Hello, Parents! We have a great week of school…It is hard to believe that October is right around the corner… We did a wonderful job at Chapel this week with our skit about the Belt of Truth! You have such talented children!
In Religion this week we talked about Isaac and how God had a special plan for him, with his wife Rebekah. We discussed how God intends for us to choose friends, who have faith in Him, and make kind and wise choices. We also talked about families and marriage, and how the sins of greed, slander, hatred, and adultery, can rip families apart. God tells us in the Bible to focus on forgiveness and love!
In Math, third graders are learning the addition properties, how to find missing addends, and how to estimate and round. Today we learned how to add numbers in our heads to find the estimations. Fourth graders tested over the skills of estimating sums and differences, and subtracting across zeroes. They did well! J Next week they will begin learning about algebraic expressions.
In Language Arts this week, we reviewed subjects and predicates, and dividing sentences into these parts. We concentrated on verb usage, and found these in sentences. We also learned some new vocabulary and stories. Third grade read a story about the amazing baseball player Roberto Clemente. If you did not hear your third grader read this story, make sure you take some time to read it. It is great! It is amazing how much we can learn from children’s literature! The fourth graders read a story called Stormalong. This was a tall tale written by the author of The Magic Tree House series that talked about an amazing, giant sailor! It was fun to read!
In Music this week we practiced rhythm again with the song “Miss Mary Mack.” We also practiced our song that we are going to sing in church on October 9th. We sound sooo beautiful!
In P.E. we played different versions of dodgeball. On Tuesday we played Pin Dodgeball and on Thursday we learned how to play Doctor Dodgeball. There has been such a backlash in previous years about dodgeball, but we have learned how to play it safely, with skill and strategy. All of the kids are having a great time, and it is fun to see them planning with friends how to win the game. We will learn some different versions next week!
In Art this week, we worked on Fall/Halloween pictures. We watercolored the background of our picture by wetting our papers and letting the colors run and mix together. Today we added scenery with construction. They are very cool, and spooky!
We started Science this week! We began reading and learning about parts of plant and
animal cells. We will be doing several experiments with next week that will help all of this sink in! Your child will be bringing home index cards with vocabulary words on them next week. Please help them review these words as we go through the unit. This will help them during the chapter tests. Thank you.
Please Remember: Our Mission Project this year is to raise money to help Martin Luther School in Joplin, MO. This money will go toward their financial aide. Your child has been asked to pray about what he or she might want to give, and to bring these coins in on Wednesdays. Thanks!
Have a blessed weekend!
Yours in Christ,

Newsletter from the Week of September 23rd!
Hello, Parents! This week flew by for all of us! Wow! We have been busy this week learning and creating!
We lead Chapel next Wednesday, September 28th. We will be doing several skits that talk about the Belt of Truth. This is part of yearlong series about wearing the Armor of God! Please come and join us if you can!
In Religion this week we talked about Abraham, Sarah, and Lot. We talked about the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah, and the sin that was prevalent there. We talked about the sin that is in our world, and how often we are intrigued by it and drawn to it. We need to rely on God and His infinite wisdom to know the difference between right and wrong. God is always beside us, leading us in the right direction!
In Math, third grade is learning how to round! This week we learned how to round to the nearest ten, hundred, and thousand. This took some practice, but our light bulbs popped on this week! J We reviewed yesterday and tested over the concept today. Fourth graders are learning how estimate and how to add and subtract 4-digit numbers, and subtract across the zeroes with borrowing. This is review from last year, with harder problems. We will complete this chapter next week.
In Social Studies this week, e made Missouri books. We will be filling these in with all of the facts about Missouri that we can come up with. We received some neat materials from the capital, and have been learning so many new things. Next week, we begin science!
In Language Arts this week, we learned about subjects and predicates, and dividing sentences into these parts. We concentrated on verb usage, and found these in sentences. We also learned some new vocabulary and stories. Third grade read a story about the building of the Golden Gate Bridge, entitled My Pop’s Bridge and the fourth graders read a play called The Power of W.O.W.! This was a play about saving a library on wheels and they put it on for the 3rd graders and for me today! We have a classroom of quite a few little actors and actresses! It was great!
In Music this week we practiced rhythm! We used rhythm sticks to find the rhythm in fun music and we also practiced our song that we are going to sing in church on September 9th. We are definitely a singing class…we enjoy it so much!
In P.E. this week we reviewed body movements such as skipping, hopping, jumping, galloping, jogging, crawling, crab-walking, spinning, and other fun movements. On Tuesday, we used these skills to play Road Race and yesterday, we used these skills to play a fun version of PacMan!
Art this was an extension of last week, as we painted our monsters from Where the Wild Things Are with different values of one primary color. Once these amazing creatures are dry, we will cut these out and add them to our jungle-themed room! Pretty cool!
Please Remember: Our Mission Project this year is to raise money to help Martin Luther School in Joplin, MO. This money will go toward their financial aide. Your child has been asked to pray about what he or she might want to give, and to bring these coins in on Wednesdays. Thanks!

The Newsletter from September 16th!
Who's the King of the Jungle? J-E-S-U-S!
Hello, Parents! We have had another enjoyable week. Your children are working so hard, and I am proud of their efforts. This week we focused a lot on our friendships…how to support and uplift one another. These children are great at that, and my prayer is that it will just become a habit, and they will focus on treating one another as Brothers and Sisters in Christ. (We sang that song in Chapel this week! ) We began the week by reviewing September 11, 2001, and writing prayers and remembrances in a book. It is beautiful and will be on display at teacher conferences for you to view. In Religion this week we discussed the stories of Abram and Sarai (Abraham and Sarah) and talked about God’s covenant with Abram. We were inspired by his great faith, and discussed situations where we needed to put our trust in the Heavenly Father, instead of what we may have thought to be best. We also retraced Abram’s journey from Hebron to Canaan, and learned about his voyage there.
In Math this week third graders worked with comparing and ordering numbers in the ten and hundred thousands, and they also worked with rounding numbers to the nearest ten and hundred. This will take some more practice before we are experts! Any practice you can do on this skill at home would be beneficial. We will finish up this unit next week. Fourth graders took their test over comparing and ordering numbers today and did very well. They will begin their chapter on estimating and adding and subtracting larger numbers next week. Zooming right along!
In Social Studies we learned about the plants, animals, and people of Missouri. We finished
reading this chapter, and completed the review on Thursday. We will have a test over this on Monday. Students will bring home their vocabulary cards to study. If they are familiar with these terms, they will do just fine! We will begin our first Science unit next week.
In Language Arts this week, third and fourth graders read the stories Destiny’s Gift and How Tia Lola Came to Stay, respectively. These were both great stories about friendship and giving. The kids really enjoyed these and the vocabulary words accompanying them. In English, we reviewed the parts of a sentence and learned how to use periods, question marks, and exclamation marks effectively. We reviewed what commands were. Next week, we will focus on subjects, predicates, and good handwriting! The students also had to correct papers with editing symbols again this week. This will be a weekly lesson, and they are slowly getting better! If you see that your child needs more practice with this skill, please let me know, and I can send home extra work to practice. This will be a skill that is needed later in their writing, as the mature.
In Music this week we had a lot of fun! On Tuesday, we practiced the song that we will be singing in church on September 9th. We also learned some other new songs with Mrs. Mundt and her guitar. She is so talented! On Thursday, we went over music notes, learned about beat, and practiced our singing the notes in our song.
In P.E. we finished up our unit in volleyball yesterday with a scrimmage! The children are getting better at their serving, passing, and setting, but most of all, with their good sportsmanship.
Art this week was fun! We began by reading the story Where the Wild Things Are and listened to a poem entitled, “One Summer Night.” These helped imagine silly, goofy monsters, and the ways our mind plays tricks on us when we are tired or see things in the dark. We then created our own silly monsters on paper. Next week we will paint these using different shades of one color…and then we will add them to our jungle…because, as we all know THIS is where the Wild Things Are!
Please remember that we still need volunteers to help clean tables at the Fall Fun Fest. Your help appreciated. Our school receives payment for this service. Thank you!
Our Mission Project this year is to raise money to help Martin Luther School in Joplin, MO. This money will go toward their financial aide. Your child has been asked to pray about what he or she might want to give, and to bring these coins in on Wednesdays. Thanks!
Have a blessed weekend!

Newsletter From the Week of September 9th!
Who's the King of the Jungle? J-E-S-U-S
Hello, Parents! We have had an amazing and fun week! I hope you enjoyed the day off with your families! We have been busy this week learning and creating…and having a great time!
In Religion this week we continued to talk about the story of Noah’s Ark. We read Bible verses that talked about God’s Blessings and gifts. We learned the word “covenant” and talked about the different kinds of covenants we make with one another. We especially are thankful for our amazing God’s covenants with us: If we believe in Him, we will be able to join him in heaven someday. He also promised that He will always be with us! What amazing covenants!
In Math this week both grades worked with comparing and ordering numbers. Third graders finished learned about 5 and 6 digit numbers and took their first math test today! They did well! The fourth graders continue to learn about larger numbers and placing them in order, and finding the value of certain digits. I have heard several comments about how 4th grade math is harder than last year! It is…but they are doing SO well!
In Social Studies we are continuing to learn about Missouri! This week we discussed the different regions of Missouri: the Glacial Plains, the Western Plains, the Ozark Highlands, and the Southeast Lowlands. Today we also discussed the climate of Missouri and the animals that are native to our region. We are learning so much! There is a lot of vocabulary for this unit, so be on the lookout of a review sheet to come home!
In Language Arts this week, we have been having some fun and learning new words! Be sure to look for reading and spelling tests to come home today! The children are doing so well! Spelling words incorporated long and short vowel l sounds, so we have spent some time reviewing those. This week the third graders read a story that introduced us to a courtroom setting. It was entitled The Trial of Cardigan Jones. It was so interesting! The fourth graders read My Brother Martin, and we had some wonderful conversations about this story! It was written by MLK’s sister, and it was a neat tribute to him! In English this week, we talked about what makes a sentence and practiced making some on our own. In Writers’ Workshop, the children had fun taking story parts and combining them to make silly stories! You will have to ask them about their creations! Many asked me for the website to this fun “game” we played so they could write more stories at home. How could I resist?! It’s http://teacher.scholastic.com/activities/storystarters/storystarter1.htm. Very cool! There have been some questions about the book log, so I will try to answer them and keep you up to speed! Please record any books that your child reads at home, from school, the library, or the local library, on his or her book log. If it has a Scholastic quiz that goes with it, your child can take that quiz here at school or at home. You just need to record that on the sheet so I am aware. I am asking that your child read 5 books a quarter on his or her reading level. If you are uncertain what the level is or if the book has a quiz, you can have her bring it in, or you can check this website. :http://bookwizard.scholastic.com/
Thank you!
In Music this week we had a lot of fun! Every Tuesday, we join the 3rd/4th graders for choir. On Thursdays we meet as a class with Mrs. Mundt. During this time, we will learn music concepts, about the church year, and experiment with different instruments. We will also learn new songs and enjoy fun Bible action songs. This week we sang “Your Love Makes Me Sing,” “Yes, Lord!’” How Great Is Our God,” “My God is So Great,” The Butterfly Song,” “J is for Jesus,” and “You Put This Love in My Heart.” Fun!
In P.E. we are continuing to learn about volleyball skills. This week we talked about tipping, dinking, and passing the ball. We played several scrimmage games and learned how to have good sportsmanship and communication skills.
Art this week was fun! We created Animal Designs where we learned how to make an entire composition using only lines…curvy, thick, thin, straight, short, long, etc. The patterns are so beautiful! Be on the lookout for these in the hallway!
Next Week we will remember 9/11 and briefly talk about the history associated with that day in history. I have some neat stories and Bible verses to share regarding it.
Please remember that we still need volunteers to help clean tables at the Fall Fun Fest. Your help appreciated. Our school receives payment for this service. Thank you!

Newsletter from the Week of September 2nd!
Dear Parents,
We have had a super first full week of school! All of the students are working hard and giving school their best efforts. I am so very proud of them!
This week in Religion, we talked about Noah, the great Flood, and God’s covenant with Noah and with us. We were reminded that God loves us very much and is always by our side.
In Math this week, both groups are working with place value and determining what each digit is worth in a number, as well as how to write numbers in standard, word, and expanded forms. Third graders are working with numbers up to the ten-thousands, and fourth graders are working with numbers up to the hundred-millions. We have been taking mad minutes daily, and all students are working hard to pass them, and achieve mastery in memorizing their math facts. We are also getting really talented at solving our Problem Solvers too...word problems! They are fun and entertaining!
In Reading this week, both grades worked on the skill of dividing a story into characters, plots, problems, and solutions. We also learned many new vocabulary words! We used these skills when we began Writers' Workshop this week! We are using the entire writing process—planning, drafting, revising, editing, and publishing, and learning a great deal! Once a story is published, it will be coming home to you, after being shared in the classroom library for awhile. After all, we all are budding authors!
We checked out our book reports on Monday. Third graders picked out mysteries, and fourth graders chose Newbery Award winners. Please make sure your child is reading his or her book report book at home. They could also be filling in their reading logs, as these books are Scholastic Reading books, as well.
On that note, I will be asking that each child finish 5 Scholastic quizzes a quarter. These books can be chapter books, or picture books on his or her reading level. This will be part of your child's reading grade, so I will help remind him or her to keep reading. Please do the same at home. The books are available in the classroom, as well as in the library. Thank you for your help!
The students took their first Social Studies test this week and did well! We have finished our first chapter about Missouri history. Thank you for helping your child fill in the oral history form. We learned so many interesting things about Missouri, just from those interviews! We have now begun to talk about the location of Missouri and the many landforms that we have here. We have talked about hemispheres, continents, countries, and now our state. We will finish up Chapter 2 nest week. The students will do well on the tests if they pay attention in class and are familiar with the vocabulary. I will always send home the words to review. Thank you!
This was the first week for Specials Classes! We had a lot of fun...but, boy, are Tuesday and Thursday afternoons busy, as we jump from one Special to another! In Art this week, we reviewed the primary, secondary, and tertiary colors, and then made color wheels. We also talked about what a horizon is, and drew pictures with horizons, rivers or roads, and houses, trees, and other things. We then added colors in the style of Impressionistic art. We finished these up today and then are so beautiful! We will need egg cartons in a couple of weeks of art. If you remember, please send in any that you may have. Thank you!
In P.E., we are learning volleyball skills, such as passing, serving, and how to play the game. We will continue this for the next couple of weeks, and will eventually play a game and keep score!
The students have Music with Mrs. Mundt, and she was so excited to hear their voices again! She had really missed singing praises every week with the kids! The student enjoyed singing a few favorites- “Here I Am to Worship”, “Big House”, “I Will Follow”, and “Allelu, Alleluia”. They are learning a few new songs, “You Put This Love In My Heart” & “You Are Holy”. Both are songs with parts. They are learning quickly! The 3rd and 4th graders are wonderful leaders!
The students also enjoyed going to Spanish class this week, and Computer Lab, where they will be practicing their skills on the program “Type to Learn. “
Reminders:
*Yearbooks available: If you did not purchase a yearbook for your child at the end of last school year, you have a new opportunity! We will be handing out and signing yearbooks after chapel on September 7th. If you would like to purchase a yearbook by this date, the cost is $13. Please talk with Mrs. Barber or Mrs. Warren.
*Our Mission Project this year is to raise money to help Martin Luther School in Joplin, MO. This money will go toward their financial aide. Your child has been asked to pray about what he or she might want to give, and to bring these coins in on Wednesdays. Thanks!
Thank you for all of your support already this school year! I am excited about this partnership with you…
Have a super weekend! God’s Blessings!
