In Bible Unit 3 we will begin our study of Jacob and Esau, and the first part
of Unit 3 will cover Jacob’s life as he leaves to live with Laban and finally returns to Canaan. The second half of the unit will cover Joseph’s life in Egypt, the brothers’ reunion, and finally the deaths of Jacob and Joseph. The students will be tested on each half of the unit separately, since the unit is so long. Our Fruit of the Spirit this month is Gentleness.
In Math Unit 3 we will be measuring in metric and U.S. Standard measurements. We will be exploring perimeter, area, diameter and circumference with many hand-on activities to make it meaningful. We continue to talk about the Ideas trait of the “Six Traits of Writing” in Language Arts, and are working to incorporate the grammar skills we
In Math Unit 3 we will be measuring in metric and U.S. Standard measurements. We will be exploring perimeter, area, diameter and circumference with many hand-on activities to make it meaningful. We continue to talk about the Ideas trait of the “Six Traits of Writing” in Language Arts, and are working to incorporate the grammar skills we
have been studying in our writing. Following our Reading Comprehension unit on Summarization will be a unit on Main Idea and Supporting Details beginning Oct. 7th. Students will be reading non-fiction books, finding a main idea and supporting details in each chapter, and turning the information from their visual tool into a well written paragraph with a topic sentence.
*Students should have reached at least 8 AR points by the end of the 1st quarter, October 13th.
In Science the students are performing several experiments on their rocks, comparing different types of soils and learning about fossils. Our Rocks and Minerals unit will be followed by a Social Studies unit on Ancient Greek and Roman Cultures.
