Happy Friday! I hope everyone is doing well on this last school day of January!
This Week:
Reading: Our focus for the week was “Tune into Interesting Words.” We have been learning about adjectives all week and how they are so fun to use when describing a noun!
We also learned some different ones like these:
We also read aloud some fun book with lots of interesting words! Fancy Nancy and the Napping House.
We wrote down other WOW words that we read or thought of throughout the week.
 |
| Can you say plume, stupendous, and fuchsia?? |
 |
| the DOZING dog, the COMFY bed, the WAKEFUL flea |
We wrote down other WOW words that we read or thought of throughout the week.
Math: We finished Unit 5! We learned about function machine and asked “What’s My Rule?” this week. It’s a fun way to think of addition and subtraction facts. We also learned about turn-around facts. We will learn more about that when we do fact families!
Bible: We learned all about Samuel and Saul this week! Samuel was chosen by God to be a judge for Israel. When the Israelites looked at their surrounding countries who all had kings, they wanted one too but they forgot that God was their king. “We want a king, we want a king!” So God let them have a king - Saul. Saul was good in the beginning but later began to disobey God’s directions. God said he would not make Saul king anymore. Next week, we will learn about the next king!
In one story, Samuel called all the people to come back to God. So all the Israelites were gathered at Mizpah when the mean Philistines heard that they were there and came to attack them. All the people prayed and right as the Philistines attacked, God sent thunder that sent them into confusion. When the Israelites won the battle, they set up a huge stone and they called it “Ebenezer” which means “God helped us.” So we made our own stones of Ebenezer!
Chapel: We had some special guest for chapel: the Covenant Players. They are actors who travel around doing play and sharing the Gospel. We got to watch 2 plays that both taught very important lessons.
