Dear Mom and Dad,
This week was interesting because I got to play SOCCER!!!
I saw God at work this week when someone was feeling bad and her friends helped her. In math, we are learning about subtracting fractions with not the same denominator. I feel pretty good about math because i’m doing good with the fractions. For my opinion topic, I am writing about should kids have cellphones in school. My favorite special this week was Gym because we got to play soccer. One last thing, i’m doing really good with my reading.
From,
Noah

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
