We have been learning the basic Spanish alphabet and how to pronounce every letter correctly. To enhance our learning the students have been creating a booklet of the alphabet with corresponding pictures that will help them to remember the sounds. We have also been learning new vocabulary words in order to have more knowledge for conversational Spanish.

Students learned about percents through a “Shoppers Challenge.” Students had to create a store with products that they sold and discounted. They also had to purchase products from other students and they had to figure out what their final cost would be after a percentage was taken off. It has been a great learning experience.

Students are learning about expressions and equations this month. Not only are they solving problems, but they are learning how to read equations in “word” form and write out an expression or equation. I am very proud of all of our 6th graders.

Middle School is working on Mood Paintings. Students are choosing a word that describes a feeling and are painting an abstract picture using brush strokes and colors to portray the mood. Middle Schoolers are having a great time choosing colors and words.

Students have been reading short stories in their “Of Places” textbooks. They’ve been answering comprehension questions and focusing on the elements of a story (setting, point of view, characters, rising action, conflict, climax, resolution, and theme). Finally, students have completed several stories (on their own, personal reading level) in their SRA booklets.

Students have been reading the novel Old Yeller in class and at home, as well as enjoying class discussion. They have been answering comprehension questions and completing vocabulary strengthening activities. Finally, we read an article about hydrophobia also known as rabies, answered questions, and discussed its relevance in relation to our novel.

All classes have been working on an autobiographical narrative (making revisions, adding similes, adjectives, and transition words). Students created many, original similes on their own and then illustrated one in color; these are posted on the bulletin boards. We also began working on poetry and rhyme schemes. Students wrote a poem about school at least eight lines long and made it rhyme. I am very proud of our Middle Schoolers. Great Job Guys!

7th grade has been busy in computer lab, through the combination of History and Computers. Mr. Miller and Mr. Sanchez put together a project in which the students used their knowledge of computers to help understand their section in History class. The students used Google to research their topic and then designed posters and/or political cartoons to illustrate what they learned. Overall the project was a success in many ways because of the new skills acquired in computer lab, and the historical knowledge gained in History class.

The topic we hve been studying in Bible is being lost. Most of the world is lost and aware, meaning they know something’s missing. One author said, “We each have a God shaped hole in our hearts that only God can fill”. We try to fill that hole with all sorts of things but only God can fill that void. Next we talked about lost and who cares for them. This describes a lot of our culture today, there’s a knowledge of Jesus but seldom is there conformity to Jesus. Finally we looked at Luke 15, one of the greatest displays of God’s heart for the lost. If you’re lost He wants to find you. Its not God’s desire that any should perish. So God is looking and calling and 5E is listening.
