Week of March 2nd- March 9th



What’s Happening in Class?  
·        Bible
Memory verse: James 1:2-4 ESV version
Quiz will be on Friday, March 6th.

·        Spelling and Vocabulary
There is no spelling test or lesson due this week. Wordly Wise lesson 8 exercises D & E are due this Wednesday, March 5th. There is a Wordly Wise Test lesson 8 on Wednesday also.

·        Science:
The boys have completed the builds of their EV3 LEGO Mindstorm kits and are currently working on a programming challenge for their robots.

·        Reading and Writing
The next part of the biography project due is the comparison and contrast essay. We are working on the steps to complete this essay, and students are being given time to write their essays in class. I am asking that students have the rough draft of this essay completed by Thursday March 5th, because we will be going to the computer lab to type their essays on this day. The due date for final copy has been postponed to Tuesday, March 10th.
We are also currently reading a non-fiction novel, Bomb, The Race to Build and Steal the World’s Most Dangerous Weapon, in class together. This book is full of the true stories of spies and espionage during the World War II era in our country. Exciting reading!
