4th Grade News!

Hello, Parents!  Happy Friday!  Happy Snow Day?!?!   Thanks for going with the flow with everything!  It has been busy, busy around here the last few weeks--National Lutheran Schools Week, a Snow Days, and the 7/8 tournament!  We have been having a lot of fun and learning a ton!

Upcoming Events:
*Tonight and tomorrow:  We are hosting the KCLAL tournament this weekend.  I have attached the schedule if you want to come and cheer on the Rams!  In a nutshell:  The girls play tonight at 6:00 and the boys play tomorrow at 2:00.
*The tests that we missed today—spelling, reading, Missouri History—these will be taken on Monday.  Thank you!
*Student-Led Parent/Teacher conferences are coming up next week, on February 14th and 15th.  We dismiss at 1:00 both days.  I am a youth counselor for Timothy’s middle schoolers and am attending their Youth Quake trip that weekend.   We leave at 4:00 on the 15th, so I will be able to meet all afternoon/evening on the 14th, and for just a few hours on the 15th.  If you need another afternoon or evening, please let me know!

*Valentine's Day is Thursday!  Students can bring valentines to share, (please send one for everyone!) and we will have a little celebration in here! 

What we have been learning:
Religion-This week we have been learning about Jonah!  God asked him repeatedly to go to Ninevah, and Jonah thought he could hide from God.  We discussed how we, too, try to hide things from our Heavenly Father, but He knows, and he always has a plan for us.
Memory for next week-
February 12- Say the entire Evening Prayer.
February 15-In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of his grace, which he lavished upon us, in all wisdom and insight. ~Ephesians 1:7-8
Reading- We shared our oral book reports this week!  The kiddos did a great job!  This week, we also read the story, "I Can Do That!", the true story of Esther Morris and her independent, strong-willed attitude that helped end women's suffrage in the state of Wyoming.  We had some interesting conversations in class about equality, etc.  I think the students learned quite a bit! 

Spelling Words for Friday, February 15th: (Reading Story: “The Screech Owl Who Likes Television”
somebody, fireplace, nearby, toothbrush, homesick, make-believe, anything, all right, goodbye, forehead, classmate, flashlight, haircut, twenty-two, driveway, alarm clock, baby-sit, airport, forever, mailbox, field trip, absent-minded, *nevertheless

Social Studies/Science-
We finished up Chapter 2 in our Missouri History books and tested over it today!  Next week, we will begin the next unit in Science.  Mrs. Stack visited this week and the kids ready to go on their experiments!  Please make sure they finish their packet before putting anything on their boards that they brought home.  More details can be found here:  Thanks!
