Happy Friday--what a week! :)

 

Hello, families!  Happy National Lutheran Schools Week!  Happy Grandparents’ Day!  We have had a WONDERFUL week!  Thank you for your prayers and your support!  We had a fun week!

 I also want to thank you for all of the prayers and notes of encouragement this week.  I appreciate them all, and am just humbly blessed by all of you and your sweet kids.  Thank you.  Services will be next Thursday and Friday, so I will be gone. I am working on finding a substitute.  With this in mind, the 100^th Day of School is now on Friday.  I have decided to celebrate the 101^st Day of School with these kids, (Monday the 6^th) so I can be with them and join in the fun!  I will let them know of this change.  There is nothing that they need to bring to school.  We will have goofy, fun centers all day, and have a great time celebrating being in school 101 DAYS!  Thank you!

Here is what we have been up to this week:

RELIGION-

This week, we learned the stories of Jonah and The Three Men in the Fiery Furnace.  We discussed faith, how to lean on God and not our own understanding, and also how to share that faith.

 MEMORY for next week:

1/31- Be able to say the entire Lord’s Prayer.

2/3- Luther’s Evening Prayer : I thank You, my Heavenly Father, through Jesus Christ, Your dear Son, that You have graciously kept me this day;

 LANGUAGE ARTS/SOCIAL STUDIES- We read the historical fiction story about the San Francisco earthquake called “The Earth Dragon Awakens.”  We had some great conversations!   We also talked about verb tenses.  With our shortened week, and my absence one day, we will continue learning about this story and the history around it next week.  We will also have the same spelling words, as we weren’t quite ready to test over them last week.  Thanks for your understanding!  Also:  Please don’t forget that book report are due next Tuesday!  

 SPELLING WORDS for Friday, February 3^rd: from the story entitled, “The Earth Dragon Awakens”- rising, traced, stripped, slammed, dancing, striped, winning, snapping, bragging, handled, dripped, begged, dared, skipped, hitting, spotted, raced, dimmed, spinning, escaped, urged, striving, *centenarian

 MATH- We began working with patterns this week—nonnumeric and numeric patterns and solving word problems with patterns.  This was fun and we will dive more in next week!

 SPECIAL CLASSES

WRITING- We worked on our idiom book! 

MUSIC- The kids practiced their songs for church.

P.E. – We practiced jump roping this week!  If you have a jump rope at home, this is a great skill (and great exercise!) for your kid to practice.  Some are really struggling with this.  We will work on jump roping in PE class next week as well. 

COMPUTER- We practiced a lot with Google Slides this week!  We continued on our “All About Me” slides, and wrote funny stories on Google Docs.

ART- We drew and painted cat contours.  These turned out SO beautifully!  I will take pictures of them for you next week.
