Livingston Christian Schools Fifth Grade Oct. 26-30
Bible: We will conclude our study of Joseph's life this week as we consider his example of forgiveness. Again, we see God's principle that although life doesn't always work out the way we want it to, God can still work all things together for our good. The Bible memory passage Psalm 19:1-12 will be tested on Friday, Oct. 30. Quiz 5 on Joseph's life will be on Tuesday, Oct. 27.
Spelling: List 7 words are music terms. Spelling sentences are due Thursday, Oct. 29. The pre-test and final test are set for Wednesday and Friday, respectively.
Language Arts: The reading selection this week is entitled Circles, Squares, and Daggers, pgs. 146-155. Students will observe the author's use of headings and captions to organize the text. A comprehension quiz is scheduled for Thursday, Oct. 29.
Writing Workshop time will provide instruction in writing a "position paper." Over the next several weeks, I will model what a position paper is and and how it is organized. Later, students will take a position on a particular topic and write a 5 paragraph essay about it.
Grammar lessons will focus on locating verbs, nouns, and prepositional phrases in sentences. The next 10 prepositions should be memorized in addition to the first 10: aboard, about, above, across, after, against, along, among, around, at, before, behind, below, beneath, beside, between, beyond, by, down, during. Students will write these from memory on Wednesday, Oct. 28.
Math: Concepts covered this week are the following: decimal estimation; adding and subtracting decimals; review of previous material. A test is scheduled for Monday, Nov. 2.
History: Chapter 4 highlights the European settlement of the New World - North America. We will see how Spain, France, and England all compete for land in the New World between 1600-1700's. Students will receive notes as we progress through the material to study for the test scheduled two weeks from now.
Science: Students will understand that vascular plants have specialized structures used to transport materials and compare them to nonvascular plants. They will be able to describe the reproduction process in spore-bearing plants and compare the differences in gymnosperms and angiosperms. They will observe the germination process and oxygen/carbon cycle in their ecocolumn.
