Important Information
On Monday, January 16, we celebrate Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. This past week we spent a lot of time learning about the life of Dr. King and some of the things he accomplished with regards to civil rights..
We will be taking the Terra Nova tests this week. Students need to make sure that they get a good night’s sleep. Also, please make sure that your child has had breakfast and should come to school with pencils in order to complete the tests.
In class, we will be working on a famous African American report. Most of the children have already selected the person they want to learn more about. We will be reading books on our famous person using GetEpic.com and then completing the report in class.
On Sunday, January 29th, the class will be singing during the 10:45 church service. Please mark your calendar. The children should be dressed in their school uniforms. Mr. DeVries and I will meet the children in the music room at 10:30. After the service, please pick up your child from the music room. I’m looking forward to hearing the children sing in front of the congregation.
Academics
Math: We are in Module 8 and continuing our work with multiplication and division. This is the final module on multiplication and division.
ELA: We are focusing on our famous African American reports. We will not be starting anything new this week because of the Terra Nova exams.
Science: Students examine how physical traits can be influenced by the environment. In the activity, Astronaut-in-Training, students will analyze how a NASA astronaut’s traits changed during his “year in space.” Then they will measure some of their physical traits (arm strength, height, and balance) and predict how their own traits might change after living in space.
Religion: We are focusing on trusting God and His Word and the power of the Holy Spirit.
