October 2009

  Second quarter sees us improving our typing skills.  We type on Typing Instructor at least once a week. 

1st-2nd: We are now typing our spelling words on Word, and playing phonics games on line.

3rd: We are working on a Publisher project that is titled "All About Me".  We are pulling pictures from the Internet, and putting our typing skills to work writing complete sentences about ourselves. 

4th-6th grades are close to completing our research about the Ring of Fire in the Pacific. 

The following data is due this Friday, Oct. 23.

(4th grade - 4 sentences, 5th- 5 sentences, 6th- 6 sentences)

-Culture

          -religion- what do they worship, how do they worship, ceremonies, clothes of the priests, etc.

          -folklore- what stories do they tell, characters, anything that explains the earthquakes

          -dances

          -costumes

          -Mythology

Language

 

 

The following do not have a length requirement, nor does it have to be in complete sentences

Geography of the location

-where is it on the globe?

-what are the significant fault features of the location? Volcanoes? Fault lines?

-Mountains? Trenches?

 

This is an opinion section.  The children need to write at least 4 sentences about how they feel it would be to live on the Ring of Fire. 

Living on the Ring of Fire

-How is it for them?  How do they cope?

-What are the advantages to living there? Disadvantages?

All grades will be working on learning keyboard shortcuts, just in case we ever find ourselves without a mouse!!!

If you have any questions please feel free to e-mail me.

Yours in Christ-
