Resource Room
November is fast upon us with many changes in the forecast. Students are now finding out what is really hard for them and what is easy. Those who have been bringing in copies of their classes from Edline already knew and have been working on improving weak areas. Students are also finding out the consequences of poor study habits verses good study habits. This month I will focus on test corrections, remediation and encouraging them to”… press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.” Philippians 3:14

Up until this point in the school year, students have looked at two time periods in America’s history: the Antebellum Period before the Civil War (1820-1861) and the Civil War itself (1861-1865). Students are now learning about the Reconstruction period following the Civil War (1865-1896), which some historians call the Second Civil War in America.

Why do people move? This is one question students have been exploring as they learn about the values, beliefs, and traditions that brought Europeans to begin colonial settlements in the New World, specifically America. “What were the names of early colonies in America?” and “Why did these settlers trek across the Atlantic Ocean?” are questions students will answer in the coming days.

Sixth grade social studies students have spent the past two weeks learning about Ancient nations and empires, such as the Phoenicians, the Israelites, the Assyrians, the Babylonians, and the Persians. In the coming week students will be constructing individual timelines of these nations and empires.
Mr. Sanchez
For about a week and a half Bible students in 6th grade have been challenged to view themselves how God views them. This is to say, that God has uniquely designed each student in a special way and for a specific purpose. Bible students looked at the story of Gideon to see how God designed Gideon to deliver the nation of Israel from the hand of the Midianites, regardless of how incapable Gideon thought he was.

7P Reading Lab Class
We have been reading a novel by Jack London titled Call of the Wild. Jack London is very descriptive in his style of writing. As a class, they have been improving on their dictionary and vocabulary skills. Once the students find the meanings of words it open their eyes to the picture the author is painting in the story. Jack London paints a very vivid picture in his writing.

7th grade has been moving along quickly. Students will be having a mid-chapter assessment on the second chapter this week. They have been working hard learning the divisibility of numbers by using divisibility tests. Students will also be making factor trees at the end of the week as they continue through chapter 2.
Mrs. Racoma
Students have been working hard with a chapter test last week and staring in on mean, mode, median and range this week. They continuously challenge me to be a better teacher by the questions they ask in class. We are all moving forward together and I am proud to say that in 6th grade math, students have been doing well as a whole with getting in their homework on time. Way to go 6th grade!!!
Students are enjoying their dance routine for the Christmas program. They will be dancing and praise jumping. Be sure to come, you will be blessed.
