Dear Families,

Ooh, it has been a little bit chilly this week, but the sunny days help! God is good, all the time! 

Religion/Friendzy Math Reading Writing/Spelling

This past week: We learned about how Jesus was rejected by his own friends in Nazareth.  The were so angry with him that they were even going to throw him off a cliff!  But Jesus pervailed! Then we learned about how Jesus called Peter, James, and John to be fishermen for God.  We can be fishers of men too!

Friendzy Theme: April- Stop the Gossip

This past week:  We began our next Unit: Measurement and Data. We discovered tools for liquid volume and mass. 

This past week: We continued to research our animal and collect facts.

Next Week: We read the Parable of the Farmer and the seeds and we will see how Jesus calms the storm!

Friendzy: April- Stop the Gossip

Next Week: We continue to learn about Measurement and Data: telling time to the minute and reading graphs. 

Students should continue to practice multiplication facts!

Next Week: If the students haven't completed their animal reports, those will be worked on in class, but needs to be finished this week. 

We will discuss dialogue punctuation for grammar.
