Curriculum Highlights:
Math:  As you can see from the photo below, we have been busy learning all about polygons.  We are getting good at these definitions and today we began working with area and perimeter.


Literacy:  In reading we are working our way through our final week of mystery book clubs.  I love listening to the discussion groups debate with each other on their opinions and theories!  In writing we continue to work on a piece called How I Know God Is Real.  This week we drafted different ways we see God in the Bible.

Bible:  We looked closely this week at the tabernacle that the Israelites built for God.  We talked about how God desires for us to spend time with him each day and how it is important for us as Christians to also gather and spend time with other believers.  We also looked at the furnishing in the tabernacle and what each item meant to the Israelites.

Social Studies:  We finished studying the French Voyageurs this week as we looked at their relationship with the Native Americans.  We have begun studying the arrival of the British and how this impacts the relationships with those already in Michigan.

Have a great weekend!
