Curriculum Highlights:

Field trip:  We had so much fun today!  Be sure to click on the "Class Photos" link to see some of our adventure!  

Reading: We have been digging deep in our unit called "Following Characters into Meaning."  As we read we are trying to empathize with our characters and notice details about them that we didn't see before.  As a class we are reading the book Because of Winn Dixie to model our teaching points.  

Writing:  This week we completed editing our personal narratives and we began writing our final drafts.  This will take us into next week as we remember to incorporate all that we have learned!

Math: We have officially learned how to multiply and divide from 0-11!  Keep on having your child practice their facts at home to make them more fluent.  We also learned about square numbers and how to write our own multiplication and division problems.  

Science:  We completed our keynote presentations this week and had a lot of fun sharing them to both the class and our grandparents.  You should have received an email from your child with his/her presentation.

Bible:  This week we saw how sin entered the world and God's people begin to make some poor choices.  We studied the stories of Cain and Abel, discusses genealogies, and moved into the story of the flood.  We talked a lot about God's plan of salvation and how we see His faithfulness to His people over and over again.

Have a wonderful weekend!
