We have a short, but full, week ahead of us!
No School Friday:
We have no school on Friday for a professional day. Please plan accordingly!
Fall Fest
Fundraising:
Our Fall Fest fundraising is in full swing!
Envelopes can be turned in each day, and they will be returned to
you. We’re well on our way to our first
incentive: spirit wear last day! As soon
as we earn it, I’ll let you know!
Christian Studies:
We’re moving through the Old Testament, and this week we’ll discuss Jacob and
Esau. We get the interesting perspective
of examining the brothers years after Jacob tricks Isaac and Esau. We’ll discuss forgiveness and link it to our forgiveness
from God. We’ll also learn how God works
everything for His good, even bad things, as we discuss Joseph and some of the injustices
he had to deal with.
Math:
This week in math we’ll examine odd and even numbers, using equations to
represent equal groups. We’ll also work with
arrays and use addition to find the total.
Language Arts:
This week our phonics concept is Bossy R (er).
Over the next few weeks, we’ll also look at ir and ur, but this is the
most common of the Bossy R combinations that says /er/.
In reading we’ll discuss ways we can make our neighborhood a better place. We’ll also examine the characteristics of realistic fiction and find those characteristics in our text for the week: Maybe Something Beautiful.
Science:
Now that we’ve introduced the unit and the students have had a chance to show
me what they know about making a map to show land and water, we’ll dive in to
categorizing different types of land and discussing their characteristics. The students will also choose two types of land
to add to their clay model.
