Hello, 4th grader parents! How about this crazy Missouri weather?! Happy March!
*MORNINGS WITH MOM (or other very special people) is this next
Wednesday March 6th, from 7:45-8:25.
Come and have a donut or muffin, a cup of coffee, and play a fun game
with your kiddo…or just sit and visit!
Then, if you are able, please join us for Chapel at 8:45. See you then!
*TLS is hosting next Wednesday’s Dining with Jesus (our
Lenten dinner). We start serving at 6:00, with worship starting at 6:30, and
finishing up by 7ish. The pulled pork

Jesus (and us) for dinner!
*The end of 3RD QUARTER is already on Friday, March 8th! Goodness!
We have a 1:00 dismissal so we can work on grade cards. Please make sure your student has all their
missing work and corrections turned in by next Friday. Thank you so much for your help with
this!

Here are updates about our classroom:
RELIGION: We
discussed Jesus’ infinite wisdom and power, by learning about the miracles of
His healing the official’s son, and preaching in Nazareth to people who NEEDED
to hear Him. We all NEED Jesus
desperately, and we are so blessed that He is ours and that He loves us!
MEMORY for next week:
3/5- In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with
God, and the Word was God. ~John 1:1
3/8-For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God
is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. ~Romans 6:23
LANGUAGE ARTS: We shared mystery book reports this week, and
learned about our next book reports too—nonfiction!
We also read the story, “Tomas and the
Library Lady,” which is the nonfiction story about Tomas Rivera. We learned some new Spanish words and learned
a lot about the Spanish culture too! We
discussed character development, contractions, and antonyms. Next week, we will be learning about
Sacajawea and her contributions to the Corps of Discovery.
SPELLING for next Friday, March 8th (from
“Sacajawea”):
million, collect, lumber, pepper, plastic, borrow, support,
thirty, perfect, attend, canyon, traffic, fortune, danger, soccer, engine,
picture, survive, seldom, effort, *interpreter
MATH: We finished up
our first unit about fractions—how to find equivalent fractions, and how to
compare fractions by finding common denominators. The students took their tests yesterday. Next week, we will begin Unit 9, which will
be adding and subtracting fractions. We
are almost finished with mad minutes too!
Today we took Day 95! By this
time, most kiddos have their facts memorized, and are finishing up their mad
minutes (30 problems) in less than 3 minutes!
There are few, however, who are not finishing, and are still really
struggling. Please urge them to practice
flash cards and play math games to memorize these! Finding common denominators and completing
long division will be so much easier when they do not need to use a
multiplication table. :) At the end of the year, in May, we will have
a “I Finished my Mad Minutes” Ice Cream Sundae party for those that have their
facts memorized. This will be an after
school event, and I will give more details as the time approaches. My hope is that maybe enticing taste buds
will helps some! ;)
We played some multiplication Bump It! math games today!
MISSOURI HISTORY: We
finished up Chapter 1 in our Missouri History books this week! We have been discussing the regions of
Missouri and the natural resources that can be found there! We completed the review and will test over
this material on Monday. I have attached
the study guide, and here is the link for the Missouri Jeopardy game to help
practice: https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1bSJazZRRNQCU1Ky-_l6G0kwFN2syufS-ctYOXSbx12M/edit?usp=sharing
ART: We stepped up to
the task of completing half of a picture this week. We each received half of a picture of an
animal and to recreate the other half, along with the setting. Below, are pictures of the finished ones!
WRITING: We finished up our persuasive essays and learned
how to write cinquain poems.
P.E.: We took
advantage of this beautiful weather and played outside. We had several games of kickball and soccer
going on, while others played on the swings and the jungle gym.
MUSIC- We used musical sticks to learn how to count to the
beat of the music.
COMPUTER LAB-We published our persuasive essays and cinquain
poems.
Yours in Christ,
Kim
