Week 7

This is the last week for Fall Fest fundraising!  Please remember to return your child's packet by Friday, October 13!  Fall Fest festivities begin at 10:00 AM at Howard Amon Park.  The 1 mile race starts at 11:00 AM!  Have you registered your child for the race?  If your child has raised $50 or more, you should have received an email with information regarding how to register them for the race for free!

Christian Studies:
We're moving along in the Old Testament and will be learning about the 10 plagues and the Israelites being delivered out of Egypt.  We'll also learn about the song of praise Miriam and Moses lifted up to God after they crossed the Red Sea.

Math:
This week we'll begin collecting and recording data using tally marks.  We'll also interpret and draw picture graphs and bar graphs.  We'll be answering questions about tally charts, bar graphs, and picture graphs.

Language Arts:
This week we'll continue discussing Bossy R words, this time with the /er/ sound being spelled "ur."  This is the third, least-common spelling of the /er/ sound.  

We'll also be finishing up our story about Snowshoe Hare and finding out what he does for winter.  We'll be reading a poem about animals in winter and we'll be talking about the structure of the poem.

Science:
In science this week we'll be examining some maps from around the world and throughout different historical times.  We'll look at their legends and identify some of the symbols they used to identify land and water patterns.  Then the students will create their own legend with symbols they'll be using when they make a map of their models.
