This week’s class motto is: Organization is the Key!
Each week we will discuss a class motto. The next two weeks, as well as the entire year, are spent working on organizational plans. Desks are organized a specific way, folders are organized, and backpacks are neat. Organization is a skill that can lead to success.
This week in Class:
History: This
week, students will enjoy a serf/lord activity wherein they take on the
roles of lords and serfs. This is in line with the theme of servitude
and cooperation. Students will have a peer discussion about the Code of
Chivalry
and the values it was based on.
Science: Having
completed their study of electricity, students will now begin their
study of life sciences. Students will start with a unit on plants,
photosynthesis, and vascular versus non-vascular plants.
Language Arts: This
week in Language Arts students will write the first major essay of the
year. This is a step-by-step process and each step is monitored by the
teacher. In Literature, students will read Emil and the Detectives. This
is a wonderful story. This is a read aloud
and students are not required to have a copy of their own. In Spalding
there will be more words and more markings.
