Week of April 24 to 28

What We Learned this Week:

Bible: The students reviewed and took the test over King Solomon. Next week, we will start our study on the divided kingdom. 

Math: We are finished with chapter 5 and have moved on to our new fractions unit. We have been adding fractions with like denominators and have been working on adding fractions to equal to one whole.

Reading: This week, the students read short picture books set during the time of WWII, and they made connections to the research that they completed a few days ago. We are reading "Number the Stars" together as a class, and we are really invested in the story. We are excited to finish it within these next coming days. 

Writing: We are busy with our faith writing essays. We are thinking about who or what has made us grow more closer to Jesus. We will be finishing up these essays early next week. 


Children's Day Spanish Immersion Activity:

We had such a fun time celebrating and honoring our kids on Children's Day. The weather cooperated, so it was pleasant to be outside for a few hours. Each teacher walked with a group of students and visited 8 stations complete with carnival-style games. There was, course, a food stand so the students enjoyed chilled watermelon and refreshing slushies. Click here to view some pictures!

Fun Events:

All the 4th graders joined together and celebrated and enjoyed each others' personal expertise essays. It was exciting to see the students interact with one another and praise each other on a job well done. Way to go, 4th graders!

On Wednesday morning, Rose Park was treated to an orchestra concert by the high school. It's amazing what power music holds and how it is able to join people together.

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.
