*We have done a FANTASTIC job on our 4th quarter mission project, Lead a Child. Money was collected through today.

We will find out which class won the competition and gets to soak their teacher, SOON!

Here is what we have learned this week:

Religion- This week, we have read the book of Acts and learned about what Jesus’ apostles did after He ascended into heaven. We have related this to what our vocations can be in the future and how we can serve God in any task that we do. We finished up our Religion books today, but will continue to learn about the Acts of the disciples in Religion class. Books are coming home!

Memory for next week: (Just ONE more!---A review of our verse of the year.)

5/7-“The Son of Man came not to be served, but to serve, and to give His life as a ransom for many.” ~Matthew 20:28

Language Arts-This week, third graders read the fun story by Dav Pilkey entitled, Dogzilla. Fourth graders read the track related story entitled, Moon Runner. We discussed possessive nouns and practiced with apostrophes. We finished the book of Holes, and will watch the movie soon for an end-of-the-year party! We learned cursive letters D, L, and G. There will not be spelling words for next week. For Language Arts, we are going to be working individual stories, our biography projects, and animal research projects. We will be finishing up book reports next week, just in time to share them on May 10^th.

Math-Both grades are working with fractions! Third grade has learned how to write fractions in word and number form. They have also solved some fractions related word problems. Fourth graders are learning how to make equivalent fractions, put them in simplest form, solve word problems, and work with mixed numbers. We will continue in our math books the remainder of the school year. We will have our multiplication final contest the last week of school, so please keep practicing those facts!

Social Studies-This week, worked on our famous people “rugs,” and will share our knowledge next week. We have loved learning from these biographies. We will continue with Science next week too!
