Rough Drafts

Today in Bible and science we talked about making good choices when we are faced with difficult or stressful situations.  We did some role playing about different situations. The story of Joseph is a great example of how a good attitude can really change the outcome of our lives - God's training ground for us.

In math the 5th graders had a mid-chapter test today. The 4th graders have their chapter 7 math test tomorrow.  Please review the week's videos and lessons with them.

Today in writing we are working on our rough drafts for the research paper.  Tomorrow we will start to peer edit.  One student was very thankful for the steps we have taken and said, "I will never write a paper again without an outline! It makes it much easier."

In reading we are working on our questions and answers and going over reading packets. Next Tuesday we will have our reading tests.

Our quote for today is from J. Baxter, “What is the difference between an obstacle and an opportunity? Our attitude toward it. Every opportunity has a difficulty, and every difficulty has an opportunity.”
