This slideshow shows 4 biblical truths.

I am most proud of my how I presented my slides.

I learned about how kids should be nice because God called us to be image bearers.

Dear Mom,

This week was SO FUN!!.

The best part of my week was math because I’m way better than I thought.

In math me and Hunter had to do something that would take us weeks, but it only took us 2 days!

We read opinion essays about zoos and I learned that animals develop some sort of mental illness called Zoochosis.

One way I was a good friend this week was When hunter was confused I helped him on the problem.

This weekend I am looking forward to my SOCCER game!

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!

Dear Mom and Dad,

This week was AWESOME! Let me tell you about it.

The best part of my week was Soccer, because I was really good at it and Gym, because of the games.

In math, I learned that a unit fraction is a fraction that the numerator is a one. In science, we brainstormed traits of a great scientist. For example, a great scientist makes sketches and observes the thing he wants to learn about. An interesting word I found is Vociferous.

Lastly, one way I can be a good steward is help people by giving them what they need.

Update from Mrs. Hall: Another week of growth and learning in 5th grade! We have begun to develop classroom routines that allow us to be independent learners in reading, writing and spelling. In bible, we spent time understanding God’s call to be good stewards over the earth. In math, we started our unit on fractions, with a focus on unit fractions and equivalent fractions. We began discussing the traits of a great scientist so that we can live them out in our own science investigations, and will begin an inquiry into earth’s systems next week. We did our first bible memory on Psalm 46:1, and I am eager to see scripture get tucked away into each child’s heart this year! Thank you to those that came out to parent night, it was great to see you again!

• Orange folders signed this weekend! Don’t forget to try to read every night 🙂
• Field Trip to Van Raalte Civil War Muster September 14… Please let me know ASAP if you want to chaperone, and send a copy of your driver’s license and proof of insurance to cpapay@zcs.org. Student permission slips due by Thursday.
• Memory verse due Friday, Sept. 14: Psalm 46:2
  “Therefore we will not fear, though the earth give way and the mountains fall into the heart of the sea”
• Next week we will be getting our first set of spelling words, with a test next Friday

We can talk more this weekend!
