Math: The first math test is this week over Lessons 1-5. Tuesday will be a review day and then the assessment will be given on Wednesday.
Reading: In class the students are continuing to read A Walk in the Desert. Students are working on naming the main idea for paragraphs and collaborating with a partner in a Google spreadsheet to identify the main idea and supporting details. They will still be working on vocabulary and we will listen to the story this week. Our quiz over A Walk in the Desert will be on Friday, review Thursday.
Art: The students will start on Friday with the painting of their Louise Nevelson wood sculptures. They will paint the sculptures one solid color, mimicking her artwork that was painted a solid gold, black, or white. **If you have acrylic paint that you can donate for this project that would be much appreciated, any colors will be great!**
Character Development: This week we looked at an apple. The skin reminds us of relationships when we first meet people, you have to get to know them on the surface. The "meat" of the apple reminds us of close friends, and the core of the apple reminds us of those deep relationships. We discussed different relationships that God wants us to have in our lives and how to be Christlike in our friendships.
Chapel Buddies: The students spent time reading and working puzzles with their chapel buddies on Thursday. Ask them about their time with the Kindergartners!
Spanish: This week Spanish will be on Friday since we did not have school on Monday. The students are still reviewing and refining their Spanish skills.
