Week at a Glance February 27 - March 3

Language
     This week we have new words for the Word Wall.  They are: that's, I'm, it's, we're, its, with, where, wear, threw, through, question, vacation, confusion, another.  Students need to read two books on Raz Kids as usual.  


     For writing we have been writing short pieces based on writing prompts.  Then we read what we've written to each other.  It has been a great way to do a lot of writing.  This week we'll be working on improving our writing by having topic sentences.


Math
     We are continuing to learn about measurement.


PBL
     The next thing that we are going to in PBL is design a way to protect an egg that has been thrown off of the roof.  This is related to Space since NASA has to protect people and rovers from crashing down onto a planet.


Bible
     We are continuing to learn about Joseph.  This week we'll learn about how he interpreted Pharaoh's dreams and became the second in command of all Egypt.  There are 2 memory verses.  They are Genesis 39:3 (NKJV), and Genesis 39:23 (NIV).  (I chose the NKJV for the one verse because it makes that verse into a complete sentence.)


Trip
     There was an opportunity for the class to go on a trip on Thursday.  It is a tubing trip.  There are forms sent home on Monday.


Running Club
     Running club is starting again at lunch on Mondays and Thursdays.  Students need to have running shoes and some warmer clothes until Spring really comes.
