Map Skills


Since this is a short week we will not be having spelling words, definitions or Spelling City assignments. We will still have Reading Plus and memory verses.

Our Bible verse this week is, "Little children, we must stop expressing love merely by our words and manner of speech; we must love also in action and in truth." 1 John 3:18

We started our new quarter in Social Studies today.  We are reviewing map skills.  The pictures from today show the map skills scavenger hunt the students took.  Here is a simple video to explain some of the skills they learned: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dKeq5ICmVHo

In writing we talked about voice as one of the writing traits of good writing. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IC81B4_ajLI.  In reading we learned about the elements of a story: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lnUnxzNZzk8.

At rotations the students also had a chance to work on their typing skills at http://www.bbc.co.uk/guides/z3c6tfr.

If you have not done,so please make an appointment in the office for parent teacher conferences on Thursday.

Our quote for today is from Aristotle, "We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then is not an act, but a habit."
