Livingston Christian Schools 5th Grade Nov. 2-6
Bible: Exodus opens with a view of the bondage the Israelites faced as they continued to live in Eygpt. In the Bible, Eygpt is often a picture of sin. Students will see how Satan puts us in bondage through giving into temptation. The Bible, however, provides direction on how to resist temptation. Bible quiz 6 will be scheduled for Thursday, Nov. 5. This week students will complete their study of Psalm 19:1-14 by writing the message from this passage. They will write in their own words the meaning of the verses. Generally, I expect at least one sentence for every two verses. That would mean they would write 7 sentences to explain the passage.
Spelling: List 9 words are recreation terms. Spelling sentences are due Thursday, Nov. 5. The pre-test and final test will be set for Wednesday and Friday, respectively.
Language Arts: The reading selection is entitled Voyager to the Planets, pgs. 182-199. The author of this text uses elaboration through providing facts. The comprehension quiz is scheduled for Wednesday, Nov. 4.
Grammar lessons will provide practice in identifying verbs, subjects, and prepositional phrases. The next preposition quiz is on Wednesday, Nov. 4. Students will be responsible for memorizing the first 30 prepositions: aboard, about, above, across, after, against, along, among, around, at, before, behind, below, beneath, beside, between, beyond, by, down, during, except, for, from, in, into, inside, of, off, on, over.
I will continue to model writing a position paper by taking the position that the earth is between 6000-10,000 years based on biblical authority. Students are learning about writing a thesis statement, identifying counter-arguments, and establishing assertions. This week they will select their own topic on which to take a position from a list of options. Parents will approve the topic selection by the following week.
A publication celebration will take place on Wednesday to honor the diligent efforts of the Explorer's Journals that were recently completed. Students will enjoy a sweet snack as they read their writing to the class.
Math: Chapter 3 math test is set for Monday, Nov. 2. Other concepts of the week include: multiplying decimals and whole numbers, the distributive property, and dividing whole numbers.
History: What happened after explorers traveled the world? Many European poeple from Spain, France, and England began competing for land rights in the New World - where WE live! We will read about the struggles and triumphs and who finally won out in the long run.
Science: This week's lessons will highlight the reproduction of seedless plants and conifers and God's plan for pollination methods and seed dispersal. Students continue to observe their terrariums for plant growth as well as activities from the sowbugs and pillbugs. We will also create the aquarium ecosystem. Eventually, these will be combined to build a complete and self-sustained ecocolumn similar to our earth. A test will be scheduled for early next week.
