Evepun though it's not what we had in mind and I'm sad about not finishing the year together in the classroom, I'm confident our kids are ready for their next step-- Mustang Mountain.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;"><br/></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">I can't wait to see everyone at the graduation next Thursday (see details here-- <a href="https://cdn-files.postach.io/86adc4bd-921a-437c-8a8e-9413291bdd54/be2d07a7-92f4-4f81-86e1-8373948b8a3e/219dfa3e-050c-4e22-9cc9-babfb9a5625e_orig.pdf" target="_blank">Download PDF</a>)</div>

Weekly Memo (April 20-24)https://jcollier.postach.io/post/weekly-memo-april-20-242020-04-20T16:27:45.850000Z2020-04-20T05:01:00ZJordan Collier<div><div><div style="text-align: center;"><div style="text-align: left; "><b>This week would have been the week that...</b></div>
<div style="text-align: left; "><br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left; ">Just a few weeks ago, today, April 20, would have been a big day at CAC, and I’m pretty bummed about both.</div>
<div style="text-align: left; "><br /></div><ol><li><div style="text-align: left; ">When school was first cancelled, it was for two weeks (through April 17), which meant we would have gone back to school today. I would love to just go back to school and get back to our normal routine! I miss seeing our kids every day, especially on Mondays when we would hear about everyone’s weekend.</div></li><li><div style="text-align: left; ">We would have kicked off our standardized testing this week. The general feeling about testing isn’t usually positive, but I enjoy it and some kids do, too. I’ve experienced testing in other schools, and I think CAC strikes the right balance between taking testing seriously and not putting all of our hope in tests. I would have loved to have had our class take the tests because they would have crushed it and they deserve to know that. Oh well. They’ll most likely get that chance next year!</div></li></ol><div style="text-align: left; "><br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left; ">I’m missing these two things, and as we near the end of the year, we’ll have more and more of the "this would have been the week that…" moments. Although we’ll get a little bummed, we’ll get through it and make the most of this time. We can do this!</div>

Weekly Memo (April 13-17)https://jcollier.postach.io/post/weekly-memo-april-13-172020-04-16T03:49:38.495000Z2020-04-12T05:01:00ZJordan Collier<div><div><div style="text-align: center;"><div style="text-align: left; "><span style="font-weight: bold;">Remote Learning & Grades</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;"><b><img src="https://cdn-images.postach.io/86adc4bd-921a-437c-8a8e-9413291bdd54/8754363e-54fa-4a52-b1e5-f06dd0210970/29b3b5e1-f006-4e9c-8519-7be8b2117f70.jpg" /><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: left; "><br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left; ">Last Friday, Mrs. Custer shared how grades will be recorded in RenWeb during this remote learning time (<a href="https://www.cacmustangs.org/campuses/4th-5th-grade-remote-learning-grades/">click here</a> for details). </div>
<div style="text-align: left; "><br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left; ">I’m a huge proponent of this grading philosophy as we move forward into this unexpected and uncharted time. Never in my time in education (either as a student or as a teacher) have I experienced what we are going through today, and it’s important to view everything we’re doing as different— including everything about grades.</div>
<div style="text-align: left; "><br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left; ">As you might have noticed, our class has relied more on self-checks and completion assignments during this remote learning time, but that’s not much different than when we were in the classroom. Each day, in math for instance, students would complete an assignment and we’d check it the next day. We wouldn’t check for accuracy (i.e., a grade given based on the number correct) but rather for completion. We used math practice sets as just that— practice. We’ve been doing the same online and we’ll continue that process going forward.</div>
<div style="text-align: left; "><br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left; ">The difference going forward will be on tests. Since there’s not a great way to "give a test" the traditional way during this remote learning time, we’ll have to change that up a bit, but I don’t think that’s the end of the world. In fact, a regular assessment is just as beneficial as it was in the classroom to check for understanding, but maybe it’s even better now because there will be less external pressure and more internal pressure (i.e., students want to excel not for the grade but to prove their understanding).</div>
<div style="text-align: left; "><br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left; ">It’s definitely a shift in the traditional grading approach, but I love it, and I think you will, too.</div>
<div style="text-align: left; "><br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left; ">Today, I’ll begin to enter in grades for the first two weeks of remote learning. Please don’t panic if you are notified of a missing grade or of an NI (needs improvement) because your child didn’t meet mastery. That’s ok. I’m just letting you know, and your child can resubmit the assignment for full credit (once mastery has been achieved). Ultimately, I believe "<span style="font-weight: bold;">Grades are communication, not compensation" </span>and this new grading format allows just that.</div>
<div style="text-align: left; "><br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left; ">I know remote learning wasn’t what any of us signed up for back in August, but none of us signed up for a global pandemic, either. It’s just where we are, and we’re going to make this a great experience. Whether in the classroom or the living room, I want your child to learn, to grow, and to be prepared for the next year, and I’ll do whatever I can to make that happen— even though I’ll be doing it from my back deck rather than the front of the classroom.</div></div><hr /><div><span style="font-weight: bold;">Monday, April 13</span></div><ul><li><div><span style="font-weight: bold;">Bible</span></div></li><ul><li><div><span style="font-weight: bold;">10-15 Minutes of Bible Reading/Journaling</span></div></li><ul><li><div>This is just like we've been doing in class (your choice).</div></li><li><div>Since you don't have your journal with you, you may write on notebook paper instead.</div></li><li><div>Share with someone what you read today.</div></li></ul><li><div><span style="font-weight: bold;">Ruth Assignment- April 13</span></div></li><ul><li><div>Read Ruth 3:1-18</div></li><li><div>Complete <span style="font-weight: bold;">15.3 Ruth Is Loyal</span> in your Bible workbook (pg. 59) to learn how Ruth Obeys Naomi.</div></li><li><div>Take a picture of assignment and submit on GC.</div></li></ul></ul><li><div><span style="font-weight: bold;">English/Reading</span></div></li><ul><li><div>Finish reading <span style="font-style: italic;">Indian in the Cupboard </span><span style="font-weight: bold;">Chapters 15-16 (pp. 192-227)</span></div></li><li><div>Reading groups 1, 2, & 3 will meet Tuesday.</div></li><li><div>Reading groups 4, 5, & 6 will meet Wednesday.</div></li></ul><li><div><span style="font-weight: bold;">Math</span></div></li><ul><li><div><span style="font-weight: bold;">IXL Practice</span> over recommended skills (10 minutes or until mastery— whichever comes first)</div></li><li><div><span style="font-weight: bold;">Lesson 79— Finding Equivalent Fractions by Multiplying by 1</span></div></li><ul><li><div>Watch the <span style="font-weight: bold;">Math Set 79 Video Lesson</span> (link in Google Classroom)</div></li><li><div>Complete the <span style="font-weight: bold;">Math Set 79 </span>math set (Saxon Math book)</div></li><li><div>Write answers on notebook paper. </div></li><li><div><span style="font-weight: bold;">Check your work</span> using the link provided in Google Classroom.</div></li><li><div style="text-align: left;">After checking your work, complete the <span style="font-weight: bold;">Self-Report Math Set 79— April 13 </span>form (link provided in Google Classroom).</div></li></ul></ul><li><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Science</span></div></li><ul><li><div style="text-align: left;">Watch <span style="font-weight: bold;">Mystery Science: How Can the Sun Tell You the Season?</span></div></li><li><div style="text-align: left;">Complete assignment <span style="font-weight: bold;">How Can the Sun Tell You the Season?

Weekly Memo (April 6-10)https://jcollier.postach.io/post/weekly-memo-april-6-102020-04-08T03:43:30.882000Z2020-04-05T05:01:00ZJordan Collier<div><div><div style="text-align: center;"><div><br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Week One In the Books</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">We made it through week one of remote learning! (We did make it, right?!)</div>
<div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">Between running my first few Zoom meetings, answering questions, troubleshooting issues, writing online lesson plans, helping Cooper and Millie Kate with <span style="font-style: italic;">their </span>classes, keeping an eye on a 4-year-old and a 2-year-old, and helping take care of a newborn baby, this was quite a week! Friday tired was a new kind of tired for me. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">But that’s ok. In spite of all that, it was a good week for me, and I hope it was a good week for you.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">I was asked some great questions from students (that I probably wouldn’t have been asked in class), I was able to pinpoint some specific math skills we need to work on, I was able to meet with small groups as we start reading a new book together, and I was able to see all of my students again a few different times this week through Zoom. I’d call that a win!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">For me, this past week was trying to figure out a routine, creating workspaces, and learning the new ways we’ll be doing things. I’m guessing it was like that at your home as well.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">This week should be a little smoother. I’m looking forward to adding some science and social studies lessons to our work routine, and I think the kids will really enjoy them.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">Have a great week! If you need help or have any questions, please let me know!</div>

<div style="text-align: left;">I don’t know about you, but this year’s spring break was not what I had expected! We were supposed to go to Silver Dollar City, hang out with friends and family, and spend 4 days at a family camp. We didn’t get to do any of that, but that’s ok. At least we got to have a parade— that’s a first!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">Although it was a different spring break, I appreciated the time being home and s-l-o-w-i-n-g d-o-w-n. In the busyness of life, this was much needed for the Collier crew as we do our best to remain healthy and help slow down the potential spread of the COVID-19 virus.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">I hope it was a good break for you as well. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">As much as I wish we were going back to school today, we’ll still be getting back (sort-of), and I’m thankful for that. This week is both exciting for teachers, students, and parents, but it can also be a stressful one. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">As I planned our lessons and work for this week, I tried to be really mindful of the excitement and stress that will come from doing something we’ve never actually done before— remote learning. Our class’s plan is below. It’s designed to be asynchronous (can be done at any time) but also interactive (we’ll have some Google Meet and Zoom times to visit as a class). The Google Classroom page will update each day with links, assignments, and directions, so if everything isn’t there right now, don’t panic. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">If you run into any problems or if I can help, please don’t hesitate to reach out to me!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">Later this week, I’ll be sending a survey link just to find out how it’s going at your home. Please look for that and send me your feedback.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">I’m praying for your families. Hang in there.</div>

<div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Arial;">I had a great time last week at the National Christian School Association conference in Washington, DC. It's always good to be with school leaders from other Christian schools that share a common mission, and it was really cool that our conference was at the</span> <a href="https://www.museumofthebible.org/" style="font-size: 12pt; color: rgb(54, 101, 238); font-family: Arial;">Museum of the Bible</a><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Arial;">.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;"><font face="Arial" style="font-size: 12pt;"><br/></font></div>
<div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Arial;">This year's theme was "Consumers to Contributors," and we heard some amazing authors and speakers share their thoughts on how to engage our students more to become young men and women on fire for the Kingdom of God. The conference was very uplifting for me, and it helped remind of the mission of being a teacher at CAC.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Arial;">If you ever get the chance to visit the Museum of the Bible in Washington, DC, I highly recommend it! My favorite exhibit was the Old Testament experience, which you can get a glimpse of below. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 14px;">Book Fair week is the books, and what a week it was! Our students did an outstanding job helping Mrs. Lambert put on such a great fair, and my favorite thing about it is watching the 5th graders lead by example. On the final day of the fair, our class got to walk through the fair with their book buddies and sit and read with the PreK-4 kids. It was awesome!</span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt;">I love Book Fair week, but not just because I love to see kids get excited about reading. I love it even more that our class helps other kids get excited about reading. It's going to be a big week for the 5th grade this week, and I can't wait to watch them step up, lead well, and encourage younger kids. It's going to be a good (and crazy) week!</span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;"><font style="font-size: 14px;"><br /></font></div>
<div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: 14px;">We had a great ending to last week— and I’m so thankful for the extended weekend! Congratulations to Kaylin, Jonah, and Stella for receiving the most votes for the Valentines Day boxes. They were all so good, and I’m thankful everyone went all out on it. In case you weren’t able to stop by the display room, you can click the image below to view all the boxes.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: 14px;">In addition to celebrating Valentines Day on Thursday, we also spent the morning at the secondary campus working on our pottery projects for Art class. Students created their clay works of art, and they’ll be ready for the kiln in about a week or two. You can click the image below to view pictures from our experience. </span></div>

<div><span style="font-size: 14px;"><br /></span></div>
<div><font size="4">While we’ve been reading <i>Fish in a Tree</i>, we’ve had several conversations about <i>empathy</i> and <i>sympathy</i>. In the book, there are several characters our students can connect with, and it’s really interesting to hear who they connect with and <i>why.</i></font></div>
<div><font size="4"><i><br /></i></font></div>
<div><font size="4">Today, I asked students to identify a character they felt sorry for (sympathy) and why. It was really interesting hearing students feel sorry...</font></div><ul><li><div><font size="4">for Ally because she has a hard time reading</font></div></li><li><div><font size="4">for Shay because she’s mean and tears others down so she can feel better about herself)</font></div></li><li><div><font size="4">for Albert because he gets picked on and comes from a poor family</font></div></li><li><div><font size="4">for Travis because he drives a pickle-colored car</font></div></li><li><div><font size="4">for Jessica because she’s a follower who never shares her own opinions</font></div></li><li><div><font size="4">for Sukl because she doesn’t get see her grandparents or family because they live in another country</font></div></li><li><div><font size="4">for the bullies that pick on Albert because they are unkind and don’t know how to treat others with respect</font></div></li></ul><div><span style="font-size: 14px;"><br /></span></div>
<div><font size="4">I then asked them to think about the character they can most relate to (empathy), but we didn’t share those responses— those are personal, but they are great things to think about.</font></div>
<div><font size="4"><br /></font></div>
<div><font size="4">In the end, I hope that by reading this book together we all learn to be empathetic and more sympathetic in our relationships with others. I mean, don’t we all want kids who are able to understand and relate to others?</font></div>

<div style="text-align: left;"><font face="Arial" style="font-size: 14px;">Tomorrow our class will begin reading a new book together called <i><a href="https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B00KWG61P0/ref=smi_www_rco2_go_smi_g3905707922?_encoding=UTF8&btkr=1&ie=UTF8">Fish in a Tree</a> </i>by Lynda Mullaly Hunt. It’s a great story about a young girl (Ally) who has a hard time in school because she learns differently from others. In the book, we read about her struggles and get a peak into what it’s like to see the world through someone else’s eyes. We also learn about what it means to be a good friend, and how we all need to accept everyone— especially because we’re different. This book teaches so many lessons that are perfect for 5th graders (and for adults!), and I’m excited to read it alongside them.<br /></font></div>

<div style="text-align: left;"><font face="Arial" style="font-size: 14px;">We’ll be reading it in many different ways— as a class read aloud, listening to and reading along with the audiobook, in small groups, in pairs, and individually. Most of the reading will be done at school, but students may need to read some at home as well. I would encourage you to <a href="https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B00KWG61P0/ref=smi_www_rco2_go_smi_g3905707922?_encoding=UTF8&btkr=1&ie=UTF8">get a copy</a> and read along with us to further the discussion at home. </font></div><hr /><div><span style="font-weight: bold;"><font face="Arial" style="font-size: 14px;">What We’re Learning This Week (if all goes as planned)</font></span></div>

<div><font face="Arial" style="font-size: 14px;"><br /></font></div>
<div><span style="font-family: Arial;">As we are learning about Joshua and Caleb leading the people of Israel after the death of Moses, we spent time discussing leadership and identifying key characteristics of godly leaders. Hearing what our students considered to be godly leadership characteristics was inspiring, and several of them mentioned their parents and grandparents (and even other students in class) as examples of godly leaders.</span></div>
<div><br /></div>
<div><span style="font-family: Arial;">In recognition of Martin Luther King Jr. Day, we also spent time learning about his life and the way he served as a key leader of the Civil Rights Movement in our country. Martin Luther King Jr. was a great leader, and he certainly exemplified many of the godly leadership qualities mentioned in our class discussion.</span></div>
<div><br /></div>
<div><span style="font-family: Arial;">In the hall outside of our classroom, we’ve displayed a mural our class worked on to commemorate Martin Luther King Jr. Day, and around it are papers students wrote describing the positive leadership attributes of Dr. King.</span></div>
<div><br /></div>
<div><span style="font-family: Arial;">I’m proud of the thoughts our students shared, and I’m thankful to be in a learning environment where we can celebrate and recognize godly leadership qualities. I can’t wait for students to return tomorrow to see and be proud of their work that is posted. </span></div>

If you have another suggestion, I’d love for you to share it with me! Ultimately, no matter what control app you prefer, it’s critical you use one and stay on top of your child’s online activity. As a parent once shared with me, "Be all up in your kids’ business! They’re kids."</span></div>

Weekly Memo (January 13-17)https://jcollier.postach.io/post/weekly-memo-january-13-172020-01-17T13:59:17.449000Z2020-01-12T15:00:00ZJordan Collier<div><div><div><font style="font-size: 14px;"><span style="font-size: 14px; font-weight: bold;">A New Semester</span></font></div>
<div><font style="font-size: 14px;"><br /></font></div>
<div><span>For most of us, a new year is a great time to start new things and make changes, and the same is true in a classroom. This semester, we’re going to do things a little differently than the fall semester. Here are few of the changes we’ll be making or have already made:</span></div><ul><li><div><span style="font-weight: bold;">New seating arrangement</span><span>— For the first semester, our room was set up in cooperative learning groups of 4 (and one group of 5).For this semester, we our room is set up in more of a stadium-seating arrangement with students sitting in pairs. We’ll still be able to do many of the same cooperative learning activities that we did before, but just in a new arrangement.</span></div></li><li><div><span style="font-weight: bold;">Spelling Tests— </span><span>We’ll follow the same format of having a pre-test on Thursday and the test on Friday, but we’ll add a review assignment to help students master the words. For any words missed on the pre-test, students will need to rewrite them five times and turn in the next day prior to taking the spelling test.</span></div></li><li><div><span style="font-weight: bold;">Vocabulary Tests— </span><span>In addition to testing over the vocabulary words from the Journeys chapter each Friday, we’ll also include vocabulary words from our Social Studies and Science lessons.</span></div></li><li><div><span style="font-weight: bold;">Class Novels— </span><span>In addition to independent reading novels and reading stories from our Journeys textbook, we will also read two novels together this semester (</span><span style="font-style: italic;">Fish in a Tree </span><span>and </span><span style="font-style: italic;">Indian in the Cupboard</span><span>). Both are great books, and I’m looking forward to reading them as a class. We’ll start our first one in the next two weeks.</span></div></li></ul><div><span style="font-size: 14px;"><br /></span></div>
<div><span>These are just a few of the things we’ll add to our routine this semester, and there will be a few more along the way. I’m looking forward to another great semester as we prepare to move to middle school next year.</span></div>

Weekly Memo (January 6-10)https://jcollier.postach.io/post/weekly-memo-january-6-102020-01-09T19:54:27.408000Z2020-01-06T15:00:00ZJordan Collier<div><div><div><span style="font-weight: bold;">Rested and Ready</span></div>
<div><br/></div>
<div>I always love Christmas break for two reasons— it gives everyone time to rest and it also gives everyone a fresh start. We had a great break at the Collier household, and I hope all of you did as well.</div>
<div><br/></div>
<div>I was blown away by the Christmas gifts from our class— thank you! We tried to use all of our gift cards over the break, and I also made it a point to drink as much coffee and eat as many sweets as possible! I received a couple of Amazon gift cards, and I thought long and hard about what to buy with them because I wanted to spend them on things 5th graders would approve of. I think I nailed it (see video below).</div>

<div><br/></div>
<div>I can’t wait for school to start tomorrow! I’ve missed seeing everyone, and I’m looking forward to hearing about their adventures over the break. It’s going to be a great final semester for these kids at PV, and I know we’re going to make some special memories.</div>

<div><b><img src="https://cdn-images.postach.io/86adc4bd-921a-437c-8a8e-9413291bdd54/0ac40e87-ad15-4bda-8f87-cb68be945b25/6a1ed3ec-6e94-4235-af32-eaaebae9603f.jpg" /><br /></b></div>
<div><br /></div>
<div>Last week was an interesting week. We came back from Thanksgiving break, went to Harding University on Tuesday, had a "normal" day of school on Wednesday, attacked the track on Thursday, and had a "normal" Friday (if a "normal" Friday even exists).</div>
<div><br /></div>
<div>While that may sound like an abnormal week, I’m learning to consider that just another week in the life of 5th grade. To be honest, though, it’s not much different from how things go on Mustang Mountain. It always seems like something’s going on every week, an activity is scheduled, and a trip or two is planned. </div>
<div><br /></div>
<div>I’m good with that, though, and the kids are, too. We had a lot of fun, still accomplished a lot of classwork, and we learned through experiences. I don’t think it gets much better than that.</div>
<div><br /></div>
<div>As I look ahead at the next two weeks, it seems like it’ll be much of the same— so I guess it’ll be a "normal" week for us after all.</div><hr /><div><span style="font-weight: bold;">Redworm Update</span></div><ol><li><div>They’re alive (mostly).</div></li><li><div>The food is molding.</div></li><li><div>Their habitats smell awful.</div></li></ol><hr /><div><span style="font-weight: bold;">What We’re Learning This Week (if all goes as planned)</span></div>

Weekly Memo (December 2-6)https://jcollier.postach.io/post/weekly-memo-december-2-62019-12-05T15:36:16.110000Z2019-12-02T14:26:00ZJordan Collier<div><div><span style="font-weight: bold;">They All Died— But That’s Not Necessarily So Bad</span></div>
<div><br /></div>
<div>Well, our redworm habitat experiment was a bust. A major one. We made the habitats on a Monday, and by the following Wednesday, they were all dead. By Friday, they smelled awful and we paid our last respects before sending them to the great compost pile on the other side of town.</div>
<div><br /></div>
<div>Most classrooms would call it a bust and move on, but not us. Instead, we wanted to know <span style="font-style: italic;">why </span>the little guys didn’t make it, and then developed a plan to see if we could do better a second time around. After finding an <a href="https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/composting/vermicomposting/vermiculture-worm-death.htm/?print=1&loc=top">article about vermicomposting</a>, we analyzed how we did in these four critical areas:</div><ul><li><div>Moisture</div></li><li><div>Temperature</div></li><li><div>Air Circulation</div></li><li><div>Food</div></li></ul><div><br /></div>
<div>With a solid evaluation of our first go round, today we developed a hypothesis for Redworm Habitat Experiment Take Two and are giving it another shot.</div>
<div><br /></div>

<div><br /></div>
<div>Will it work this time? Will the redworms make it?</div>
<div><br /></div>
<div>I don’t know, but that’s the fun of learning, right?</div>
<div><br /></div>
<div>Isn’t that what science experiments are supposed to be all about?</div>
<div><br /></div>
<div>Having a hypothesis and a lab design, and then observing to see if it’s correct?</div>
<div><br /></div>
<div>It was disappointing when our first redworms didn’t make it, but it wasn’t necessarily so bad because now we get to learn through our own failures, and that’s really the best way to learn.</div>

Weekly Memo (November 18-22)https://jcollier.postach.io/post/weekly-memo-november-18-222019-11-18T21:47:10.659000Z2019-11-15T14:26:00ZJordan Collier<div><div><span style="font-weight: bold;">Learning Through Experiences</span></div>
<div><br /></div>
<div>We’ve had some really good learning experiences the past week. Our kids did an outstanding job performing at the Veterans Day programs both at PV and at the secondary campus. Although I’ve heard it countless times, it never gets old hearing the 5th graders sing the armed forces medley. It’s quite an experience— both for me and for the students— to sing and recognize each branch and then see the men and women they know stand up for each branch. What a great experience for our students, and it’s one they won’t ever forget!</div>
<div><br /></div>
<div><img src="https://cdn-images.postach.io/86adc4bd-921a-437c-8a8e-9413291bdd54/8a9c1f38-e040-45ec-8f8c-417d2d12178b/5474c96f-776b-41a8-8dab-837f08d19cb7.jpg" width="2048" title="Attachment"/><br /></div>
<div><br /></div>
<div>In addition to last Monday’s performances, take a look at the video below to get a glimpse of us learning about decomposers and nature’s recycling system. Today, we created our redworm habitats, and we’ll observe them periodically until Christmas break. This is going to be a fun lab, and just like the experience of singing on Veterans Day, it’ll be one they remember.</div>

<div><br /></div>
<div>I look forward to hearing about all the learning experiences that happen over Thanksgiving break. Have fun!</div>

Weekly Memo (November 11-15)https://jcollier.postach.io/post/weekly-memo-november-11-152019-11-10T22:06:28.216000Z2019-11-10T14:26:00ZJordan Collier<div><div><b>Learning Responsibility</b></div>

<div>We did it! We made it through our first week of lockers, and what a ride it was! The first day was a mixture of excitement, some anxiety, and a little frustration. By Friday, the excitement was still there, but the anxiety and frustration had just about left.</div>
<div><br /></div>
<div>Before we moved into the lockers, we practice our combinations and we walked through how to organize a locker (i.e., books should be vertical, spines facing out, books grouped together). Since then, we’ve worked mainly on the social aspects (i.e., not shouting, waiting for the person above/below to finish, not pushing, etc.) and being quick.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>It’s been fun watching this whole process knowing how developing these skills now will help them at the secondary campus. When we went to the secondary campus for the matinee on Friday, I saw our kids eyeing the purple lockers in the hallway, and several asked me about them. The locker thing is a <i>big</i> deal for many of our kids, and I love that by practicing now, much of their anxiety will be lessened.</div>
<div><br /></div>
<div>Practically, do we <i>need</i> to have lockers this year? No, not really. </div>
<div><i><br /></i></div>
<div><i>Should </i>we have lockers this year? Absolutely! </div>
<div><br /></div>
<div>Even with a week of practice under our belts, I’m curious how many combinations I’ll have to look up tomorrow morning. But I guess that’s why we’re practicing, right?</div>

<div><b><br /></b></div>
<div>We had a great time on our 5th grade retreat last Friday (and it was much needed!). It was so good spending the day with the NLR 5th graders, and I could see the start of some great friendships that could last a lifetime! Today students wrote about their experiences, and many of them talked about the friends they made and the things they got to do. It was awesome!</div>

Weekly Memo (October 28-November 1)https://jcollier.postach.io/post/weekly-memo-october-28-november-12019-10-29T21:09:04.311000Z2019-10-25T13:26:00ZJordan Collier<div><div><span style="font-weight: bold;">Three Types of People</span></div>
<div><br/></div>
<div>I've been in enough public bathrooms to know there are three types of people:</div>
<div><br/></div>
<div><span style="font-style: italic;">Those who throw paper towels on the floor of the bathroom.</span></div>
<div><br/></div>
<div><span style="font-style: italic;">Those who throw paper towels in the trashcan but don't notice the ones on the floor.</span></div>
<div><br/></div>
<div><span style="font-style: italic;">Those who throw paper towels in the trashcan and pick up the ones on the floor.</span></div>
<div><br/></div>
<div>(I bet you're relieved I didn't go another direction with that opening statement of "being in enough public bathrooms to know there are three types of people"!)</div>
<div><br/></div>
<div>As we're all raising our kids together, how cool would it be to raise a class of kids who throw their own paper towels in the trashcan and pick up the ones on the floor? Obviously, I'm not focused just on bathroom etiquette, but rather the overall attitude of personal responsibility and having a servant heart. I want our class-- and all classes at CAC-- to be self-aware, responsible, and empathetic, always looking for opportunities to help others.</div>
<div><br/></div>
<div>Teaching and parenting go hand-in-hand, and neither is easy. Teaching opportunities abound for all of us, and even when it's easier to move right past those opportunities in our busy lives, it's critical we slow down and take the time to teach, correct, and give our kids the opportunity to do right. After all, as Andy Andrews says, "The goal isn't to raise great kids-- it's to raise kids who become great adults," and I want our kids to grow up to be adults who pick up the paper towels.</div>

Weekly Memo (October 21-25)https://jcollier.postach.io/post/weekly-memo-october-21-252019-10-26T21:25:48.903000Z2019-10-18T13:26:00ZJordan Collier<div><span style="font-weight: bold;">Conferences & Feedback</span></div>
<div><br /></div>
<div style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic; color: rgb(32, 188, 255);">Trust makes conflict the pursuit of truth.</span></div>
<div style="text-align:center;"><span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic; color: rgb(32, 188, 255);">-Patrick Lencioni </span></div>
<div style="text-align:center;"><br /></div>
<div>When I was a kid, I didn’t necessarily look forward to parent/teacher conference day. I did like having the day off, but I remember sweating a little wondering what my mom would possibly talk to my teachers about. A few times, I had the privilege of sitting just outside the classroom door as they discussed my academic progress, my classroom behavior, and my social well-being. My mom would nod and smile while listening to my teacher share <span style="font-style: italic;">something </span>about me, but from where I sat, I had no idea what was being said.</div>
<div><br /></div>
<div>Being able to see conferences from a teachers’ perspective and from a parents’ perspective has helped me re-shape my view on them completely. Now, both as a teacher and a parent, I look forward to them because it’s a great opportunity to pause midway through the first semester and make sure we’re all on the same page.</div>
<div><br /></div>
<div>Sometimes I’ve had to share some tough feedback and sometimes I’ve had to hear it, but when that feedback comes from a place of love for the child, it’s easier to give and to receive. Ultimately, what’s best for this child is all that matters— even when it might be tough to hear.</div>
<div><br /></div>
<div>Most times when my mom would return from conferences, we’d talk about what the teacher had said, then we’d talk about areas I needed to work on (usually being organized and not talking so much). That was typically about it. I don’t think my mom ever really learned anything about me, but I know she appreciated meeting with my teachers and reaffirming they loved me and wanted me to be successful. I hope that’s the message I communicate to students and parents every day.</div><hr /><div><br /></div>

Weekly Memo (October 14-18)https://jcollier.postach.io/post/weekly-memo-october-14-182019-10-24T20:20:31.008000Z2019-10-11T13:26:00ZJordan Collier<div><b>Let him tie his own shoes.</b></div>
<div style="text-align:center;"><br /></div>
<div>A few weeks before Carson was born, a friend of mine gave me some advice I think of often and was reminded of when talking with our Pre-K teachers this week:</div>
<div><br /></div>
<div><i>"The best thing I did for my own child was to let him tie his own shoes. He’s going to do it slowly and you’re going to get impatient. But even when you’re in a hurry and you could do it much faster than he can, let him tie his own shoes."</i></div>
<div><br /></div>
<div>She used shoes in her advice because it was both practical, tangible, and metaphorical— she could have said <i>coats, brushing teeth, packing a lunch, missing the bus, studying for a test, forgetting an assignment at home, talking to a teacher about something, completing a science fair project, working out a conflict with a friend, or anything else </i>kids have to learn to do.</div>
<div><br /></div>
<div>It’s hard to watch a kid "tie his own shoes" sometimes, but there’s no safer place than school to let it happen. At school, the stakes are low and kids have a safety net under them to catch them if they fall.</div>
<div><br /></div>
<div>This week, I saw student tie his/her own shoes (metaphorically). In a nutshell, that student couldn’t find an important paper that was needed for an open-note test. It’s not the first time that it’s happened this year for him/her, but the responses were completely different. The first time involved several public comments about it, lots of worry, a little bit of whining, and even some tears when I told them to find a solution. This time, though, the student handled it much differently. I didn’t even know there was an issue until the student approached me privately with a solution: "Since [so-and-so] isn’t here, could I just use their copy and then put it back when I’m finished?"</div>
<div><br /></div>
<div>Same student, but two completely different approaches and responses to the same problem. I was so proud and responded that I loved the plan!</div>
<div><br /></div>
<div>That moment goes straight to part of our mission at CAC— <i>to partner with parents to provide a distinctively Christian education that inspires excellence, </i><b><i>independence</i></b><i>, and a transforming faith in God. </i>While the stakes are low and a safety net is place, it’s good for kids to learn to deal with hard things on their own, sometimes figuring out things and sometimes failing in the process— because that’s when we get to really help them learn about life before it’s more than simply "tying their own shoes."</div>
<div><br /></div>
<div>While they may be hard at the moment and I could easily swoop in and "tie a kid’s shoe for him," I’m looking forward to more moments like this throughout the year!</div>

Weekly Memo (October 7-11)https://jcollier.postach.io/post/weekly-memo-october-7-112019-10-11T02:05:44.210000Z2019-10-04T13:26:00ZJordan Collier<div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Monitoring IXL Progress</span></div></div>
<div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">As I’ve shared a few times this year (<a href="https://jcollier.postach.io/post/weekly-memo-august-19-23">here</a> and <a href="https://jcollier.postach.io/post/weekly-memo-september-2-6">here</a>), we’ve been using IXL (an online learning program) in class. We’ve been using IXL as an early morning starter for students who arrive before 8:00, and we also log in throughout the week to target specific skills after a lesson. When averaged, each student has spent approximately 434 minutes working on IXL since August 12 which amounts to around 11 minutes a day. That doesn’t sound like a lot, but the results are pretty remarkable.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">This week I received two congratulatory certificates from IXL.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;"><img src="https://cdn-images.postach.io/86adc4bd-921a-437c-8a8e-9413291bdd54/c96e823e-7d22-466c-9de8-e0580203bee8/f02098ae-7fdc-49f7-8103-539849072092.jpg" title="Tap to Download"/><br /></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">Our most recent Achievement Summary is below, and you can see the progress we’re making as we work towards skill proficiency and mastery.</div>

<div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">I’ve been really impressed with the progress our class has made this year, and I can’t wait to continue to watch them grow and learn about the world them. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">I want to encourage you to log in and check your child’s progress and even have them walk you through the program. They can tell you all about the questions, scoring, and skills we’ve been working on in class. To help you navigate the site, I created the tutorial video below that will walk you through checking your child’s progress report.</div>

<div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-style: italic;">By the way, students are certainly permitted to work on IXL outside of the classroom, but I’ll never assign it as homework nor do I want students to feel like it’s a burden. Instead, it’s simply a supplement to instruction and it’s something students enjoy doing. Let’s keep it that way!</span></div><hr /><div style="text-align: left;"></div>

<div><span style="font-style: italic;">I grew up without a dad at home for the first ten years of my life. Since I didn't have an example to follow (actually, I had more of an "example not-to-follow"), reading </span>Boys Should Be Boys<span style="font-style: italic;"> has helped me get a handle on raising my three sons (and I know I have a long way to go!). </span><span style="font-style: italic;">This book offers some great insight-- for both a father's role and a mother's role-- in raising boys. If you’d like, you can read my notes and the key passages I highlighted (</span><a href="https://cdn-files.postach.io/86adc4bd-921a-437c-8a8e-9413291bdd54/c96e823e-7d22-466c-9de8-e0580203bee8/fd0f6b32-c914-4a3b-94f2-c8b37643f181_orig.pdf" target="_blank">Download PDF</a><span style="font-style: italic;">)</span><span style="font-style: italic;">.</span><span style="font-style: italic;"> I hope they are as empowering and encouraging to you as they were for me.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">Our 5th grade class had quite a lot going on the past five days of school! Last Friday we spent the day at Pinnacle, then Monday we hit the ground running with the book fair which continued through Thursday, and we ended today with a great Grandparents’ Day performance. On top of all that, we still had our regular classes, took four tests, and worked on a narrative writing piece.</div>

<div style="text-align: left;"><br/></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">This week was a LOT for anyone to handle— especially for fifth graders, but honestly, they handled it like champs. I loved seeing them take on the extra responsibilities and step up to the challenges in front of them. Knowing what’s in store for them at the high school campus and beyond, I know they're on the right track and will be ready for the transition.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;"><br/></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">There were a couple of times this week I could tell the stress, extra responsibilities, and anxiety were getting to us. The recess football games got a little more intense, the transitions from class activities were a little slower, and there were even times we didn’t choose the kindest way to respond to each other. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;"><br/></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">And that’s what I love about education— it provides endless opportunities for students to do the right thing and it provides teachable moments when we mess up. This was a great week to work on that, and we made some significant progress. We learned to balance our time, to regulate our emotions, to own our mistakes, and to make things right when we messed up. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;"><br/></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">While it was a great week with a lot going on, I’m probably not the only one in class who’s looking forward to beginning a "regular" week of school (whatever that is) on Monday.</div><hr/><div style="text-align: left;"/><div><span style="font-weight: bold;">What We’re Learning This Week (if all goes as planned)</span></div><ul><li><div><span style="font-weight: bold;">Bible</span></div></li><ul><li><div>Joseph’s Life (Genesis 37-50)</div></li><ul><li><div>Why did Joseph’s brothers hate him?</div></li><li><div>How was Joseph mistreated and how did he respond?</div></li><li><div>What kind of character did Joseph have?</div></li><li><div>How can God take our negative situations and make them positive?</div></li></ul><li><div>Memory Verse— Ephesians 4:32</div></li><li><div>Books of the Old Testament</div></li></ul><li><div><span style="font-weight: bold;">Reading/Vocab</span></div></li><ul><li><div>Read-Aloud</div></li><li><div>DRA Testing</div></li><li><div>Journeys</div></li><ul><li><div>Read "Off and Running" by Gary Soto</div></li><li><div>Skills: Theme; Compare/Contrast; Idioms</div></li></ul><li><div>Next AR Test Deadline— Monday, September 30</div></li><ul><li><div>Must be a grade-level book</div></li><li><div>Must be a book that the student has not yet tested on</div></li><li><div>Must be a book read this nine weeks</div></li></ul></ul><li><div><span style="font-weight: bold;">Social Studies</span></div></li><ul><li><div><span style="font-style: italic;">Studies Weekly #3—</span> American Indians</div></li><ul><li><div>Compare/contrast cultural aspects of ancient American civilizations</div></li><li><div>Identify American Indian tribes</div></li><li><div>Identify ways good citizens go above and beyond</div></li><li><div>Test on Friday (Update: Test will be next Tuesday)</div></li></ul><li><div><span style="font-style: italic;">Time for Kids</span></div></li></ul><li><div><span style="font-weight: bold;">Math</span></div></li><ul><li><div>Lesson 21— Word Problems About Equal Groups</div></li><li><div>Lesson 22— Division With and Without Remainders</div></li><li><div>Lesson 23— Recognizing Halves</div></li><li><div>Lesson 24— Parentheses and the Associative Properties</div></li><li><div>Lesson 25— Listing the Factors of Whole Numbers</div></li></ul><li><div><span style="font-weight: bold;">Spelling</span></div></li><ul><li><div>Lesson Eight Words (see below)</div></li><li><div>Pre-Test Thursday<span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;"> </span>(perfect scores will not need to take Thursday’s test)</div></li><li><div>Test Friday (if necessary)</div></li></ul><li><div><span style="font-weight: bold;">English</span></div></li><ul><li><div>Pronouns</div></li><li><div>Review Subjects & Verbs</div></li></ul><li><div><span style="font-weight: bold;">Writing</span></div></li><ul><li><div>Handwriting Practice (pp. 15-16)</div></li><li><div>Narrative Writing (Revision Process)</div></li></ul></ul><div><br/></div><hr/><div><span style="font-weight: bold;">This Week’s Memory Verse</span></div>

Weekly Memo (September 23-27)https://jcollier.postach.io/post/weekly-memo-september-23-272019-09-25T20:51:02.777000Z2019-09-20T13:26:00ZJordan Collier<div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Reading With Our Kids</span></div></div>
<div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">I can’t think of a better way to connect with your child regularly than by reading a book to them or with them. As a parent, I get to do it with my kids at home, and as a teacher, I get the opportunity to do it with your child every day.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">Trust me on this— your child <span style="font-style: italic;">loves</span> stories and, even though your child <span style="font-style: italic;">can</span> read independently, your child <span style="font-style: italic;">loves </span>to be read to! In fact, I’d argue that no matter how old a child (or adult) is, we all love stories. There’s something about story that connects us. It engages us, connects us, and helps us see the world together like nothing else.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">If you’re already doing that, great! Keep it up.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">If not, now’s a great opportunity to begin and it’s certainly not too late to start! In fact, this is our first year for me and my kids to listen to audiobooks on the way to school each morning, and it’s been such a positive way to start our days. I wish I had started doing it years ago!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">Now, I’m not trying to drum up business, but with the book fair coming up next week, this is a great time to pick out a book to read either with your child (you read it, your child reads it, and you talk about it), alongside your child (you download the audiobook and listen to it together in the car), or to your child (you read while your child listens).</div>
<div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">If you’re looking to get started or are looking for more book ideas, below is an audiobook, a podcast, and a book recommendation based on my experience.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Audiobook</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.audible.com/pd/Love-Does-for-Kids-Audiobook/B07FTDFS97?qid=1568946492&sr=1-1&pf_rd_p=e81b7c27-6880-467a-b5a7-13cef5d729fe&pf_rd_r=C2CCVV672VPBDPW12MJN&ref=a_search_c3_lProduct_1_1"><img src="https://cdn-images.postach.io/86adc4bd-921a-437c-8a8e-9413291bdd54/9e52f59e-7d8a-4133-a229-66cdb148674d/7e16c9da-a566-4d71-9465-af95cb67c93d.jpg" /><br /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">Love Does for Kids <span style="font-style: italic;">is </span><span style="font-style: italic;">the first book we listened to on the way to school this year. It’s so good and my kids loved it! Bob Goff, who is one of the best storytellers I’ve ever heard, tells stories after stories about the lessons he’s learned growing up, being a teenager, dating, being married, and being a parent. All of them are funny, engaging, and told at a child’s level, and they each include an inspirational thought about what being a Christian today is all about. This is a great one to start with.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Audio (Podcast)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-official-adventures-in-odyssey-podcast/id193181775"><img src="https://cdn-images.postach.io/86adc4bd-921a-437c-8a8e-9413291bdd54/9e52f59e-7d8a-4133-a229-66cdb148674d/fd0084ca-9cd5-42af-9344-7703414b9c58.png" /><br /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-style: italic;">This one isn’t technically an audiobook, but this podcast is full of engaging stories and it’s what we’re listening to now each morning. I remember listening to these stories as a child when I rode around with my grandparents, and now I’m enjoying the experience with my kids. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Book</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.amazon.com/dp/B001I45UFC/ref=dp-kindle-redirect?_encoding=UTF8&btkr=1"><img src="https://cdn-images.postach.io/86adc4bd-921a-437c-8a8e-9413291bdd54/9e52f59e-7d8a-4133-a229-66cdb148674d/6800969b-334e-4e8d-a89d-212e13687025.jpg" /><br /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-style: italic;">This one is a classic and my kids loved it! I had never read any of the </span>Chronicles of Narnia<span style="font-style: italic;"> before reading this one with my kids, and we had so much fun! It took us a few weeks to get through, reading a chapter each night, but as we neared the end, we planned our big movie night to watch it together after we have finished the book. We’ve had so many conversations about this book and have referred to it often, and I’m so glad I got to experience that with my kids.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">I loved experiencing all three of these with my kids, but honestly, the options are endless and you may have some books in mind that would great to read with your child (<a href="https://www.evernote.com/l/ABpcyZjjnoFMPqjm0R-kqcGyFbFfwqZrfYI">click here</a> for other books I’d recommend to read with your kids). The key is to make time to do it and get in a routine. From being with our students every day, I know they love being read to, and I also know your relationship with your child will grow stronger and deeper just from the shared experience of story. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">If you’re already in a reading routine with your child, keep it up! They love it and are not too old for it!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">If you’re ready to start a reading routine, do it! The investment will pay off.

<div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;"><img src="https://cdn-images.postach.io/86adc4bd-921a-437c-8a8e-9413291bdd54/0a7165cf-ef14-4ed4-9493-d660745547ed/d0a8089d-88f0-492f-b679-0ee762da2820.jpg" /><br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">This week I had the chance to hear my hero in education speak— Dr. Todd Whitaker. It’s probably a stretch, but I told the class it was like a basketball fan getting to hang out with and learn from Michael Jordan. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">Dr. Whitaker has written several books in the educational field, and two of my favorites are <span style="font-style: italic;">What Great Teachers Do Differently</span> and <span style="font-style: italic;">What Great Principals Do Differently</span>. Both of these books are constants on my summer reading list because they get me fired up about the upcoming school year.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">Even though I’ve heard Dr. Whitaker speak a few times, I’ve read almost all of his books, and I’ve already heard most of his cheesy jokes ("Why did the man go to the doctor after eating a muffler? He was exhausted.), every time I hear him speak I always learn something new that I can’t wait to start doing in class. This year was no exception.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">On Tuesday, I learned <span style="font-weight: bold;">all people have three emotional modes—</span> <span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;">business, parent,</span> and <span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;">child</span>. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><ul><li><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-style: italic;">If an adult is in business mode, students go into business mode.</span></div></li></ul><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><ul><li><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-style: italic;">If an adult is in parent mode, students go into child mode.</span></div></li></ul><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><ul><li><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-style: italic;">If an adult is in child mode, students go into child (or parent) mode.</span></div></li></ul><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">This is true at school, at home, and everywhere in between. For example, when I need my kids to clean up their room at home, here is a totally, this-has-never-happened-before (wink, wink), hypothetical way it might go down:</div>
<div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left; margin-left: 40px;"><span style="font-style: italic;">Me: Carson and Cooper, I need you to clean your room in the next hour.</span> <span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;">(Parent Mode)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left; margin-left: 40px;"><br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left; margin-left: 40px;"><span style="font-style: italic;">C&C: Ugh, I don’t want to clean room! We hate cleaning our room. It looks fine. </span><span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;">(Child mode)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left; margin-left: 40px;"><br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left; margin-left: 40px;"><span style="font-style: italic;">(After a few minutes of hearing complaining, arguing, and gnashing of teeth)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left; margin-left: 40px;"><br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left; margin-left: 40px;"><span style="font-style: italic;">Me: (Angry and frustrated) I’ve told you five times to get your room clean! Get it done or I’m going to be back in here with a trash bag and I’ll help you clean! </span><span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;">(Child mode)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left; margin-left: 40px;"><br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left; margin-left: 40px;"><span style="font-style: italic;">(Millie Kate enters the room after overhearing the argument)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left; margin-left: 40px;"><br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left; margin-left: 40px;"><span style="font-style: italic;">Millie Kate: Dad, I’ll help them!</span> <span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;">(Parent mode)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left; margin-left: 40px;"><br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left; margin-left: 40px;"><span style="font-style: italic;">Me: (Now mad at three people!) No, you won’t help them! I told them THEY would do it, and THEY are going to do it!</span> <span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;">(Child mode)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><hr /><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">Again, totally hypothetical (wink, wink), but how many times has something like this happened at our house? How many times would the parent/child mode be avoided in this situation if I’d simply stay in <span style="font-style: italic;">business mode</span>?</div>
<div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left; margin-left: 40px;"><span style="font-style: italic;">Me: Carson and Cooper, I need you to clean your room in the next hour.</span> <span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;">(Business mode. Same words, but tone is key.)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left; margin-left: 40px;"><span style="font-style: italic;">C&C: Ugh, I don’t want to clean room! We hate cleaning our room. It looks fine. </span><span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;">(Child mode)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left; margin-left: 40px;"><br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left; margin-left: 40px;"><span style="font-style: italic;">(After a few minutes of hearing complaining, arguing, and gnashing of teeth)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left; margin-left: 40px;"><br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left; margin-left: 40px;"><span style="font-style: italic;">Me: Carson and Cooper, I know you’re frustrated, but I need you to clean your room in the next hour. What can I do to help you get started?</span> <span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;">(Business mode. Tone is key.)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left; margin-left: 40px;"><br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left; margin-left: 40px;"><span style="font-style: italic;">(Millie Kate enters the room after hearing the conversation)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left; margin-left: 40px;"><br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left; margin-left: 40px;"><span style="font-style: italic;">Millie Kate: Dad, I’ll help them!</span> <span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;">(Business mode)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left; margin-left: 40px;"><br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left; margin-left: 40px;"><span style="font-style: italic;">Me: Thank you, Millie Kate. They may appreciate your help, but that’s up to them. In the end, they just need to have their room clean in the next hour so we can…</span> <span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;">(Business mode. Tone is key.)</span></div><hr /><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">Reading about the modes and <span style="font-style: italic;">hearing</span> them are two different things, but I hope these scenarios help communicate the point. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">When I got back to the classroom on Wednesday, I shared with the class the differences between the modes and how when we’re in class learning, from here on out, we’re going to be in business mode— and we’ve been practicing that and it’s written on the board. I explained to them that as an adult, it’s much easier for me to transition from business mode to child mode and back to business mode, but for kids, it’s much harder because they’re still developing that skill. And as their teacher, I have to understand that and provide transition time and guide them from child mode (playing on recess) to business mode (walking back in the building so we can go learn about indirect objects). For me, that’s easy; for a 5th grader, I’m asking them to move a mountain. An easy solution would be to force them to comply, but instead we’re working on developing the personal skill of transitioning from one mode to another.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">We just wrapped up day three of identifying the modes and working to stay in business mode— and you can feel it in the classroom. Labeling the modes and being aware of them has already transformed our classroom. Ask your kids about it— they can explain it way better than I just did.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">I learned several other things from Dr. Whitaker on Tuesday that I’ll use in class this year, but I’m going to camp out on the three emotional modes for a while.</div>

Weekly Memo (September 9-13)https://jcollier.postach.io/post/weekly-memo-september-9-132019-09-13T03:04:09.151000Z2019-09-06T16:26:00ZJordan Collier<div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">What To Say To Your Child After School</span></div></div>
<div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">Each year as school begins on the secondary campus, new students and their parents are invited to New Student Orientation. It’s always scheduled the week before school begins, and it’s designed to give students a low-stress evening to walk the hallways, practice their combination a few times, meet their teachers, and get acclimated with life on Mustang Mountain before the first day of school. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">As part of the program, administrators have a session with parents to cover things like dress code, pick-up procedures, RenWeb, etc. When talking with parents about RenWeb, I’d mention how notifications could be set up so that they’d get an email every time a grade was entered that fell below a certain percentage. I’d see parents' eyes light up thinking about how that extra tool could help them hold their child accountable. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">And while it is a great tool, I would always pause and warn parents not to use it as a weapon with their child— especially right after school. Middle school and high school is a stressful time for kids, and the last thing a kid needs to hear from mom or dad when getting in the car after school is, "So, tell me about the English quiz grade. You got a 60?"</div>
<div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">Most parents would nod in agreement when hearing that, but it would never fail that throughout the year, I’d need to remind some parents over and over again. A conversation should be had if grades are slipping, but timing is everything— and immediately after school in the pick-up line is neither the time nor the place.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">So if you shouldn’t discuss that email notification, what should parents say to their child after school? </div>
<div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">I’ve talked with several parents and students about this, I’ve read books and blog posts, and I’ve heard professional counselors offer advice. You may have some great recommendations, too, but here is my current favorite (courtesy of Dr. Wendy Model):</div>
<div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">The best thing we can say to our kids when we pick them up after school is</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;">"I thought about you today when…"</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-style: italic;">I thought about you today when I went to the grocery story and got your favorite cereal.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-style: italic;">I thought about you today when I was eating my lunch around the same time as your lunch.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-style: italic;">I thought about you today when I started sweating in the parking lot and I knew you’d be a sweaty mess on recess today.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-style: italic;">I thought about you today when I heard this song on the radio.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">Notice it’s not about grades or academic performance or behavior nor is it a barrage of questions like "How was your day?" or "What did you do today?" or "Did you have fun today?" (which usually provide answers of "fine," "nothing," and "I guess so").</div>
<div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">Instead, it’s a powerful statement and reminder of your love for your kid. Growing up is hard and school is stressful. Sometimes it’s just good for kids to be able to let down their guard and relax a little right after school and be reminded they are loved. What better way to do that than hearing they were thought about during the day, they were missed during the day, and they were valued during the day?</div>

Weekly Memo (September 2-6)https://jcollier.postach.io/post/weekly-memo-september-2-62019-10-05T02:42:18.252000Z2019-08-30T16:26:00ZJordan Collier<div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Leveraging Technology In Our Classroom</span></div></div>
<div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">One of my favorite things about being back in the classroom is having the ability to use Chromebooks to explore and utilize some of the classroom tools I was introduced to as an administrator. Just this past week, we used three new-to-me learning tools— Google Classroom, Kahoot, and IXL— and while I’m still learning all the ins-and-outs of each program, I’m loving them and the kids are, too!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">It was one thing to observe other teachers using technology in their classrooms, but for me, it’s a whole new level of excitement getting to explore what technology can do and how it can enhance the learning experience. What happened in class yesterday is a perfect example of how leveraging technology in the classroom— <span style="font-style: italic;">using a balanced approach</span>— is ideal for student learning and growth.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">In our English lesson on Wednesday, we learned and practiced identifying nouns as subject complements. (You know, when you have a subject, then a linking verb, then a noun in the predicate that renames the subject.)</div>
<div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">Students turned in their assignment Thursday morning and after looking through them, I noticed a common error occurring— many students were confusing objects of the preposition and subject complements. With the day’s lesson being <span style="font-style: italic;">nouns as direct objects</span> I knew we were in for some trouble.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">Instead of attempting to teach students about direct objects, we put the day’s lesson on hold and focused on the prerequisite skill needed— <span style="font-style: italic;">identifying prepositions and prepositional phrases</span>. We have to be able to do that before we can identify other ways nouns can be used in a sentence.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">To do that, we logged into IXL and practiced two skills— identifying prepositions (if they felt they needed help with that) and identifying prepositions and their objects. Students worked on those skills while I floated around the room and met with each student individually to clear up any misunderstanding with the previous night’s lesson.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">During that time, take a look at what they were able to accomplish!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;"><img src="https://cdn-images.postach.io/86adc4bd-921a-437c-8a8e-9413291bdd54/81509a40-0452-4517-af28-28549dd9ce63/c55e79f4-cbc8-479d-94e1-984af721025e.png" /><br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;"><img src="https://cdn-images.postach.io/86adc4bd-921a-437c-8a8e-9413291bdd54/81509a40-0452-4517-af28-28549dd9ce63/51d262c5-47c9-40ae-9293-07e63a1aa759.png" /><br /></div><hr /><div style="text-align: center;"><img src="https://cdn-images.postach.io/86adc4bd-921a-437c-8a8e-9413291bdd54/81509a40-0452-4517-af28-28549dd9ce63/fc68ee93-0ca6-45b3-af7f-275336efceb3.png" /><br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;"><img src="https://cdn-images.postach.io/86adc4bd-921a-437c-8a8e-9413291bdd54/81509a40-0452-4517-af28-28549dd9ce63/4db6c0d8-35d7-436c-8ebd-6dde42963a49.png" /><br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">In roughly 26 minutes of time practicing, we were able to answer <span style="font-weight: bold;">2,617 questions</span> (an average of 131 per student), and <span style="font-weight: bold;">16 students mastered these skills.</span> This was before we ever had a lesson about prepositions and objects of the prepositions! </div>
<div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">By spending less than 30 minutes of class time today, every student was able to practice one skill at his or her own pace and work towards mastery, so that the next skill we learn about will be much easier to understand. This is how leveraging technology in the classroom helps students learn!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">I love using IXL in the classroom and my students do, too! Just out of curiosity, I ran our <span style="font-weight: bold;">Achievement Summary</span> to see how we’re doing so far as a class this year. As you can see by the report below, we’re making some great progress! I can’t wait to see how we’re able to leverage IXL and other classroom tools this year. Learning is so much fun!</div>

Weekly Memo (August 26-30)https://jcollier.postach.io/post/weekly-memo-august-26-302019-09-13T03:05:29.944000Z2019-08-23T16:26:00ZJordan Collier<div><span style="font-weight: bold;">Establishing Class Rules</span></div>
<div><br /></div>
<div>After a week of learning new routines, this week our class created our list of class rules. It’s important that students feel ownership of our classroom, so their ideas and input drove our discussion.</div>
<div><br /></div>
<div>We began by brainstorming a list of <span style="font-weight: bold;">"all the things good CAC students do to learn."</span> After about 10 minutes, we had a pretty good list (<a href="https://cacmustangs-my.sharepoint.com/:b:/g/personal/jcollier_cacmustangs_org/EVim7zdpBuJAqB_RK85GdIkBjwsIgggwZ2478lLzDLlwLw?e=h7lIMn">click here</a> to view). The list was then sorted to create our three classroom rules. After that, students created posters which are now hanging in our room to help us remember "all the good things CAC students do to learn."</div>
<div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;"><img src="https://cdn-images.postach.io/86adc4bd-921a-437c-8a8e-9413291bdd54/4cce251d-0e03-4cf9-83b9-766b3492e3a4/76bedf59-a204-4037-8126-3942c433889a.png" /><br /></div>

<div style="text-align: center;"><span style="text-align: left;">With our rules set, students brainstormed what it<span style="font-weight: bold;"> </span></span><span style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;">looks like</span></span><span style="text-align: left;"> and what it </span><span style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;">sounds like</span></span><span style="text-align: left;"> to be respectful, responsible, and on task and here’s what we came up with:</span><img src="https://cdn-images.postach.io/86adc4bd-921a-437c-8a8e-9413291bdd54/4cce251d-0e03-4cf9-83b9-766b3492e3a4/32080e71-970b-4e40-abd5-cf9f1d39a849.jpg" style="text-align: left;"/><br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">Students then created posters for our classroom to help us remember what it <span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;">looks like</span> and what it <span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;">sounds like</span> to be respectful, responsible, and on task.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">I was so pleased with our students and their work on our class rules. With these in place, our next step will be to establish the best way to consistently hold everyone accountable to following our class-created rules. We’ll do that next week, and I’m confident the class will work well together to finalize our expectations. With everything in place and everyone having a say in things, it’s going to be an outstanding year.

Weekly Memo (August 19-23)https://jcollier.postach.io/post/weekly-memo-august-19-232019-09-13T03:05:30.353000Z2019-08-16T16:26:00ZJordan Collier<div><span style="font-weight: bold;">What is this IXL thing my kid’s been talking about?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;"><b><img src="https://cdn-images.postach.io/86adc4bd-921a-437c-8a8e-9413291bdd54/608bd230-c4a1-4895-abac-b4a8a0d3c107/7c2b151d-b511-43ae-a379-6019c851bef5.png" /><br /></b></div>
<div><br /></div>
<div>We had a great first week, and although the learning curve is steep for me, the kids have been so helpful and patient (like the time I didn’t take my keys to chapel so we couldn’t go upstairs and had to wait for another adult with keys to let us through). </div>
<div><br /></div>
<div>I’m also learning how to pace our lessons to make sure we cover our instructional material while also making sure each student is on track. In a class of twenty-one students, you might imagine that is both extremely important and challenging. Before we move too fast through material, I’ll err on the side of going slowly and making sure we’re all on track.</div>
<div><br /></div>
<div>One way we’ll be doing that this year is through <a href="https://ixl.com/signin/centralarkansas">IXL</a> (if your child hasn’t mentioned it, it would be good to ask about). As it’s a new program for both me and our students, we’re still learning how we’ll best use it in class, but I already love what I’m seeing. Yesterday, we started our first math lesson (number sequencing) and I assigned students to practice those types of problems on IXL and gave them some time to work. The results were astounding! Below are a few reports (student names are not included).</div>

<div><br /></div>
<div>Data like this will be really helpful for me as I work with my students to help them master all the skills they need to be successful in 5th grade and prepare them for next year. As I learn more about the program and students begin to feel more comfortable with it, there’s no telling what we’ll be able to do! As we practice more and gather more data, I can’t wait to share individual reports with you so we can all see the growth from the year.</div>

Weekly Memo (Summer Edition)https://jcollier.postach.io/post/weekly-memo-summer-edition2019-09-13T03:05:25.359000Z2019-07-09T17:10:00ZJordan Collier<div>In just four weeks, we’ll kickoff the 2019-2020 school year— and I can’t wait! After serving in an administrative role at the secondary campus for the past six years, I’m excited to return to the classroom for a year as I prepare to transition to the principal role at the North Little Rock CAC Elementary campus</div>
<div><br /></div>
<div>As I’m transitioning roles, this has been a busy summer! In addition to wrapping up things on Mustang Mountain, I’ve also been preparing for next year. I’m in the process of adding the necessary 4th-8th grade teacher certification endorsements and have taken four of my Praxis exams. I’ve spent quite a bit of time reviewing the 5th grade curriculum and beginning to map out the school year, and <span style="-en-paragraph:true;">as I think about managing an elementary classroom, </span>I’ve had fun re-reading books like <span style="font-style: italic;">Essential 55 </span>(by Ron Clark)<span style="font-style: italic;">, Tools for Teaching </span>(by Fred Jones)<span style="font-style: italic;">,</span> <span style="font-style: italic;">Cooperative Learning </span>(by Dr. Spencer Kagan), and <span style="font-style: italic;">The First Day of School</span> (by Harry Wong).</div>
<div><br /></div>
<div>Honestly, though, the most beneficial book I’ve read this summer is one my kids picked out for me:</div>
<div style="text-align: center; "><img src="https://cdn-images.postach.io/86adc4bd-921a-437c-8a8e-9413291bdd54/24dae628-e6e0-4bb5-a20c-8915d24996a3/f8ef422f-17ff-4f1b-9b02-55e6403cdc6a.jpg" title="Tap to Download"/><br /></div>
<div><br /></div>
<div>Even though this will be my first year to teach 5th grade, I’m confident the ten years I spent in the classroom teaching 8th and 9th grade English prior to being a administrator will certainly help. Don’t get me wrong— I still have a lot to learn, but I’m looking forward to it! I know I’ll do some things right and I know I’ll mess up, too. I just ask that you be patient with me as I learn. If there are times that you have concerns, I hope you’ll feel comfortable reaching out to me and letting me know. I’ll do my best to communicate as much as I can so you know what’s going on in class and how your child is doing.</div>
<div><br /></div>
<div>One way I’ll keep you informed is through a weekly memo. A link will be emailed each week and it <a href="https://jcollier.postach.io/">can also be found here</a>. The template of the memo (while subject to change) <a href="https://jcollier.postach.io/post/monday-memo-template">can be found here</a>. If you can think of other information that would be helpful to include on the weekly memo, share it with me and I’ll consider adding it.</div>
<div><br /></div>
<div>In addition to the weekly memo, I also created a <a href="https://jcollier.postach.io/post/classroom-resources">Classroom Resource Page</a>. I’ve added some helpful resources already (the supply list and the textbooks we’ll be using), and I’ll continue to update the page as we progress through the year. A link to the resource page will always be at the bottom of the weekly memo.</div>
<div><br /></div>
<div>There are so many other things I could share with you, but I’ll wrap this up for now. </div>
<div><br /></div>
<div>I hope you have a great four weeks of summer! </div>
<div><br /></div>
<div><br /></div>
<div>Sincerely,</div>
<div><br /></div>

<div><span style="color: rgb(255, 38, 0); font-style: italic;">(This will be posted the first week of school after discussing with students.)</span></div>
<div><br/></div><hr/><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Class Work</span></div><ul><li><div style="text-align: left;">Students will be expected to work on class work during class time. Work not completed during the school day should be completed that night as homework.</div></li><li><div style="text-align: left;">Homework, when assigned, should be completed by the student. Having a parent work with and help the student is encouraged; having a parent do the work for the student is not encouraged.</div></li><li><div style="text-align: left;">Late work will not be assigned full credit.</div></li><li><div style="text-align: left;">If a student is absent, the school handbook states that the student has one day for every day missed to complete the work. Work turned in after that time will be considered late.</div></li></ul><div><br/></div><hr/><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Conduct Grade</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">Our goal is to help students cultivate good habits that will be a blessing to their lives. We believe that learning personal responsibility and accountability will prepare your child to be successful for years to come. The conduct book is used as a tool to help us record and calculate a conduct grade for the week in the classroom. Students sign the conduct book for the following reasons:</div><ul><li><div style="text-align: left;">Not following classroom rules and/or procedures</div></li><li><div style="text-align: left;">Not following school policies</div></li></ul><div style="text-align: left;"><br/></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">The conduct grade is calculated in the following way:</div><ul><li><div style="text-align: left;">Each student will start the week with 100 points in Conduct.</div></li><li><div style="text-align: left;">1st Signing— 6 points deducted</div></li><li><div style="text-align: left;">2nd Signing— Additional 6 points deducted (12 total)</div></li><li><div style="text-align: left;">3rd Signing and beyond— 10 points deduced for each (22+ total)</div></li></ul><div><br/></div><hr/><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Curriculum Overview</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;"><br/></div>
<div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Bible: </span>Students will work through a chronological survey of the major Old Testament events. Through discussion, writing, and study, we hope to grow in our knowledge of God.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;"><br/></div>
<div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Math: </span><span style="font-weight: bold;"> </span>Saxon Math divides each lesson into small, easy-to-grasp concepts. A new increment is presented each day and students work only a few problems involving the new material. The remaining work is practicing previously-taught concepts. We hope for our students to increase in their knowledge of mathematics and develop problem-solving skills.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;"><br/></div>
<div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Social Studies:</span> The Social Studies curriculum, <span style="font-style: italic;">Studies Weekly</span>, will guide students to recognize God as the creator of the universe, as active in history, and as the source of its ultimate direction. Students will study exploration of the New World and continue through the 1880s.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;"><br/></div>
<div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Science:</span> Using a hands-on approach, students will explore concepts of Life Science, Earth Science, and Physical Science. The curriculum used will be FOSS Next Generation as well as MacMillan McGraw-Hill. Students will required to enter the Science Fair in the spring.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;"><br/></div>
<div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Reading/Writing:</span> Through the use of the Houghton/Mifflin/Harcourt’s <span style="font-style: italic;">Journeys</span> curriculum, class novel studies, and supplemental texts, students will be inspired to develop listening, speaking, reading, writing, and critical thinking skills that will serve them throughout life.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;"><br/></div>
<div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Spelling:</span> <span style="font-style: italic;">Everyday Spelling</span> is used to sharpen students’ spelling skills. Spelling lists are given at the beginning of each week. Spelling tests will be given on Fridays.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;"><br/></div>
<div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">English/Grammar:</span> Using the <span style="font-style: italic;">Voyages</span> curriculum, students will refine their writing skills to become more effective communicators.</div>
