Happy Friday and Beautiful Field Day!!
The weather was perfect today for our Field Day! Thank you to all the parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, and families that came out to watch and cheer us on!
The students did so well in all the 10 activities. They cheered each other on and had good attitudes. After the events, we went down to the park for lunch and played, played, and played some more! I hope the students are not too sunburned! It was a great day!
This Week:
Reading: We focused on Cause and Effect. Every story or events in life have cause and effect. It’s a good skill to point it out. We practiced together throughout the week and read several books on Cause and Effect. The students also read their own books and thought of the cause and effect. Great job everyone!
Math: We took our Unit 8 test which means we only have 2 units left! We have continued practicing with fractions and counting on the number grid with 10’s and 1’s.
Bible: We took a break from the story of Solomon to learn about some different kinds of Psalms in the Bible. Psalms or kind of like prayers and we learned a Psalm of Confession, Adoration, Supplication, and Thanksgiving - those are big words for saying sorry to God, praising God, asking of God, and thanking God. We can also pray the same way!
Science - We started learning about the different animal groups this week. First, we learned the characteristics of a mammal and watched some videos from http://kids.sandiegozoo.org/animals
Next Week:
Bible Memory: “The Lord is faithful to all his promises and loving toward all he has made.” Psalm 145:13
Spelling Words: hurt, verse, fern, dirt, burn, first, bird, turn, her girl, great, again, who
