Wednesday, May 22, 2013

Happy last full day of school! 89 days and 17 hours till school starts! Thanks for all of your support of the course of the year! Feel free to drop in and say hi next year! Remember to keep you child's brain engaged over summer, it helps keep them stay sharp for next school year.

Today we wrapped our brains around the galaxy. Amazing how much God created out in the universe for us. 45 Trillion or so stars just in our neighborhood! We also checked out some of the animals of Australia, there was a lot of "Awwww" heard in the room. We also spent some time hearing about the tornado in the mid west. Then we got to hand in books! The year sure has flown.

Thanks again,

Mr. Rosenthal

Got what I could with no flash. Enjoy!
SOFTBALL UNIFORMS ARE DUE!

We had a good trip today. The students behaved very well today. I was quite proud of them. The parents on the other hand . . . .

Monday, May 20, 2013

The field trip is TOMORROW! Please help your student remember to bring a lunch. There will be no coolers so please pack accordingly. We will leave after devotion and Lord willing be back by 3:00.

Today we had a great time watching the 4th grade do their play. They did a great job and I am not just saying that because there was a Rosenthal in it!

Since we had a longish study period after geo and science, and we took a math test, your student shouldn't have much, if any, homework tonight. Enjoy!

Today we talked about the passive voice of verbs. You use the passive voice to move the emphasis off of who did the action and onto what received the action. Normally, we don't use the passive tense but it can be useful when we don't know who did the action, or it is not important.

For example:

Today the passive voice of verbs was talked about.

Welcome to Monday. We continued our study of Galatians today and heard more about how salvation comes through Jesus and not by following the law. We also looked at comets and learned the difference between a meteoroid, a meteor, and a meteorite. It's all about location, location, location. We are learning a little about Shakespeare's Much Ado About Nothing, and how to rearrange formulas to solve for a different part of the formula. We had a very long question period for math and several studetns made good use of it.

Happy Friday! Thanks for all the great teacher gifts this week, and the lunch today! A special thanks to Mrs. Bilitz for taking the class while the faculty went to lunch. We had a nice lunch.  Yesterday we worked on Galatians some more. We are not justified by following the law, only by the grace of God. "20 I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I now live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me." What a great reminder. Today we took our math test. Our grades were all over the board. We even had 2 A+'s Way to go! In science we looked at the outer planets. We also snuck ahead a bit and looked at why Pluto is no longer a planet. If you are interested, check out the video Why Pluto isn't a planet.

Good evening! Did you know that we got to visit the inner planets today? Guess what we are doing tomorrow. If you said discussing the life cycle of a wombat, you are wrong. We worked through a pretest in math today so hopefully we will be ready to go tomorrow for the real thing!

Happy forensics night! God bless. We talked about the moon today and why it has different phases. We also kept plugging away on solving math equations. Choir got nixed so we had an extra 30 min for math questions. It seemed to be very helpful for the class.

We are looking forward to seeing the k-3 musical tomorrow!
