Here is what we have been up
to this week:
RELIGION: This week, we
learned of Jesus’ triumphant entry into Jerusalem and also reviewed the Second
and Third articles of the Apostles Creed.
We discussed how God shows His love for us by giving us a King, the
Messiah, who saves us. We have practiced
memorizing the entire 23rd Psalm.
MEMORY: 4/8-Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life, and I shall dwell in the house of the Lord forever.
4/11-Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight. ~Proverbs 3: 5-6
LANGUAGE ARTS: We began reading and learning about the childhood of Harry S. Truman this week. We have learned a lot of new vocabulary words, and have focused on sequencing and cause and effect. During class, we have been working in Literature Circles, with each student taking on a different role during discussions. We shared nonfiction book reports this week too!
Today, each fourth grader
received a biography of a famous Missourian. Your kiddo’s job is to read
the biography, take notes about this person, and then, in class, we will begin
writing about the person we studied. This will be our April/May book
report and project. We will create a Biography Lap Book, which we will
begin in class, but will need to be finished at home. They have been
given a due date of May 9th. In the meantime, please help your child come
up with a plan to dress up as his or her famous Missourian. Please use
resources you have at home or borrow from a friend. We will be reciting
the facts we have learned about these people, dressed as them, at our Famous
Missourian Living Museum on May 14th. (Think: Night at the
Museum!) You will get to meet Josephine Baker, George Washington Carver,
Dick Van Dyke, Yogi Berra, Harry S. Truman, Laura Ingalls Wilder, Maya Angelou,
Molly Brown, Daniel Boone, Mark Twain, Walt Disney, Ulysses S. Grant, and Helen
Stephens! I have some excited kiddos in here! (Please let me know
if you have any questions or concerns. In the past, I have had students wear a
track uniform for Helen Stephens, bring a bat for Yogi, a suit for Harry
Truman, a head scarf for Maya Angelo, a coon skin cap for Daniel Boone,
etc.) 😊
SPELLING WORDS for next Friday, April 11th: (from the book Harry S. Truman: Thirty-Third President of the United States)
although, magazine,
introduce, predicted, tremendous, stomach, disease, probably, gradually,
difficult, *diphtheria
MATH: We tested over Chapter 11 and began Chapter 12, where we are learning about decimals and comparing decimals and fractions.
MO HISTORY: We worked on our renewable and non-renewable group projects. I witnessed a lot of great conversations about our state during this time.

Missouri’s state insect, the honeybee, and create cool looking honeycomb for
