WHAT WE ARE LEARNING

Important Note for LA:

In an effort to help students come better prepared for class, I am providing a list of materials they are expected to bring to LA class everyday:

If students do not bring these items to class, they will now have to write their own name on the board. I am hoping this encourages them to better prepare for class and eliminate class disruptions for myself and Mrs. Bennett.

LA: MRS. PHELPS

This week we are really focused on writing our opinion pieces on the Great Pacific Garbage Patch. Students will be working on writing 5 different types of hooks to grab the attention of the reader, draft their introduction paragraph and begin their first body paragraph. Students will choose the hook they like the best as the beginning of their writing piece and build upon it from there. I am going to be taking a completion grade for the draft of their hooks, introduction paragraph and 1st body paragraph which must be complete by class Friday (assuming we get this far). 

In Morphology, we will be adding 5 NEW GREEK BASES (graph, gram, phon, photo, tele). These are the first of the Greek bases we will be learning and they are taught in groups. Since we typically only learn 1-2 new morphemes, I am considering these their vocabulary words for the week. They will still have flash cards and slides to use for studying but the quiz will look different. I will use class time this week to prepare them so they know what to expect.

Homework: 



MATH: MRS. BENNETT

This week in Math class, students will work on multiply and dividing by multiples of 10, 100, 1000. Students will begin to see a pattern develop with how the digits move and use place value understandings. We will extend this knowledge and begin to estimate products and estimate quotients before our chapter on multi-digit multiplication.

SOCIAL STUDIES: MRS. CRUSH

We will continue our unit of Geography of the United States. Students will focus on the Southeast Region.  They will learn about the land, climate, waterways, and landmarks in the Southeast.  Students will have a similar landmark project as they did for the Southeast region. They will be completing these this week and start presenting. 

*On Friday, we will be switching block times with Language Arts as we are going to be celebrating Veterans Day with a "Host a Vet" virtual program from the Kentucky Historical Society. 


RELIGION: MRS CRUSH

We will begin Chapter 3, "The Life of Virtue," in our Word of Life workbooks. The students will know that natural law leads to earthly happiness, whereas the revealed law leads to eternal law, begin to understand that Jesus fully reveals God and His laws, understand that to be virtuous persons of character, they must form their consciences, and be able to distinguish the cardinal moral virtues from the theological virtues. 

HW: Student Led Prayer~Thanksgiving II due Friday, November 10 

Tentative Ch. 3 Test is on Thursday, November 30. 

2nd Trimester Service Hours + Reflection due Wednesday, Feb. 14
