October 5, 2018
Dear Mom,
This week was good because I saw God working in me. God helped me with my anger.
This week at school I was not getting angry that much.
In math, we are learning fractions, how to add and subtract with different denominators.
My favorite special this week was PE and music because we play soccer and it’s fun. In music we get to play on these drums.
From,
Aaron

Note from Mrs. Hall
Happy October! This week, in Bible we began a new unit about God’s covenants- and specifically focused on the covenant with Adam and Eve, and Noah. In math, we wrapped up our unit 1 skills and will begin review for our test on adding and subtracting fractions next week. In Social Studies, students are investigating why Europeans were “forced” to explore around the world. We picked topics for opinion essays and began researching reasons for and against. In reading, I am testing each student individually and will continue next week. In science, students are analyzing data to predict future effects of zebra mussels on a lake. We are revisiting routines often, as we have begun to hit the point in the year where everyone feels comfortable with one another… and becomes very social! I am praying for each of your children’s learning and friendships, and am eager to continue to build my relationship with each of them individually. — Mrs. Hall
