Week of November 4 to 8

What We Learned this Week:

Bible: This week, we have learning about Saul's jealousy of David. We have been talking about how God has been preparing David for becoming king of Israel- successful in battles, popular and loved by the Israelites, filled with God's presence.

The students will be taking the chapter test around the 21st. It could be a day or two afterwards. I am sending the Spanish study guides home with the students on Monday, November 11. I am including the English study guide here so you can support your student's studying. 

I am also including links to Blooket games the students can use to review at home.








Math: The students have been working SO hard on using estimation to check the reasonableness of their answers to double digit multiplication problems. They have also learned how to multiply a four digit number by a single digit number.

Reading: We have been paying attention to how main characters' actions AND the actions of secondary characters toward the main characters. This allows us, as good readers, to understand our main characters even more deeply.

Writing: We have done it! We have officially completed our realistic fiction stories. We culminated the unit by getting together with the other 4th grade sections. The students got into groups and shared their stories with each other. They discussed the heart messages of the stories and fellowshipped over a snack. It was fun!

Spelling: Here is next week's spelling list!

Snack for Upcoming Combined 4th Grade Activity (Nov. 26)

On November 26, the 4th grade students (all 3 sections) will be getting together to do a fun, combined activity. The 4th grade teachers would love to provide a snack and drink for each child during the activity.

We would like to have a parent volunteer to provide a snack and drink for 57 students. The snack and drink would have to be gluten free and not contain any tree nuts in order to accommodate everyone's dietary needs.

If you would like to supply the snacks and drinks, please let me know!

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...

Later, we learned of how the Israelites angered God and the attack of the Philistines which led to the capture of the ark of the covenant. We also saw Samuel acting on Israel's behalf and asking God to remember the Israelites before another battle against the Philistine army. We will be finishing this unit soon, and we will be testing over this unit on Tuesday, October 15. A paper study guide was sent home with the students on Thursday, October 10.
