Here is what we have been up to this week:
RELIGION- We discussed Epiphany, and the wisemen, and tested
over Unit 5. (Graded tests will be
coming home!) Yesterday, we began talking about Jesus and His ministry here on
earth. We began with John the Baptist,
and his example for us all, and how we are to spread the GOOD NEWS of Jesus! We also talked about the temptation of Jesus,
and discussed ways Satan tempts us daily, all the time. He uses vices that seem right to us, when
they truly are designed to lead us away from God, instead of towards Him. We
shared ways that we can be the lights in this world of darkness!
Upcoming MEMORY work: 2/14 -The Apostle's Creed
I believe in God the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and
earth.
And in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord,
who was conceived by the Holy Spirit,
born of the Virgin Mary,
suffered under Pontius Pilate,
2/17-was crucified, died, and was buried.
He descended into hell.
The third day He rose again from the dead.
He ascended into heaven
and sits at the right hand of God
the Father Almighty.
LANGUAGE ARTS- This week, we read the non-fiction excerpt
“Antarctic Journal,” where we learned a first-hand depiction of what life is
like on Antarctica. We learned all about
the Adelaide penguins, the blue hate, krill, and the green flash. We also watch a few videos to learn
more! We discussed sequencing, point of
view, and food chains. We also read
about a marathon run that takes place in Antarctica, and how the runners
prepare their bodies for such a feat!
SPELLING WORDS for Friday, February 17th: (from Ramona and Her Father)
genuine, anxious, comet, pretend, utilize, cross, urge,
coax, swifter, outrunning, *unfortunately
MATH- We have been learning about sequencing, patterns, input/output tables, and Order of Operations. (This was FUN!) We have used these skills in solving word problems and problems with multiple operations. We will review this material next week, and test over it. Then, onto our 2nd math books!
SOCIAL STUDIES- We dove back into Missouri History this week, with learning about the regions in Missouri, latitude and longitude, and what citizenship is.
SPECIAL CLASSES
WRITING- We finished up our poetry from last week and began
writing “I Cannot Imagine Life Without” ideas this week.
MUSIC-Students practiced the hymn, “Beautiful Savior,” to
sing at our Lenten Service on March 8th!
P.E. – We completed 100 second stations with jump roping,
crunches, wall sits, passing the basketball, balancing, etc.
COMPUTER- Students started a health unit in Computer Class,
where we are discussing Emotional Health, and sharing ways to handle
conflict.
ART- We made beautiful woven hearts to decorate the hallway
and to make our valentine holders for next week.
GO CHIEFS!!!
Blessings,
Kim
