Livingston Christian Schools 5th Grade January 4-8
Bible: As students begin studying Numbers, the next book of the Old Testament, they will see God's concern for order. God is big on organization as we will see when he organized the Israelites into tribes and groups. We will also see the results of a complaining spirit and how God meets the needs of Hebrew children as they wonder in the desert for 40 years. Bible memory is Psalm 1:1-6 set for Friday, Jan. 8. There will not be a Bible quiz this week.
Spelling: The pre-test and final test are set for Wednesday and Friday, respectively. Spelling sentences for list 14 are due Thursday, Jan. 7. For the word list, look at the previous Chapman's Chit Chat.
Language Arts: The reading selection this week is entitled The Land I Lost, pgs. 338-347. This is a reading about a boy who had to leave his homeland because of war. It provides the reader with the understanding that immigrants feel lonely for the lands they left. The reading comprehension quiz is set for Wednesday, Jan. 6.
Grammar lessons will highlight identifying subjects, verbs, and prepositional phrases in sentences as well as diagramming these sentence parts.
Writing Workshop time will be focused on learning about writing a new genre called tall tale. Students will develop a unbelievable "character" that can do things which are exaggerated. Additionally, it is time to choose a writing to enter into the ACSI writing festival. More to come on this later!
Math: Lessons this week focus on fraction estimation, adding/subtracting fraction with common denominators and unlike denominators.
History: Students will begin preparing to teach their assigned chapter to the class on the original 13 colonies. Each group will develop notes, graphs, and writings to share with the class. The graphs are due this Friday, Jan. 8.
Science: We will take a break for awhile to focus on history.
