Can you imagine staring at a picture of a ship and sea, when all of a sudden it comes alive. You are swept into the ocean on a large wave. The waves a surging all around you and you can barely stay afloat. When all of a sudden you a rescued and pulled to safety onto the same boat you saw in the picture. This is what happened in the story “The Voyage of the Dawn Treader” by C.S. Lewis. The 5th Grade Reading Lab class has just finished this story and experienced life in Narnia with Lucy and Edmond.Reading is fun and the more you read the more you learn.

In math 1c is very busy practicing writing number sentences, extending patterns, telling time and tallying.
We all enjoyed making our Turkey Calendar markers for November.
We are very happy to have Mrs. Sawyer join our class as our new Aide.
Ms. Yvonne is working with the kindergarten group while Mrs. Torres is out having her baby!.
Prepositions, prepositions and more prepositions. It sounds a little redundant right.
Not to worry it is all leading to the writing process. This week we will be creatively writing prepositional descriptive sentences. We will also be investigating the way an author expresses their ideas through the effective use of language. For example Mrs. Emestica’s class is the best class in the entire school. Although there is some truth to that statement ( : it is very descriptive of our class. Students will examine the four elements of language: tone, metaphor, personification, and sensory language to determine what the author says and how he says it.
Exciting things are taking place in 5E. Bible is really taping into our hearts and relationship with Jesus. We just finished coming out of Egypt and are on our way to the desert. We are learning to be responsible for our actions and accountable for the things we do and say. Salvation does not come from mom or dad but only from Jesus. Our worship is really touching the heart of God our Father as He visits us with His presence every morning. In the famous words of Mrs. Emestica did you speak to him today???
We are having a lot of fun in computer lab so far this year. The elementary students come in once a week and have started to learn how to use a computer. The students are excited when they come in and get to play their games based on their grade level. The games they play incorporate every subject they are learning in class, and turns it into a lot of fun. I look forward to having their excited and smiling faces enter the lab each week.
Mr. Miller
My husband and I, through Word Vision, support a little boy named Jean Claude.
He lives in a poor village in Rawanda. I took his report card to show my 3rd grade class. The report card had all his grades and information. It also included a picture. One part had his prayer request. It said he wanted to continue his studies and do his best. My class was so touched as was I. We decided that each child would write him a letter about themselves. The letters were so moving that when I began to read them, my eyes welled with tears. They shared about families, sports, needs, prayer requests interests and all kinds of things. It was powerful. Such a simple little thing can mean so much. I’m so proud of my class for thinking of this little shoeless boy.

Our favorite class activity seems to be our workplaces math center time. Every child is given a chance to choose a math activity to work along with a partner, in a group or individually.
Ms. Calma
In science we learned the parts and function of a plant, and also the basic needs a plant needs to survive.
It is such pleasure to get to know each and every child in 1C!
This week we made new markers for our calendar. Everyone decorated a leaf, an apple or an acorn. In phonics we learned sounds of the letter “S “and how to code suffix-S.
