Hello!
*Our BEST news this week is that we welcomed a new 3rd grade home-school student, Nara, to our classroom this week! We have had so much fun getting to you know you! Welcome, Nara!
*We had a lot of fun at the Walk-A-Thon last week! In fact, our class calculated a total of 172
laps a whole! Goodness—I am SO proud!
You can still donate up until October 10th:

*Donuts with Dad is this coming up Wednesday, October 9th,
from 7:45-8:15. This is a special day
for dads or another special person to join us before school for some breakfast
and fun. Hope you can come!
*We do not have school next Thursday and Friday, October 10th
and 11th, because teachers will be away at a conference (LEA) in St.
Louis. Please pray for our safe
travel. Thank you!
*We will have our School of Economics field trip on Tuesday,
October 16th, and we will need some helpers—drivers AND people that
will stay and work/monitor students.

October 31st. Thank you for
understanding…
Here is what we have been up to this week:
Religion- We have learned the story of Moses, the 10
Plagues, and the Exodus out of Egypt. We
watched pieces of the movie, “The Prince of Egypt,” and contrasted and compared
it to the Bible story. Today, the
students shared some personal stories about times that they knew that God was
with them, or times that they knew God sent someone special to protect
them. These were such inspiring stories! I am amazed daily at the faith of your
children. Thank you for sharing them
with me…
Next week’s Memory:
10/8- Amazing grace, how sweet the sound that saved a wretch
like me, I once was lost but now am
found, was blind but now I see.
Language Arts- This week, third graders read the
short biography, “Roberto Clemente.”
This was such an interesting, emotional, and fact-filled story. Fourth graders read the play, “Tales of a
Fourth Grade Nothing,” based on Chapter
2 of the book. They have been practicing
the skit like crazy, and are going to perform it for the second graders and
third graders next Wednesday. J
We will not have spelling
words next week!
Math- Third graders worked on estimating and adding
whole numbers with regrouping. Fourth
graders worked on adding, subtracting, and estimating whole numbers up to the ten
thousand. Please keep working on facts
at home!
School of Economics-This week, we found out our jobs
and met with shops. We competed passports,
worked on signs, and today we filled out loan applications. Next
week, we will price our items in hopes to pay off our loans that day that we
visit! As you read above, we will need
helpers that day! Please read the
Sign-Up for more details. Please also send
in $5.00 for your child. This day will
be such a day of learning and fun. We
are so excited to attend, and are so thankful that our PTL is helping us out!
SPECIAL CLASSES
Art- We finished painting out our “I AM…”
pictures. We also made woven paper
pumpkins. These are brightening up our
hallway down here in the 3rd/4th Grade Land! ;)
Computer Lab and Writers’ Workshop- We continued
writing personal narratives and publishing these in Computer Lab.
P.E.- We played Pin Dodgeball and Dr. Dodgeball this
week!
Have a wonderful weekend!
Blessings,
Kim
Our hero this week!
