Dear Families,
We had a wonderful week back from Spring Break, despite the snow this week. March certainly went out like a LION. We had a great April Fool’s Day with fun little tricks along the way.
This Past Week:
This week we read how Mary honored Jesus and how we can honor Jesus too. We also learned about the Parable of the Talents. For Reading, we continued in our Book Clubs and took another week to dig deep with Character Traits. The students then had to write a monologue as if they were the main character(s) and Monday we will get to hear them. In Science, we wrapped up the Life Cycle Unit.
Next week:
Christian Character Formation Project will be about Jesus Anointed at Bethany. Our virtue is SELF-SACRIFICE: God’s power for you to give something up to help
others. We strive to answer the question: How can you be selfless when it costs you everything?
A peek ahead Lent continues on Wednesday night service with the Last service and Lenten Meal before Easter. It is a joy to go worship our Lord in the middle of the week. In math we will focus on more aspects of Multiplication and will be moving into Division. Many students are well on their way up the quest to become a Multiplication NINJA. I WANT ALL MATHEMATICIANS TO BE MULITIPLICATION NINJAS BY EASTER BREAK. We start our next UNIT: Research Clubs which focuses on Non-fiction. We start a new unit: Adaptations and Survival. In Writing, we are also beginning a new focus on Non-fiction writing.
