Tomorrow we will have memory verse quizzes, Bible verses written and color illustrated, SpellingCity assignments, spelling words and definitions and spelling and vocabulary quizzes. The 4th graders were also given a multiplication sheet that will be due tomorrow.In science we started working in teams on anti-drug commercials. The students were split into teams and started planning an anti-drug commercial. I can't wait to see how they turn out!
4th graders have a math test tomorrow - PLEASE STUDY!
We continued working on irregular verbs today and starting talking about how to write an essay. Here is a great video on the essay: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3sNHpXjRuL8.
Our quote for today - “For me, I am driven by two main philosophies: know more today about the world than I knew yesterday and lessen the suffering of others. You'd be surprised how far that gets you.”
― Neil deGrasse Tyson
Integrating the concept of drug awareness in their lesson was a great idea! Such activities will help ingrain the negative effects of drug abuse in the minds of those children. I’m curious as to how the kids on each team would discuss this issue. They’re so young, and I guess some might not yet comprehend the damaging repercussion of drug addiction. Those statistics and commercials could tell them so, but we know that’s not the full breadth of it. Anyway, I’d love to see how this activity turned out!

We have been talking about how our choices (good or bad) affect not only us, but the people around us. This includes doing drugs. We have been discussing the negative effects on the mind and body - and also the way it affects our social and family lives. They are very bright! I hope that if we continue to dialogue and role play and research they will be prepared to say no. Thank you for your input!
