Good afternoon! We
have had a great week! Today, our class
even received donuts from Mr. Holland!
(THANK YOU—What a fun way to begin a Friday!) Kamryn and Nolen helped us get this surprise by
doing so well a few weeks ago in our Walk-A-Thon. They had the highest number of laps in the
school (18). Well done, kiddos!
Please look at the bottom of this email for sign-ups for
upcoming field trips, parent/teacher conferences, etc. Thank you so much!
Reminder: Next Friday, October 20th, is the end
of first quarter. (Already?!) Your child may turn in “redone” work up until
Wednesday, October 18th.
Thank you. We also dismiss at
1:00 that day!
Here is what we have been up to:
Religion- We have learned about the people of Israel
and their long journey through the wilderness,, as well as the temptations that
they faced. We correlated that with us
today, and all of the sin we face daily!
We need to turn to God with trust!
Next week, on October 18th, (8:45) we will be
hosting Chapel. We will be sharing a
message about how Jesus is God’s Son.
Please come and join us if you can!
We will practice our skit during Religion class next Monday and
Tuesday.
Operation Christmas Child information came home this
week. There is a collection box by the
office. Let’s fill it up! We are all looking forward to our packing
party on November 13th!
Next week’s memory:
October 17- THE FIRST COMMANDMENT- You shall have no other
gods.
What does this mean?
We should fear, love, and trust in God above all things.
October 20- THE SECOND COMMANDMENT-You shall not misuse the
name of the Lord your God.
Language Arts- This week, we read a story called,
“Dear Mr. Winston.” The story was based
on a girl that made a terrible mistake in the library, and she wrote letters of
apology to her librarian, Mr. Winston.
We talked about friendly letters, about commands, and exclamations, and
about sincere apologies. This was a fun
story to read!
Today we were visited by Myrna Mardis, a member of Blue
Springs Optimist Club. She has been
delivering dictionaries to all 4th grade students in Blue Springs,
and she visited our class today! We are
so excited to have our own personal dictionaries. :) It
has become one of the “rites” into 4th grade!
Spelling Words for the Week of October 20th
from “Stuart Little” by E.B. White
sharp, solemn, streamed, trifle, stooping, terrific, pantry,
substitute, drawn, sill
Challenge Word: *belittling
Math- This week we worked with
multiplication—learning how to relate subtraction and division to it, solving
simple problems, and learning the multiplication properties. Next week, we will dig in further, and start
solving word problems!
Social Studies- We read a Scholastic News (current
events) story about the recent hurricanes and flooding. This led to some great discussions.
Science- We began Science this week! We have talked about the steps to the Scientific Process,
and analyzed exactly what a scientist does.
We reviewed the words: hypothesis,
variable, and experiment.
Art- We made beautiful “zentangle” pumpkins with
lines and vibrant colors! They are
brightening up the hallway…
Writing-We continued writing our fractured fairytale
stories.
P.E.-We are worked on physical fitness by doing
crunches and running a ½ mile. I will
send home your child’s times and results in the next few weeks.
Music- The kids sounded beautifully
last Friday when they sang for a Bible study group at the north site! We are so proud of them! We have been working on recorders and songs
for the Christmas program!

Busy writing in our journals...
