Third Day of School -
August 16, 2012

We are on our way. We are
starting to get into a routine and figure out how everything is done. It is a
big change for the 5th graders but they are doing a great job. They are learning
how to use their planners and their expandable files. We are all patient with
each other as we are adapting to the new school year.
Today in
social studies we learned the location of the UK, Malta, Vatican City, and many
other places in Europe. We are going to start learning more about the countries
and capitals next week.

In Science today, we
learned more about the five different steps scientists use when they are
studying the world around us. We use notes from our book that the students are
filling in. This helps them to pay attention to what is important in our
textbook.

In reading, the 5th and 6th graders learned about
Noah Webster and what life was like before we had a dictionary. I also discussed
with them how new words are added to the dictionary each year and gave them some
examples.

At the end of the day, we had
English where we started to classify sentences with pattern 1. Pattern one is
subject noun verb. They took a while before they rememebered this from last
year, but then they told me their brains remembered it all!






First Day of School!


Today was the first day! We started the day
with chapel led by both pastors. Mrs. Willenbrock was installed as our 5-8th
grade teacher. We spent a lot of time this morning organizing and labeling
different notebooks. Tomorrow we will start using our organization system once
the students get homework.

The 5th graders are
reading the book Bunnicula. The 6th-8th graders are reading The Giver. If you
haven't ever read those books, I would suggest you do. I think the students will
enjoy these two books.

I hope everyone checks
this website daily to see any updates.


Planners are 5 dollars. Please buy one for
your student if you haven't done that yet.










I
am excited for our school year to start! It will be a great year! Our major

field trip of the year is a trip to Camp Lutherhaven this spring.

Daily
Schedule: Our schedule stays the same for most
of the time. There will
always be times that our schedule changes because of
field trips or other
special events that are going on. I try to be consistent so
the students
know what to expect daily. Try to schedule doctor appointments at
the end
of the day so your child won't miss any core subjects.

One important aspect this year that we will be focused on is organization.

Organization will help the students find their homework and have it done on

time. We will be using our expandable folders and assignment books to help
us do this!
Every night the students will bring home their planners and the
planners will be signed daily by parents.

God Bless Your Day!
