 Here is what we have been up to this week:

Religion- This week, we talked about what the church is—not the place, but the PEOPLE of God.  We discussed how we are connected to all believers that have ever lived.  It was such an inspiring conversation!  We also began learning about Martin Luther and his impact on the Christian church as it is today.  We will be studying Reformation for the next few weeks. 

Next week’s Memory:

9/29-

Hebrews

James

1 & 2 Peter

1 , 2, & 3 John

Jude

Revelation

 10/2-Recite all of the New Testament Books

 Language Arts- This week, the 3^rd graders learned read a biography all about Roberto Clemente.  This was such a great story, especially for our many baseball lovers that we have in class!  Roberto’s life was such an inspiration and the kids loved one of his quotes: 

The 4^th graders read a fun fractured fairy tale called, “Once Upon a Cool Motorcycle Dude.”  It was one of those stories that was a blast to read, and really just gets kids on fire for reading!  They loved it!  I also found two other stories written by Kevin O’Malley that I shared with the class today!
