Bible: What fun we are having as we find favorite verses in the Bible and add them to our verse rings! To help us with finding verses we have been using our table of contents and we are getting used to finding chapters and verses as well. We also learned this week how to use the concordance in our Bibles. Your children are so excited to learn how to find passages in their personal Bibles and it is so much fun to watch them dive into God's word with such enthusiasm!
Reading: We finished our class book The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane this week. We learned how to retell a whole story from beginning to end, how to find lessons in the books we are reading, and how to write a review and recommendation of a good book. Everyone wrote an excellent book review and I video taped each child. Stay tuned to view these great clips!
Writing: Our drafts for our personal narratives are complete! This week we wrote leads and endings that involved a setting, an action, or a dialogue and chose the one that went best with our story. We have read and reread our writings to the wall and to partners as we continue to add detail and we have identified the heart of our stories. Next week we will be editing our work and start publishing our final copy.
Math: We added 0's and 1's this week to our multiplication/division facts and also focused more on arrays. Next week Friday (October 9) will be our first Math test. I spent home a practice test that is due on October 8. If your child is struggling with a problem just have them circle it and I will reteach that concept to him/her.
Science: This week we focused on how to care for the earth. We did an experiment where we saw how little farmland we have left. We also looked at what happens when we have a lot of rainwater and runoffs occur due to the changes we are making to the earth. Lastly we talked about oil spills and what that does to God's creation. We have been blessed with an amazing world and we are called to care for it!
