Happy Friday, 3rd and 4th grade parents! It has been a pleasure meeting with each of
you these last two days. We are all so
blessed to be a part of this Timothy family…
Here is what we have learned this week:
Religion- Along with our lessons, we have had some
great discussions this week about being honest, not spreading gossip, and
lifting one another up in love. It was
refreshing to hear the kiddos share personal experiences with these things, and
even share some of their own transgressions and ask for forgiveness… These are the times that God makes it clear
to me that He is here with us and showing us the way to Him. The verse we focused on was 1 Peter 4:8: “Above all, keep loving one another
earnestly, since love covers a multitude of sins.”
Next week, we will be discussing the events of Holy
Week.
Memory for next week:
3/30-Fair is the sunshine,
Fair is the moonlight,
Bright the sparkling stars on high;
Jesus shines brighter,
Jesus shines purer,
Than all the angels in the sky.
Here is a great YouTube version of this hymn, if you’d like
to practice that way: https://youtu.be/kSkLFZn8RGg
Language Arts- Both groups read and learned about
trees this week, so it connected well with what we are learning in Science as
well! 3rd graders read, “A
Tree is Growing,” and 4th
graders read “The Ever-Living Tree.” We
discussed adverbs this week and learned cursive capital Z. Next week, we will have a whole-class
literature study of Roald Dahl’s book, “Esio Trot.” We will only have 10 spelling words and a
challenge word.
Spelling words for Thursday, April 1st—from
the book, “Esio Trot,” by Roald Dahl (both grades)—envy, basking, halt,
embrace, jutted, reckon, slice, gazing, enlarge, gentle, *bewildered
Math- Third graders have been working with
multiplying and dividing by 11 and 12, and working with multi-step word
problems. Fourth graders worked with
input/output charts, order of operations, and using variables.
*In the afternoons this week, we were preparing for our
conferences, so we did not accomplish much for Science and Social Studies, but
we will dive head first back into them next week!
Specials-
Art- We created coffee filter butterflies and painted
flowers in the style of Georgia O’Keefe.
These are decorating our classroom for Spring!
P.E.-We competed in an obstacle course in the
gym—somersaulting, hopscotching, jump roping, weaving, and sprinting!
Music-We are practicing songs for the Spring Musical,
and the kiddos sound wonderful!
Have a blessed weekend,
Kim
We celebrated another birthday this week!
