Tell Them
Let each generation tell its children of your mighty acts; let them proclaim your power. Psalm 145:4 NLT
Happy Spring! Hopefully this great weather stays around and we are done with the snow for this year. I hope that you had a restful break and are ready to get back into the routine of school. With that said, this is a short week since it is Holy Week. We will not have school on Friday or Easter Monday.
We have the cognitive part of the test left for our Iowas. We will be doing those Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. Then we will have that off our plate! This week the sixth graders will also start the process of their research paper. Since this is there first time doing a project we will be going step by step through the process. Please note the timeline with this post. I hope to stick to that timeline as best as possible. I will let you know if we veer from it. Your child will need your encouragement and check ins to make sure they are the right track. This week I will give them an overview of the process and ask them to start thinking of what they would like to research. Here is an important date that they will need your help with: Friday, April 21st - The students will need three (or more) books that go along with their topic. Our library is limited so this may require a visit to the public library. They will be using the books from now until the end of the school year. Also on this day, the students will need a pack of index cards. They can pick the size they would prefer (3x5 or 4x6). Please buy the lined cards. As I mentioned we will be going step by step through the process. If you have any question during the process, please let me know. I will be giving the students a few class periods during the process to take notes in class. It is important for them to have the sources at school during this time. I will work with the computer sub to give them some time to type their paper in computer class. The majority of the work for this will need to be done at home. I will encourage the students to pace themselves with the note cards...a few a day. The students may stay after school on any Tuesday for specific help on this project. If you need your child to stay for more than that amount of time, please make those arrangements ahead of time. This week we have memory on Wednesday and it is the 3rd part of Baptism.
