The 'reading test' on Friday is different this week (but like last), there will be a written response about something from our Growing Up Where Jesus lived book. It is from a chapter we are reading late in the week. They will also take the AR test and it will be recorded as a 20 point test grade.
The vocab test is much different, but like last week. We have five words we have been working with this week. They will have the list of five words and be asked to choose two to use in sentences that show they know what the words means. (The sentence "I like yeast." would not be full credit, but a sentence like, "Jesus' mom used yeast in the bread." would show understanding and be full credit. Capitalization and punctuation as well as spelling of the vocab word count- the vocab words on are on the paper!) Then they choose two other words and write what it means/the definition in their own words. For the last word, they draw a picture of what it is or what it means. They can choose which words to use for each section, using each word once. The words are: caravan, preparation, magnificent, offering, chariots.

Thursday, we will have a small conclusion -not a party :) to our reading which will include us breaking bread together. We will sample some foods included in our reading, olives, dates, figs, goat cheese, etc. We have some real foodies in class, so this should be fun!
The kids have asked if they can dress in costume. Of course. I have lots of costume pieces to bring in to share for those without a costume. In the past, kids have worn a bathrobe, an x-large t-shirt with a belt, etc. Please don't feel like you have to go out or acquire something new for this at all! This is something that our class does on its own, so we just wear whatever costume pieces over our clothes and only for the tasting. Again, I have lots of pieces to share..
