classrooms.
Here is what we
have been up to:
In Religion
this week, we have discussed Holy Week—Jesus in the temple, Maundy Thursday,
and Good Friday. We have also been
discussing the power of God’s name, and how we should call upon it ALWAYS. Yesterday, we listened to the song, “Watch
the Lamb” by Ray Boltz. It takes the man
Simon, that was told to carry the cross for Jesus, and extends his character,
and also tells the story of Jesus death on the cross. I did not show the YouTube video that accompanies
the song to the students, because it can be rather graphic, but I promised them
that I would share it with you, in case you wanted to watch/listen as a family.

For Math
this week, both groups worked with fractions!
Third graders tested over equivalent fractions and parts of a
whole. We will begin measurement after Easter
break. Fourth graders have been finding least
common multiples, adding fractions, and working with mixed numbers. They will work with decimals next week. 3rd and 4th grades--Please continue practicing math facts at
home. We have really been focusing on
this at school. We will take our trip to
Winstead’s after school on May 17th to celebrate with skyscraper
sundaes! We will be testing like crazy
for the next 4 weeks!
During Language
Arts/ Writing this week, we learned quite a few new cursive capital
letters, and finished working on our descriptions. These will come home at the end of next week
for you to enjoy too! We will continue
with Reading selections and Spelling words next week.
In Science,
we have begun learning about the life cycles of plants and animals. Next week, we will have a hands-on (with
gloves) study of the parts of the flower, and of pine cones. If you
have any pine cones that you can donate, it would be much appreciated! Thank you!
During Music
and Spanish—We have been practicing our Cinco de Mayo songs and dances! The students sound and look wonderful! One
that we are having some trouble with is:
“He’s Got the Whole World in His Hands”
Here are the
words, if your kiddo can practice at home:
Y todo el mundo
esta en sus manos (the whole world)
(repeat 3 x) Pues todo fue hecho por el.
El tiene el aire
y la lluvia (wind & rain) en sus manos ’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’’
El tiene a todos
los pequenos (all the children) in sus manos “”””””””’
El tien a mis
padres y abuelos (moms & dads, grandpas and grandma) “””””””””””””””
El tiene a toda
su creacion (creation) en sus manos””””””””””
During P.E.,
we are still focusing on Presidential Physical Fitness. This week we worked on the v-sit, and the ½ mile
run. We will still work on this a bit
after break!
During Art, this week, we created Easter crosses for you and for our shut-in friends!
Have a blessed
Easter! I hope you are able to enjoy relaxing
time with family and friends. Please
reach out to someone you know may be alone for this holiday….I am praying for
all of you!
Blessings,
Kim
