Bible: We continue our study on Moses this
week.
Psalms
46:1-3, 7
1 God is our refuge and strength,
an ever-present help in trouble.
2 Therefore we will not fear, though the earth give way
and the mountains fall into the heart of the sea,
3 though its waters roar and foam
and the mountains quake with their surging.
7 The Lord Almighty is with us;
the God of Jacob is our fortress

Reading: The renaissance fair for Crispin, was a great success! The
students were able to raise about $28.00 for our World Vision kids and about
$70.00 for Mr. Sorrell! They should be very proud of themselves! Today we will
begin reading our new novel, Bud, Not
Buddy, by Christopher Paul Curtis. This is a realistic, historical
fiction set in the era of the great depression.

Language Arts: We started our study of expository
writing this past week. Over the next four weeks we will continue learning how
to properly write expository paragraphs and research papers (short ones).
Please be aware if your student is in
band, that it is possible that your student could be missing lessons involving
writing. Band is currently scheduled at the same time we have writing for 5th
grade. I have done everything possible to work around this conflict so students
have not missed lessons in the past. With the new sports schedule coming into
play, I have to place writing at 1:15 pm, right when we return from recess.
This is also the same time band will meet. I will be placing the pages covered
from the grammar book concerning the lesson on the blog for the day. It will be
the responsibility of students and the family to go over material missed in
class due to band and sports.
