ORAL INTERPRETATION POEMS:  Finalists will present their poems in the Grades 4-6 Oral Interpretation Assembly on Monday, January 26th from 1:30-2:45 in the Peoples Church North Lobby Chapel (families invited). The top three students were selected last week to advance to our school oral presentation assembly on Monday, January 26 and, if chosen, will then represent our school at the Peach Blossom Festival in early spring.

WRITING: Students will write fictional narratives during the third quarter, focusing on story elements such as characters, setting, villain, conflict, rising action, climax and resolution.

READING: The required reading for January will be a genre of the student’s choice. Students will write a Response to Literature which is due on Friday, January 30. We will review how to write a Response to Literature in class this week. Class time will be given every day for silent reading and students are expected to read a minimum  of 10 pages a day. If they are unable to complete this in class, then reading becomes homework.

MATH: This week we continue Chapter 7: changing mixed numbers to subtract fractions

SOCIAL STUDIES: This week we continue Chapter 4 the settlement of the early colonies.

BIBLE: This week we begin Unit 5

SCRIPTURE MEMORY VERSE:

The memory verse for this week is 2 Timothy 3:16-17 and the test will be this Friday, January 30. Students will be graded on writing the verse accurately, including correct wording, spelling, punctuation, grammar and scripture reference.

All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the servant of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.
