Dear Mom and Dad ,

This week was good .

The best part of my week was reese  because I had intermeros and we plaid this fun game ware we would all line up and one person would be in the the goal and the rest would put the ball on the penalty spout and if you mist you would go in the goal.

In math we learned how to compare fractions.

We read opinion essays about zoos and I learned that zoos are ok and because animals can get a sickness.

One way I was a good friend this week was because I walk home with john   .

This weekend I am looking forward the .

From,

J.D.

Update from Mrs. Hall: We are so excited about our first field trip today to the Civil War Muster! I will share photos after our trip this afternoon via the class blog. In Bible we discussed two more biblical truths: “Sin caused disharmony between God’s image-bearers and the earth” and “Jesus died to restore harmony between God’s image-bearers and the earth.” In math, we have mastered comparing fraction by finding a common denominator and are beginning to examine fractions greater than one. This week in science we began our inquiry into “how organisms, such as zebra mussels, affect the Great Lakes” through observing a video about zebra mussels and a time-lapse dot map of zebra mussel growth. As a class, we began reading the novel, “Fish in a Tree” and are practicing asking questions throughout the reading process. In Social Studies, students will continue in the unit, Three Worlds Meet by comparing some of the Native Americans that lived in North America before Columbus’ explorations.We analyzed opinion essays to figure out what makes an essay convincing, focused on writing complete sentences, and practiced our spelling words. It was a busy week, but God is continuing to grow our minds and hearts each day!
