WHAT WE ARE LEARNING

Language Arts- Mrs. Phelps

This week is very exciting! We are beginning Literature Circles! The students will be reading the novel, When You Reach Me by Rebecca Stead. We have a class set; you do NOT need to purchase this book. Students were introduced to literature circles on Friday, if any students were absent they can find the slides below or on Google Classroom. This week will be guided by me and I will be doing the reading out loud, while modeling the literature circle roles/jobs.

After this week, students will be given certain pages to read and a job to complete for the following week. They can always use in class time during our rotations to read and work on their job. 

Vocabulary: Our words will come from the text and students will still be quizzed on 5 words on Fridays. These quizzes will also include our new morphology concept for the week. This week there will be no quiz, however, we will be discussing the vocabulary in class. 

Morphology: This week we will add the new Latin base "port", meaning to carry, gate or entryway. Examples are transport, airport, and import. 

Homework:  None (Homework begins next week)

Social Studies: Mrs. Crush

Students will continue their research on their topics in both Social Studies and Technology. Researching these topics will allow the students to teach their classmates and learn the importance of these events or people throughout our history. We will be working on these projects the next couple of weeks. Due Date: TBD.

Religion: Mrs. Crush

We will continue Chapter 5, "God Enters Time and Space," in our Word of Life workbooks. The students will come to know the significance of the circumstances in which Jesus was born, learn that the purpose of the Incarnation of Jesus was to make it possible for man to become more like God through grace, come to know that God takes earthly ordinary signs, symbols, and actions, and sanctifies them and works through them, and learn that through graces received through the sacraments, we receive capacities.
