Livingston Christian Schools 5th Grade May17-21
Bible: Fifth graders will present chapel on Wednesday @ 8:30 AM. Please join them as they present an overview of the Old Testament. This week during our study of the Bible in class, students will consider the books of Proverbs and Ecclesiastes. Proverbs is considered the book of "wisdom" as it contains many short statements filled with Truth. Ecclesiastes, on the other hand, outlines what life is like when man decides to live without God. The Bible memory verse test over Romans 8:26-27 is set for Friday, May 21.
Spelling: L32 words are descriptive terms. Spelling sentences are due Thursday, May 20. The pre-test and final test are set for Wednesday and Friday, respectively.
casual, adaptable, efficient, admirable, emphatic, gracious, brilliant, identical, imaginary, convenient, precise, extraordinary, ecstatic, deluxe, embarrassing, hospitable, indefinately, corrupt, arrogant, persistent, inquisitive, frequent, Hebrews, James, 1 and 2 Peter, celestial, terrestrial, affluent, adequate, colossal, accessible, conspicuous, consecutive, envious, jealous
Language Arts: The reading selection this week is a light-hearted tall tale set in the West. It's entitled McBroom the Rainmaker, pgs. 218-229. While a fun tale to read, it illustrates the struggles faced by the early settlers in that part of the country. The comprehension quiz is due Thursday, May 20.
Grammar lessons will highlight puncuation skills.
Writing Workshop time will be devoted to writing a tall tale. A rubric will be provided to students so they understand what elements are required for the composition. The typed rough draft is Friday, May 21.
Math: Lessons this week include comparing integers and adding integers.
History: How does a law come to be? Students will be submitting their ideas, called bills, to 5th grade congress. By the end of the year, they will have selected a bill to become 5th grade law. This exercise will assist students in understanding how our government is organized to balance out the three branches - no branch has more authority than the other. Additionally, we will learn about how the Bill of Rights was added to the Constitution to protect the freedoms of people in the United States. We will also take a look at how the nation's new leaders during the 1780's worked together despite their growing differences. A test over this material will be set for Friday, May 28.
Science: The students have completed some great science research projects. This first experience is also challenging, but in the future, it should prove to be easier. I am anxious to have them share what they learned from the process.
We will also continue thinking about the earth in relationship to the sun. We've already learned the earth's axis is slightly tilted, resulting in the four seasons we experience each year. Discussion of the concentration and amount of sunlight a region receives determines the characteristics of the seasons.
