Here is what we have been up to this week:

RELIGION- We had our Bible Trivia classroom contest this week, and also learned all about the life of Jonah.  Jonah fought against what God wanted him to do, but God still protected him and led him down a path where he could succeed.  We talked about how this is EXACTLY like us!  Perhaps we ignore God when He is trying to tell us something or lead us in a certain direction.  Perhaps we get angry at Him.  He NEVER leaves us or forsakes us, though!  Glory be to God!

MEMORY for next week: (Just on Tuesday)

1/24- And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.   For Thine is the kingdom, the power, and the glory forever and ever.  Amen. 

LANGUAGE ARTS/SOCIAL STUDIES- We again discussed the life of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. by reading a story called “Happy Birthday, Dr. King!”  We discussed Rosa Parks, the bus boycott, and what discrimination looks like.  We had some very lengthy , mature conversations in here.  I am proud of these kiddos and the example that they are setting for one another.  It makes me proud that they will someday be the leaders in our country.  We discussed how being different is how God planned for us to be—and EVERYONE is beautiful!

SPELLING WORDS for Thursday, January 26^th: 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- This week, we have learned how to divide, having zeroes in the quotient, and how to solve multi-step word problems.  These last few days, we have been reviewing the many skills we have learned in this chapter, including long multiplication and long division.  We will test over this chapter on Monday, and begin a unit on patterns.

SCIENCE- We played Science Jeopardy, we quizzed our friends, and we took a Science test today over plants, animals, cells, organs, tissues, etc.  These will be graded this weekend and handed back next week.  We will begin another Missouri History unit next week!

 

SPECIAL CLASSES

WRITING- We wrote friendly letter to Mrs. Harris’ son, Gabe, who is in the military and to Mr. Hatcher, who has been very sick!  I am excited to get these mailed off.  We also worked on idioms this week, and are creating a classroom book of them!

MUSIC- The kids are working on songs for National Lutheran Schools Week.  We will record these songs next week to play in church.

P.E. – We played Swamp Ball and PacMan this week.

COMPUTER- We practiced a lot with Google Slides this week!  We continued on our “All About Me” slides, and practiced our Science material with the Jeopardy game and a Cell slide.

ART- We painted portraits of Martin Luther King, Jr.!
