Dear [Mom],
This week was exciting because we learned awesome stuff!.
I saw God at work this week when Melat hurt her nose, and her friends helped her. One way that Jesus taught me to pray is don’t pray for so long, maybe about 30 seconds to a minute. In Social Studies we are are learning about the Mali Ghana and Songhay empires. One more thing, we learned about the Biospheres, Atmosphere, Hydrosphere and the Geosphere.
I want to tell you more about what the spheres mean this weekend.
From,
Noah

Note from Mrs. Hall
We had a busy week of NWEA MAP testing, but finished all our online assessments! Next week, I will begin reading tests individually with students in order to have an update on their reading level by conferences. This week, in Bible we finished our final Biblical Truths posters… we will be sharing them on our blog for you to see! In math, we are adding and subtracting fractions with uncommon denominators. In Social Studies, students will inquire into the salt and gold trade in Africa. We collected evidence for and against graphic novels to prepare for our opinion essays and continued recording questions as we read. In science, we are charting the cause and effect relationship of zebra mussels on the Great Lakes. Students explored countries flags in Spanish. God is showing us how to forgive one another and share the love He has for us with others. — Mrs. Hall
