Bible: We will study portions of Genesis and Revelation to see the "book ends" of God's plan for man. Notes will be provided to prepare for Bible Quiz 1 on Thursday, Sept. 17. Bible memory, Psalms 19:1-2, will be tested in WRITING on Friday, Sept. 18.

Spelling: List 1 pre-test is scheduled for Wednesday, Sept. 16. If 100% is earned on this pre-test, the student does not have to take the test again on Friday, but if just one word is misspelled, the final test is set for Friday, Sept. 18. A new list will be sent home on Friday to be studied over the weekend.

Language Arts: The reading selection this week is entitled Mukasa at School, pgs. 40-45. As we enjoy this story, we see how Mukasa's first experiences with reading are exciting. A comprehension quiz is set for Wednesday, Sept. 16. and should be turned in by Thursday, Sept. 17.

Grammar lessons provide practice in locating singular and compoud verbs in sentences.

Writing Workshop time provide time to write or read. This week students will write descriptions of scenery. We will learn how choosing the right verb to use in a sentence can make writing more interesting. In fact, we will have a funeral to bury "dead verbs."

Math: Lessons will cover concepts such as powers, exponents, order of operations, and variables.

History: God speed! That's how people said "good-bye" in the 1400-1500's as many left their homeland to explore the world. We will learn how and why people took such great risks in these expeditions.

Science: Now that we know what is contained within the smallest living things, we will now learn about "animals" that only have ONE cell in their whole body! They are called single-celled organisms. Some words you will learn are cilia, flagellum, diffusion, and osmosis. Students will be assigned a project to create a model of a plant or animal cell at home. Please see the attached sheet for requirements. This is due Monday, Sept. 28.
