Although last week was a short week, there was a lot of learning going on!

Acting out Moses and the fiery bush...
"Published" writing
Studying apples...
Taking notes on Matter...
Matter Centers... So much fun while learning!
And of course, our field trip filled with so many memories!
RELIGION
The Bible is filled with so many "impossible" situations that appear to have no solution. This week we will explore more on Moses and the Israelites during some "hopeless situations," such as being slaves in Egypt for more than 400 years. We will discuss the 10 plagues, and the crossing of the Red Sea. Through all this bleakness, we will celebrate how God worked in mighty ways!
Memory Work
The Lord is my strength and my song. He has become my salvation. Exodus 15:2
SPELLING
This week in spelling we will review the "short o" and "long o" sounds. For "long o," we will focus on the o/consonant/silent e rule, as you notice in the spelling words.
BONUS word - favorite
Keep your eyes peeled for some changes with spelling words... Starting the week of October 5th I will be offering two lists of words. It will be up to YOU and your child to decide which list of words to know for the spelling tests. List one is "on level" words, and list two is "above level" words.

GRAMMAR
Now that we have become experts on the subjects and predicates, this week we are going to learn about combining two sentences that have the same subject or predicate using the word "and". The children will also start learning how to use quotation marks in dialogue.
WRITING
In writing we will begin "personal narratives". We will start the writing process by brainstorming our stores, and then turning our thoughts and ideas into stories with problems and solutions. Students will of course be encouraged to use everything they know about grammar in their writing!
SCIENCE
We will be wrapping up our study of MATTER with a quiz on Tuesday. Your children really worked hard in class last week, but I might encourage you to review the matter section of the science book with your child.
Later this week we will also begin studying forces and motion, and simple machines. It's going to be a busy week!
