News and Notes from 4th Grade March 12th-16th

Graded papers were sent home on Friday. Please take a few moments to look over your child's graded papers to see how they are doing on their school work and read any important notes from school.

Character Formation Lesson: Peter Denies Jesus
Courage: God's Power for you to overcome fear.
Read Mark 14: 26-31; 66-72
Focus Question: How will you develop the courage not to deny Jesus under any circumstance?

Memory Work (ESV): 
Psalm 16:8 "I have set the Lord always before me; because he is at my right hand, I shall not be shaken."
Psalm 16:11
"You make known to me the path of life; in your presence there is fullness of joy; at your right hand are pleasures forevermore."

Spelling: Five spelling words were given on Tuesday, on the back of the grammar calendar. There will a test on Tuesday.  On their test, students will be required to correctly write a meaningful sentence using each spelling word; spelling and grammar will be checked for each sentence.  They can practice and prepare sentences before Monday.  We are glad to proofread and discuss sentences with students if they have them prepared by Friday of each week.
Monday's Test is Week 9
Spellings Words starting 3/13 are Week 10

Reading: Students are working in their reading notebook to document their reading time. We are working on building reading stamina.  Students will be using reading logs to record the time and number of pages they are reading during one sitting.  Students are expected to record a reading time each day at school and five per week at home.  We expect them to read for at least 20 minutes (or longer) each time they log. By Monday of each week a parent needs to initial their student's reading log. Students should log at least 10 readings this week.

Science: We are still learning about Energy in class our focus is changing from circuits to magnetic energy.

Social Studies: Students will take a "tour" of the states in the midwest.

Operetta Practice: Mrs. Killian sent home parts for the operetta. Please help your child prepare for their part in the operetta.
