Classroom Corner, Week of April 21-25

Religion - The 5th graders will be learning about the Apostles and the leaders of today's Church.  The 6th graders will be learning about the struggles of the Jews and everlasting life.  Tests for both on Friday.


Social Studies - The 5th graders continue to read about the colonial United States; this week, we are reading about Southern plantations and Southern cities.  The 6th graders continue to learn about ancient Greek history- this week, we are reading about the Golden Age of Athens and Alexander the Great.  Both grades will have tests next week. 


Language Arts - This week, we are working on "junct, jug, and join" words which mean to join, link or meet.  Test on Friday!  We are also working on writing a persuasive essay on whether students should wear uniforms or not.  We will back up our opinion with an expert testimony and a statistic found through internet research.  The students did an excellent job on adjectives- this week, we move onto VERBS!
