It’s definitely feeling like fall these days! I’ll be reminding the kids to bring jackets and to dress in layers, since it’s colder in the morning and warmer in the afternoons most days.
Pumpkin Day:
We have a fun day ahead this week! On
Wednesday, October 1 we have Pumpkin Day!
After chapel, the kids will get to go pick out a pumpkin, have a pumpkin
donut for a snack, and play some pumpkin games.
We’ll end the morning with “It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown!” We’ll get to spend most of the morning with
our 6th grade buddies, so we’ll also get some great bonding time
with them.
Christian Studies:
This week, as we continue to work our way through the Old Testament, we’ll
learn more about Joseph and how he forgave his brothers, and how God
provides. We’ll also learn about God
calling Moses through a burning bush.
Math:
This week we’ll start a new module in math about gathering and showing
data. First, we’ll record data with
tally marks. Then we’ll learn how to
interpret and draw picture graphs. We’ll
end the week by learning to interpret and draw bar graphs.
Language Arts:
This week our phonics concept is Bossy R-ir.
This is the second most common way to spell the “er” sound. We’ll also work on the red words “water” and “watch.”
This week we’ll be
looking at a new genre of text: informational text. The students will learn about some characteristics
of informational text, and we’ll discuss the main idea and supporting details
of the text.
Science:
In science this week we’ll learn about patterns of solid water on Earth and
where to find it. We’ll also learn about
other patterns on earth involving land and water (i.e., mountains are often
found side-by-side, islands are often found in groups, etc.). Then the students will plan on how they’re going
to add two patterns to their models.
