Week 30: Cell Projects

It was a very full week:  new quarter, new units (New Testament, poetry, India and the IT industry) and CELLS!    Thanks to all the help at home for getting students together and helping shop for supplies.  The cells were AMAZING!  There is a fun game in my Diigo account (see websites tab above) to help remember the function of each organelle.

Today your child is bringing home the 3rd quarter report card.  Celebrate successes and encourage him or her to set goals for the rest of the year: neater handwriting, AR points by the midquarter,  asking more questions in class - we strive to do our best with the abilities God has given us.  Please don't hesitate to contact me or a subject area teacher with questions. 

I hope all of you have a restful and fun break.

In Him,
Mrs. Riemenschneider

English 6   Week of March 13-17th

Spelling: Unit 23, packet and quiz on Friday.

English: This week we are continuing with our modifiers unit. We are discussing proper adjectives, the use of more/most, and adverbs.

Writing: Last week students wrote haikus and recipes using vivid word choices and proper adjectives. This week we focused on a close read---meaning we analyzed a short text passage for meanings and inferences. After spring break we will begin our research paper and continue on with close reading/analysis writings.

BobCaps Project

Students visited every class to introduce our BobCaps Recycling project

One team of students put together the slides

Others organized advertising through posters and have been decorating containers for collecting

We were excited that Preschool had already collected LOTS of caps for us

A pair of girls assigned everyone to classes across campus so we could pitch our project

A pair of boys learned the process for weighing the caps - 15.8 lbs so far

Spread the word to colleagues and family!  Save those caps!
