Bible:
Memory Verse - Matthew 18:15
We played a Bible game today to help us learn our Bible books
Math:
3 Times tables
Investigation 5 / Course 1 - Lesson 2
Most students didn't finish their lessons or corrections. There is a bit of homework tonight
Science:
We worked on learning how to locate information in a textbook, and how to write our answers in note form. We worked on doing this for our Numbered Objectives and most of the kids did well. This is still a new skill and there is more work, but we are making progress
Social Studies:
We did an instructions test today that only one student passed. It will not affect their grade, but be sure to ask them about it.
Language Arts:
Handwriting - We practiced these letters, Ll, Mm, Nn, Oo
Spelling- We worked on our first side sentences today. 6th grader did 4, 5th graders did 3. The criteria for our sentences are these:
1. 10 or more words per sentence
2. The spelling word must be used in context, although verbs can be conjugated for tense.
3. Spell the spelling words correctly.
4. Underline the spelling words
Reading - We read 1/2 a chapter of Summer of the Monkeys by Wilson Rawls.
Grammar - Worksheet on identifying nouns. We did half together, and then they did half independently for me to see if they understood the concept.
Writing - I returned the rough drafts of the 2 paragraph writing assignments that were turned in. Not everyone turned one in.
PE: We worked on our core strength today by doing push-ups, and planking for 30 seconds at a time. We then played a game that worked on our conditioning.

Quote of the Day
"Children should be taught how to think, not what to think."
- Margaret Mead
Bible:
Memory Verse - Matthew 18:15
We are beginning a study on the concept of a Great Controversy between God and Satan for each one of us. Today we found out what the word Satan means in both Greek and Hebrew.
Math:
Times 3
Intermediate 5 / Course 1 - Lesson 1 We learned how to correct our work, both marking which ones we missed and how to go about correcting them.
Science:
Yesterday, the kids worked on defining vocabulary words in note form. Today, I allowed them to do this for themselves without my help. We then reviewed what they did.
Social Studies:
We finished our map scale worksheet, but still have a bit of work to do. The students have a basic grasp of the concept, but we need more practice to strengthen their understanding.
Language Arts:
handwriting - Hh, Ii, Jj, Kk
Spelling - Lesson 1 worksheet. We also talked about how to correct mistakes we made on our spelling Pre Test
Reading - We read a chapter out of Summer of the Monkeys. I am reading the book to the class and discussing the different techniques the author uses to make the story come alive. Today we introduced the concepts of foreshadowing and hyperbole.
Writing - Most of the kids are done with their 2 paragraphs detailing an important event in their lives and what they learned from it. They are finishing filling out the 'newspaper' about themselves, and hopefully we will be done by Friday.

Math: Most students are done with the placement test, the rest will finish tomorrow.
Social Studies: We are learning how to use latitude and longitude on maps, so we can plot our course in the upcoming simulation.
Science: We are learning how to take notes and to use a textbook to get information.
Language Arts:
Handwriting - We are going over how to form all the letters. Today we went over Aa, Bb, Cc

Quote of the Day:
"Education is a gift that none can take away."
- American Proverb
Welcome back to another school year!!!
Today was mostly about procedures, introductions, math placement test, and beginning to learn how to work and learn in class.
We went over the supply list and each student organized themselves for the year. Some also recognized that they may have been missing items and have agreed to bring them in the next couple of days. If you need a refresher of the list, you can find it here:
http://www.amazinggraceacademy.org/mr-baileys-5th-6th-supply-list.html
Please make sure that your student has a personal Bible for class!
Bible: No Memory Verse this week, but we will have one next week. I will introduce the idea of personal worship time to the kids, but I will begin recording it next week.
Math: Placement test. This is an opportunity to see what the kids remember from last year, and where those who are new fit into the math program. This is a two day process and won't be finished until tomorrow.
Spelling: We will begin spelling in earnest next week
Social Studies: We began working on learning the concepts of latitude and longitude.
Science: We began to learn how to read and gather information in a textbook.
Reading: We will begin our reading a whole class book, Shepherd Warrior by Bradley Booth, tomorrow.
PE: We went over the philosophy of playing games, how to have fun and be considerate of others, and did some stretching and conditioning. We will be running a mile once a week beginning next week, so please make sure your student has good running shoes!
