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!
Here is what we have been up to this week:
RELIGION- We have had some great discussions in Religion
this week. We have learned the stories
of Solomon, Elijah and the Prophets of Baal, Elisha and the Shunammite Woman,
and Ahab and Naboth’s Vineyard. Many of
these were new stories to some of us, but the lessons had one constant: We put many things before God, and we need to
remember to keep Him foremost and center in our lives. He gives us so many blessings, and many
times, we overlook those, to focus on the negative things that are happening around
us. We also discussed how we have so
many opportunities to share our faith—In our homes, neighborhoods, in public,
and at school. We talked about how at
times, actions speak so much louder than words, and how to always make sure we
are showing that we are Christians by our LOVE.
MEMORY for Next Week:
10/15- Luther’s Morning Prayer: I thank You, my Heavenly
Father, through Jesus Christ, Your dear Son, that You have kept me this night
from all harm and danger;
10/18-and I pray You to protect me this day also from sin
and every evil, that all my doings and; life may please You.
LANGUAGE ARTS-This week we read the story “Coming Distractions: Questioning Movies.” We learned lot of new “movie-making” vocabulary terms, and how we should often analyze the movies we see to check for content and how truthful the images are. We had some great discussions about many of the movies that we have seen, and how music and lighting make you feel a certain way, and how often the fight or chase scenes don’t show what is happening all around them. It was interesting! This week, we also practiced writing a summary, finding verb tense, and finding facts and opinions. We were also introduced to our new Author of the Month, Patrica Polacco. We already love her!
SPELLING Words for Friday, October 18th:
Story: “Me and Uncle Romie”
aloud, bald, hawk, south, faucet, proud, claw, tower, stalk,
couple, howl, false, dawn, allow, drown, pause, fault, cause, amount, cloudier,
applaud, foul
Challenge Word: mesmerize
MATH- This week, we began Chapter 3, which is multiplication! We have been learning how multiplying relates to addition and subtraction, as well as reviewing fact families. The class claimed this was “easy-peasy!” ;) Next week, it will get a bit tougher as we work with word problems, properties and rules, and factors and multiples. Please keep practicing those math facts! We are onto the 6’s in class! They CAN do this!!!
SOCIAL STUDIES- This week, we completed some map work and learned how to read a grid map. We began learning all about the regions of the United States, and then focused on the Northeast. We discussed population, natural resources, the economy, and the geography.
SPECIAL CLASSES
ART- We wove paper pumpkins.
They are beautiful and hanging in the hallway!
MUSIC- We learned some classis songs (Take Me Out to the
Ballgame!) and practiced songs for the Veterans Day program.
COMPUTERS- We continued partner work on our Fractured Fairytales!
WRITING-We caught up on all of our writing assignments—Summer
Vacation Stories, BioPoems, and Personal Narratives
P.E.- We played Pin Dodgeball and Dr. Dodgeball
