December 6-10

Happy Friday! 

We had a fun week back and the students have jumped right back in. I sent an email with a few reminders, including the Christmas Shoppe, a gift for our class gift exchange, and donations for PitCare. 

The Christmas concert is Thursday night, so we've adjusted the schedule a bit so Mr. Hixon can have all students combined, which is why Music is moved to Tuesday and Thursday. 

Here is what is going on this week: 

Monday- PE, Latin 

Tuesday- Band, Art, Music, Math Test 

Wednesday- Band, Latin 

Thursday- PE, Latin, Music, Bible Test 

Friday- Assembly, Christmas Shoppe, Library, Band, Spelling Test, Geography Quiz (Optional--can take on Tuesday) 


Here is what we are learning this week: 

Science- The students have been assigned their energy projects and have worked on them a bit in class. These projects are due Monday, December 13th. A digital copy of the instructions was posted on Google Classroom. We'll also begin studying our next unit on electricity. 

Math- We will complete an investigation activity on Monday. Tuesday there will be a test. Wednesday and Thursday the students will have lessons on rounding decimal numbers and mentally dividing decimal numbers by 10 and 100. Friday the students will work in class on a math project they will begin work on--a food truck! 

Literature- We'll continue to read through Phantom Tollbooth and complete various activities along with it. 

Bible- The students will have a Bible test on Thursday. We'll review for the test on Monday. Wednesday we will begin the next unit, studying the resurrection of Jesus.
