Here is what we have been learning about this week:

Religion- This week, we talked about the beginning of Lent and Ash Wednesday. In Religion class, we have been learning about John the Baptist and when Jesus was tempted by Satan. We talked about temptations, and how the Holy Spirit helps us to overcome these temptations. This led us into a wonderful discussion about repentance, forgiveness, mercy, and grace! It is such a blessing to me to be able to talk about these wonderful gifts every day with my students. :)

Memory for next week-

3/3-From thence He will come to judge the living and the dead.

I believe in the Holy Spirit,

the holy Christian Church,

the communion of saints,

the forgiveness of sins,

the resurrection of the body,

and the life everlasting. Amen.

3/6-Recite the entire Apostle’s Creed.

Language Arts- This week, both groups read about Native Americans. Third graders read a Cherokee Legend called “Yonder Mountain.” The illustrations were amazing! Fourth graders read the true story of “Sacajawea.” This fit right in with what we are discussing in Missouri History. We learned about Lewis and Clark and the Corps of Discovery. Third graders participated in hearing and reading this story as well. We also worked with contractions, and found sentences fragments.

Spelling Words for next Friday, March 6^th:

(This is a whole-class story and spelling words)

From “Invisible Stanley:”
blizzard, invisible, cheerful, lightning, glimpse, peculiar, enormous, reporter, genie, newspaper, *ventriloquist

Math- Third graders worked on multiplying by 6 and 7. Fourth graders are working on patterns, sequencing, and find the rule. As a whole class, we worked on in input and output tables. We also played Connect 4 Math!

Science- Next Friday, March 6th, Mrs. Stack will be coming to visit us and talk about the upcoming Science Fair on May 1st. Be on the lookout for information!

Social Studies-In Current Events, we discussed women’s suffrage, and talked about the right to vote. We debated whether it should be a law that all people vote. It was very interesting to hear the kids’ opinions. In Missouri History, we discussed the globe and how it is divided. We then discussed our continent, country, state, and county in which we live. We are going to learn about the 5 different regions in Missouri.

Art- We read learned about the line of symmetry and complementary colors. We then created beautiful construction papers masterpieces using these skills! Check them out in the hallway!
