We started with a few cold days this month. We began reading book report books. Fifth grade needs to be finished by February 5th and 4th grade needs to be finished reading theirs by January 29. Shortly after February 9th, the fifth grade will choose a biography to read, and it will be the beginning of their research report.
We are getting ready for history and science exams. If we miss any days of school, the students know we will take the test the day we return. Fortunately it looks like we will have at least a week of beautiful weather.
We are working on commas in fifth and nouns in fourth grade. Our Bible lessons are in the book of Joshua. We continue to work on expression and smooth reading voices in reading.
Today we created animal poems that rhyme for language,learned more about decimals and fractions, and we took our trial test in spelling.
We have a field trip to Stuhr Museum the 28th and all the students need to bring $7.50 for the field trip which will be an all day activity.
The students should be getting ideas for their Valentine box. Every year I have art students judge the creations the 4th and 5th graders make and give out ribbons. This year I will have the Hillsdale College art students judge them again. The 4th and fifth grade need to have their Valentine boxes here by February 5th in order for me to take pictures of the creations and get those pictures forwarded to my daughter . She then gets fellow art students voting on them. It's fun all around. The hard part for me is finding the ribbons for the categories the Art students create.
Chapel is the last Friday of the month.
