Hi, 4th Grade, Parents! Fall weather is finally here! It has been a busy, but fun week in 4th Grade Land. :)
*The END OF THE QUARTER is today! We dismiss at 12:30, so we can work on grade
cards. We will be passing these out at
conferences next week.
*Our 7th/8th VOLLEYBALL players and our SOCCER team have
their league tournaments this weekend. I
have attached their schedules in case you want to go and cheer them on! GO, RAMS!
*Myrna Mardis from the Blue Springs Optimist Club came and
visited us this week! She talked about
all the activities available in Blue Springs for the kids, including the Spooky Springs and the Fishing Derby. She sent a note home about these events. She also distributed student dictionaries to
all the 4th graders at TLS! All 4th
graders in the city of Blue Springs receive one. :) We are so thankful!

THANK YOU to all veterans!
It is humbling to know how many have given their lives, their time, and
their service to God, to us, and to our country. Thank you SO much!
*Get Ready for TLS TRIVIA NIGHT! Join us for Trivia Night on November 15th! This fun-filled evening promises laughter and friendly competition for everyone. Gather your friends, form a team, and prepare to showcase your trivia skills! Stay tuned for more details on registration and event specifics. We can’t wait to see you there!
Here is what we have been up to this week:
RELIGION- We have been studying the lives of King Josiah,
Daniel, and Jeremiah. We had
wonderful discussions about how God, despite the people and their continuous
sinning and turning away from Him, remained faithful to them and loved
them. He does the same for us! We discussed the “lions” in our
own lives and how Satan tries to trick us around every corner. We shared ways that we can resist those temptations
and how God is there to help us. God is
holy and must punish sin, but Jesus took that ultimate punishment for us.
Next week, we will be learning all about Martin Luther and
the REFORMATION. We will be combining
Religion class and Language Arts, as we dive deep into Martin’s life, and learn
how he stood up for his faith, and helped reform the church by spreading the
GOOD NEWS of Jesus!
MEMORY for Next Week:
10/22-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.
10/25-Say the entire Morning Prayer.
LANGUAGE ARTS-We read about the collage artist Romare
Bearden in the story, “Me and Uncle Romie.”
We learned all about Harlem and collage painting! The skills we talked about this week: finding
a theme, idioms, and verb tense.
SPELLING Words for Friday, October 25th:
Martin Luther, afraid, church, knight, monk, trust, choir,
shield, scare, forgiveness, indulgence, Lutheran, heaven, victory, statements
Challenge Word: Reformation
MATH- We have been working with comparison problems—comparing multiplication and addition. We have also been working on finding the unknown variable and solving comparison problems using division. We reviewed Unit 4 and tested over it today!
SOCIAL STUDIES- We completed a ton of map work! We learned about the Northeast and the Southeast regions of the United States this week. What an amazing country God has blessed us
with!
SPECIAL CLASSES
ART- We drew and painted beautiful Zentangle Pumpkins, which
are now adoring the walls of the hallway.
:)
MUSIC- We practiced our songs for the upcoming Veteran’s Day Program.
COMPUTERS- We continued partner work on our Fractured
Fairytales!
WRITING-We shared our Fractured Fairytales in Readers’
Theatre and worked on our personal narratives.
P.E.-We played Dr. Dodgeball and Four Quadrant
Dodgeball!
Have a blessed weekend!
