Week of December 12 to 16

What We Learned this Week

Bible: This week, we talked about how the Spirit of God left Saul. God was at work in David's life preparing him and getting him ready to become the future king of Israel. 

Math: We have started long division. We practiced and reviewed how to divide a 2 and 3 digit dividend by a single digit divisor- with and without remainder. I would encourage the students to practice and review their basic division facts at home.  

Reading: This week, we talked about building a repertoire of strategies that readers can use when they are reading informational texts.

Social Studies: The students conducted research on the Internet to identify fun facts about a man-made structure of their choosing. They had lots of fun using their iPads to conduct the research.

Lots of Christmas Fun!

The students did such a wonderful job at the Spanish Immersion Christmas concert. We celebrated Jesus' birth, and we did it all in Spanish. I am very proud of every child. 

Our classroom Christmas party was so much fun! We all had a nice time of fellowship over pupusas, hot chocolate, games, and crafts. Thank you so much to the moms that helped to make this party a wonderful success! 

Merry Christmas!

Families, it is my hope and prayer that during this Christmas season you find time to rest and revel at the birth of Jesus Christ. May it be a time filled with rest and rejuvenation as you spend time with family and loved ones. Feliz Navidad!

What We Learned this Week: Bible:  This week, we studied David's desire to build a temple for God. We talked about how God sometimes says "no" as an answer to our desires. Just like David, we cannot allow that to make us feel bitter. God's will and plan is always good and perfect.  Math:  The students finished up their Unit 3 tests this week. We have started Unit 4 which is all about algebra. We started off by simplifying like expressions. I am including some practice exercises. If your student wishes to practice simplifying like expressions, s/he can complete this page and turn it in. I will provide feedback. Writing:  We are now officially finished with the Persuasive Essays. We look forward to next week when we move on to the Personal Expertise Essay. Social Studies:  The students finished their Geography of the United States Google Slides Project this week. We will be studying movements of people within the United States next week.  February 12 to 23 S...

What We Learned this Week Bible : We are kicking off our Bible class by understanding how Scripture interprets Scripture. We are studying the book of Philippians to do so. We investigated the events that took place during Paul's second missionary journey along with the people he met. Ultimately, we learned that Paul's primary focus was to know Christ even more- which should be our motive as well.  This unit is very short, so the students will be taking a quiz over the material we have learned thus far late next week. However, it is quite possible that the quiz will be pushed to early the following week. The students will be given a hard copy of the study guide, and I am including a digital copy of the study guide here as well. I also like to include links to a gamified version of the study guide. The platform is called "Blooket," and the students should be familiar with it. Here are the game links if your student wishes to play the games: Tower Defense 2 Monster Braw...

We have read up on how Ruth and Naomi traveled back to Bethlehem and how Ruth met Boaz.  The students will be taking the Judges and Ruth Test early in the week of September 30 to October 4. I will be providing the students a physical copy of the Spanish study guide on Monday. I am providing an electronic version of the Spanish study guide here . I am also including an English study guide for parent use only. Feel free to use this resource to support your student.  Additionally, I have made a Blooket using the test questions. I am including the game links here as another study resource for your student.
