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???
Students are learning the importance of covering our mouths and washing hands to limit the spread of germs. In addition, we are learning about how good bacteria helps in our bodies and all about bad bacteria.

We are learning about the basic of life Cells and the importance of the microscopes. Our Science program is very “hands-on” and the students are having a “blast” learning.
Students are learning about minerals and how to identify them along with the forming of minerals. We also went to the Hall of Science this week. The students had a great time of learning and fun.

We continue our series Survival Quest by studying Leah to learn how to survive rejection, Nehemiah to see how we can survive peer pressure, and Mary (mother of Jesus) to learn the traits for surviving family stress. It is my desire to utilize the 8th graders this month to bless those in and around the school as we prepare to share time with our loved ones giving thanks for what we have.

November sees the 7th graders finishing the classic tale Island of the Blue Dolphins and the 8th graders finishing the true story of Christian Holocaust survivor Corrie ten Boom in The Hiding Place. We will be culminating these stories with activities to bring to life what the students have read in the stories. By mid-November, the 6th, 7th, and 8th graders will be embarking on the wonderful journey with The Chronicles of Narnia series. The classes will each read one book from the series: The Silver Chair, The Magician’s Nephew, and The Last Battle. We’ll spend some time entering Thanksgiving vacation by watching one of the two recent Narnia movies that have come out. Bring your own popcorn!

November will be an exciting time for my 6th, 7th, and 8th grade students as they truly apply what they are learning in an admirable way. We will be examining the correct way to compose different types of letters. Practicing in school is great, but what would make it even better? Blessing someone through it! For Thanksgiving, the students will be writing friendly letters to soldiers serving overseas. We will use this month in which we give thanks to say THANK YOU to those who serve our country and cannot be home with their loved ones. Would you like to join us in this effort? Please contact Mrs. Candelier if you would!
