Hi, everyone!!! Can you believe that we've made it to the end of April? Just 4 more quick weeks until SUMMER VACATION! Unbelievable!!! This week sure has been FULL of learning! Here are some highlights of what we did:*Bible - We began learning Ephesians 6:10-18, and we talked about what this passage means.
*Reading - We continued to do LOTS of silent independent reading and to record the reading strategies we're using in our notebooks!
*Reading/Social Studies - We began a new unit called "Our Country and Its People" all about America! This week we read a selection called New Hope about a family that lived in America during pioneer times.
*Math - We spent quite a bit of time on multiplication this week! We reviewed 0s, 1s, 2s, 3s, 4s, and 5s. Next week we will spend the ENTIRE WEEK learning our 6s. Please be sure to practice at home each night! Next Thursday, we will have a timed test on our 6s!!!
*Writing - We continued to write friendly letters to our classmates!!!

WE WILL CONTINUE TO FOCUS ON LEARNING OUR MULTIPLICATION FACTS THE REST OF THIS YEAR! NEXT WEEK WE'LL LEARN OUR SIXES!!!!!
This week at school, I've been thinking a lot about the verse the children are learning. Sometimes, it's easy to forget that there's a whole spiritual world out there that we can't see with our eyes, but it's even more real than the world we live in. If we're not careful, we can become so easily distracted by the things going on in our lives and around us that we fail to focus on what's important. We need to make sure that we "...put on the full armor of God so that [we] can take [our] stand against the devil's schemes..."(Ephesians 6:10).
Have a WONDERFUL weekend!
In Christ's Name,
