What a FUN day!!!

 Hi, Parents!  WOW!  What a FUN DAY this has been!!!  Whew!  THANK YOU for all of you that were able to help, donate items, and donate your time!  The weather was gorgeous, everyone had great sportsmanship, and we have a blast!  (I am SOAKED, but happy!)  THANK YOU to our Tyler Hutton and all of his hard work planning this SUPER-FUN event!  I have uploaded some pictures that I took today to our blog, so please make sure you check them out! 

 *Do you have plans the night of Wednesday, May 12th?  Our PTL is hosting a fun, end-of-the-year school picnic OUTSIDE with FOOD TRUCKS from 4:30-6:00 p.m.!

 *YEARBOOKS ARE ON SALE!  Order now at inter-state.com/flyerentry/56423NK.  The deadline to order is 05/28/2021.  Yearbooks will either be mailed to you or hand delivered at the start of next school year.  Paper reminders are coming home today. 

 Here is what we have learned this week:

Religion- This week, we focused on the Fruits of the Spirit, and thought about what fruits we possess and how to make those grow.  We also focused on some of the apostles and what they did after Jesus ascended—namely Peter and Paul.  We are finished with memory work for the year! 

 Language Arts-This week, all the students chose their last reading stories and tested over these on Thursday.  We focused on finishing up our biographies, creating our Biography Rugs, and finishing up our animal research.  Biography Rugs are due Monday, May 10th.  Some students will be bringing them home to add finishing touches. 

 Math-Both grades are working with fractions!  Third graders tested over equivalent fractions and will begin a bit of measuring next week.  Fourth graders test over putting fractions in simplest form and finding equivalent fractions.  They will have a little bit of adding and subtracting fractions next week to finish up the year.  Next week, we will have our end of the year multiplication test to see who knows those facts!!! 

 Science-We will work with the lithosphere (dirt) and with the biosphere next week!  Time to get dirty! 

 Specials-

Art-We finished up our Night Gardens.  They are gorgeous!   

Writing/Computer Lab-Those animal research reports are coming together! 

P.E.-We played tunnel tag and had outside play in this beautiful weather.    

Music-We were able to watch a recording of our musical.  :)

 Next week:  We will focus on Religion, Science, and our very own competitions in a 3rd/4th grade edition of Tim-Olympics 2021! (Spelling Bee, Dodgeball tournament, Tangram races, tower building, etc.)  YAY!  On Thursday, we will watch the movie “Holes,” celebrate our summer birthdays, and have some fun competitions!  On Friday, we will have our closing Chapel, have our classroom auction, say our sweet goodbyes, and have a 1:00 dismissal.  God bless!
