From the Class Bloggers April 29, 2022 Kate and Will
In science on Tuesday we had a germ lab which was a block period. We went
upstairs to the science lab in Mrs. Crenshaw’s room. Our 5th graders also left for camp
Wartburg on Wednesday. Our 8th graders left for their class trip to Kansas City on
Thursday. Also on Wednesday we had a block day for social studies and we worked
on a big ThingLink for the whole 6th grade. Everyone picked a random country in the
European Union to research about. In math we are working with Algebra tiles. In gym
class on Thursday we did dodgeball. That's about it!
Tuck Everlasting
WHAT IF YOU COULD LIVE FOREVER???? In Literature, students have begun the novel, Tuck Everlasting
by Natalie Babbitt. Kids are leading small group discussions in "book
club" format, with the roles of Discussion Director, Connector, Illustrator, and Word Wizard. We will be exploring the literary elements of foreshadowing,
character development, motive, and universal theme as the characters
ponder the benefits and downfalls of living forever. It will be exciting to
look at the novel through the eyes of faith as we discussed God's
original design in Eden as well as our eternal life in the heavenly home
he has prepared for us. Students are discovering the blessings God
gives us in this life through the many stages we live and even more
blessings to be received in eternity with Him! We will culminate the novel with creative projects.
READING IS INDEPENDENT for much of the book. An audio version is available on GC.
