Dear famliy,
This week was awesome.
I saw God at work this week in our classroom. I am reading the lightning thief. One question I have about my book is why do people want to kill percy. In science, we learned that zebra mussels cleaning the water. This is good because it is better to swim in. A name for God I learned was messiah.
Don’t forget that I love you guys.
From,
Logan

Note from Mrs. Hall
We are finally settling into routines, and I have loved seeing students flourish in our classroom! This week, in Bible we began our final project that connects the 4 Biblical Truths with our own life and we get to worship with K-5 this afternoon! In math, we are adding and subtracting mixed numbers. We are webbing some “thick” questions by collecting evidence as we read. 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 dug deeper into the structure of opinion essays. See science note above. God is continuing to grow our minds and hearts each day, and we have even found some time for a few 10 second dance parties as we celebrate math! — Mrs. Hall

Sounds like you had a great week, Logan.
I am so proud of you!
You learned an important word – Messiah.
The word “Messiah” is from the Hebrew word “Mashiach” which means “anointed one”. “Ha-Mashiach” means “The Anointed One”. In Greek, this Hebrew word is literally translated as “Khristos” from which we got the English word “Christ”. So “Christ” exactly means “Messiah” or “Anointed One”.
