Hello, Parents! We have had a wonderful week of school! Thank you so much for your birthday gifts and treats. They children have made me feel so loved! They were so sweet with their cards and kind words. Today we had fun remembering Mrs. Vogt’s birthday as well!
In Religion this week we discussed Jacob. We learned about how God took care of him when he fled from home, after tricking his father and Esau. We learned about how he spent the next years of his life, how he married, and ultimately how he returned home and received Esau’s forgiveness.
Next week, we will begin our Reformation unit and learn all about the life of Martin Luther.
In Math, third graders are discussing adding larger numbers and how to work word problems. Fourth graders learned the difference between expressions and equations. Today they learned how to balance equations and how to solve problems with variables.
In Language Arts this week, we learned about run-on sentences and how to correct these, as
well as how to write good, quality sentences. We are getting very good at correcting D.O.L. sentences! In Reading, we read some neat stories! The third graders read a story called Max’s Words, which was about a boy who collected words. The fourth graders read a story called Once Upon a Motorcycle Dude, which was a humorous fairy tale, that really shoed the power of writing! We will not have spelling or reading/vocabulary tests next week, as we have a super-short school week!
In Music this week we practiced our song that we are going to sing in church this Sunday, October 9th. Please meet in the Music Room at the North Site at 8:50. We sing at the beginning of the 9:15 and 11:00 services. Thank you! We sound so beautiful!
In P.E. we continued to play different versions of dodge ball this week outdoors. We learned how to play Bombardment and Poisonball! They were so much fun!
In Art this week, we made woven pumpkins and painted a fall still life. We used viewfinders to find which part of the still life we wanted to concentrate on. These will be brightening up the hallway soon!
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. This week our own Cady Smith was part of the winning Chapel family that raised the most money for this cause. She was able to enjoy a catered lunch by the teachers. Our new project this month is to collect gift cards for Joplin, from places that they need supplies from. Your child has been asked to pray about what he or she might want to give, and to bring these in this month. Thank you for your help!
Have a wonderful weekend!
Mrs. Myers
