News and Notes for September 25th-29th

Christian Character Formation: How can God’s mercy help you do what is right even when you’ve done something really wrong?

Our focus word this week is Justice: God's power to help us do what is right according to his word.

Memory Work
Psalm 51:10-12
Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right[a] spirit within me.
11 Cast me not away from your presence, and take not your Holy Spirit from me.
12 Restore to me the joy of your salvation, and uphold me with a willing spirit.

Science: We will be starting part 2 of our soil investigation.  Our focus question is: "What causes big rocks to break down into smaller pieces?"  We will be doing more experiments and adding to our notebooks in class.  It is very important for your child to be keeping their notebooks up to date in class and participating in our experiments and discussions.  

Social Studies: We will spend about 1 more week doing mostly science in my classroom and then switch back to a Social Studies topic.  Our Social Studies content for now is reviewing things on our map skills and starting some basic Missouri History.  



Book Orders need to be submitted by September 27th

You may choose to ride the bus, follow the bus, or meet us there.  They will have specific parking spaces for us; parking is limited so if you can carpool that would be much appreciated.
