Here is what we have been up to this week:
RELIGION/LANGUAGE ARTS- We learned all about Martin Luther
and the Reformation this week! We read
several stories about Martin, watched a few videos, dug into God’s Word, and
analyzed parts of his life. We also
learned the hymn, “A Mighty Fortress,” penned by Martin Luther himself. We are so thankful for the blessing he as to
our faith, yet we know he too, was a great sinner. We discussed ways we can stand up for our
faith too—not recant---and share the love of Jesus everywhere we go! We discussed nouns, verbs, adjectives this
week, as well as character analysis. The
kiddos loved this song called, “Reformation Rock,” by Lost and Found, so I
promised I would share the video with you…So, you too, can hum this song day
and night. You are welcome. :) https://youtu.be/tsbRDyErfOI
7th/8th graders led CHAPEL this week, and we learned all about Matthew. He was that ornery tax collector, but Jesus loved him and He loves US!
MEMORY for Next Week:
11/1-For into Your hands I commend myself, my body and soul,
and all things. Let Your holy angel be
with me, that the wicked foe may have no power over me. Amen.
11/4-Say the entire Morning Prayer. (We say this every morning in here…They’ve
GOT THIS!)
SPELLING Words for Friday, November 4th, Story: "Dear Mr. Winston"
spark, prepare, cheer, tear, scarf, scare, repair, earring,
scarce, weird, sharp, rear, spare, gear, hairy, compare, alarm, harsh,
upstairs, square, weary, startle
Challenge Word: omnipresent
MATH- We are learning long multiplication, beginning with two-digit by one-digit. We learned what this actually means with Base 10 blocks, and now are solving them with our memorized facts! Please keep working on those facts at home! I am so proud of these kiddos and far they have come in math already this school year.
SOCIAL STUDIES- We finished up out unit about the regions of the United States this week. Study guides came home. Our test will be on Monday! I think most of the kiddos are ready! We will begin Science next Wednesday. Our first unit will be all about Living Things: Plants and Animals!
SPECIAL CLASSES
ART-We made Zentangle Pumpkins. They are adorning our halls too! Next week, we will be creating Luther Seals. If you have any supplies at home that you would
not mind sharing with us, we will be using different kinds of media to make
these: cotton balls, sequence, yarn,
rice, really anything! If you
have some extra lying around, please send them in by next Tuesday. We have some
at school that we will use too. Thank
you!
MUSIC- Students practiced songs for the upcoming Veteran’s Day Program. (You’re a Grand Ol’ Flag!) ;)
COMPUTER LAB- We worked on typing.com and published on Google Docs.
P.E.- We played Doctor Dodgeball. This was fun!
WRITERS’ WORKSHOP-We used some goofy, spooky pictures to write fictional tales! We can’t wait to publish these and share them with you!
Have a blessed weekend,
Kim
