Note from Mrs. Hall

Thank you for your patience, as I was out two days this week. In math, we began our next unit on decimals. Also, we created two math groups by joining Mr. Hutt’s class, and each group will move at a pace best for your child. In Bible, we worked to understand the covenants God made with David and the Nation of Israel- we will be wrapping up this unit next week. We worked on adding evidence to support our claim for our opinion essays. In reading, we finally finished reading assessments! In science, students wrote their letter to Congress about taking action to protect our Great Lakes from zebra mussels. In social studies student groups have been researching a couple of different explorers, thier routes, their reasons for exploring, and their exploration needs. Students will be presenting their “sails” pitch to the King of Portugal or the Queen of Spain in the next few weeks. Have a blessed weekend.  — Mrs. Hall

Dear Mom ,

This week was awesome  because I got to do band and it was so much fun and I learned a new song for my clarinet .

One way I used my words for good this week was for my soccer game  and I Encourage my team . In bible we are learning about Gods Covenants Godb said to Noah that I will never flood the whole earth ever again and the Symbol of a rainbow mean that he will keep his promise . We are taking our math test today and I am feeling not good . In Science, one solution to stop zebra mussels is to  wash boats to get the zebra mussels off.

I want to tell you more about my last soccer game this weekend!

What a week full of learning and wrapping up our first math uni! Today, students are taking their unit 1 math test on adding and subtracting fractions, and I feel so confident in the growth that they made. In Bible we worked to understand the covenants God made with Abraham, Moses and the nation of Israel and reviewed some of the 10 commandments. We worked on writing our claim and reasons for our opinion essays. In reading, I am still testing each student individually and will continue next week… I hope to be done by conferences so I have up to date information to share with you! In science, students analyzed solutions to stop zebra mussels and are beginning their final assessment in the form of a persuasive letter to Congress about the importance of protecting our Great Lakes. We are spending time discussing Ephesians 4:29, and how to use our words to build others up. This would be a great conversation to continue to have at home as well. Thank you for your support. — Mrs. Hall

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
