Fifth Grade Language Arts February 18th-21st

What’s Happening in Class?  

·          Bible: We continue our study on Moses this week.

Psalms 126:1-3 Memory verse for February 26^th!

1When the Lord restored the fortunes of  Zion,
    we were like those who dreamed.
² Our mouths were filled with laughter,
    our tongues with songs of joy.
Then it was said among the nations,
    “The Lord has done great things for them.”
³ The Lord has done great things for us,
    and we are filled with joy.

·         Reading: Today we read to the end of chapter 9 in Bud,Not Buddy. Students in band need to finish reading the chapter. There will be a comprehension quiz for chapters 4-9 on Thursday.

·         Language Arts: We started our study of expository writing this past week. On Thursday students will pick an expository essay from a class list. The plan is to work the essay step by step in class, so as to not pile on homework. If your student is absent, please check the blog to see which step needs to be made up.

·         Spelling and Vocabulary:  Wordly Wise lesson 10 exercises D and E will be due on Wednesday, February 19^th. The test for Wordly Wise lesson 10 will be this week on February 19^th. Spelling homework lesson 18 and words 3x each will be due on February 19^th. This week is a review lesson so students were asked to pick 20 words from the list that give them trouble and write those words 3x each. We will also have our spelling test on Feb. 19^th.

·          Science:  The boy’s science class of robotics is moving right along; programming began this morning! It was such a blast and very educational.
