Writing: We continued to write “How to…” writings.

Spelling Bee: We had our class spelling bee on Thursday and I am happy to announce that Leyna Alcantara, Hirohisa Fukuda, and Shuma Toyomoto will be going on to compete on Feb 5th against the 1st and 2nd graders. Good job to everyone on studying the Spelling Bee words!
Math: We finished up Unit 5 this week as we continued practicing the function machine, and math facts. We took our Unit 5 test today and everyone did great!
Bible: We have started learning about the cycle of the judges. After the Israelites settle down in Canaan, they start a cycle of forgetting about God and worshipping other idols, where then God allows their enemies to come and attack them, then they cry out to God for help, and God picks a judge to save them from their enemies where they then have peace. We learned that the first judge was Othniel. In today’s story, Gideon fought against the Midianites with only 300 men and God helped them win with them using a torch, jar, and horn.
Fun Friday today we made our own cars!
