Week of April 23rd

HE IS RISEN!

HE IS RISEN INDEED!

ALLELUIA! 

Happy Easter! I hope you all enjoyed a happy and healthy Easter break. 

My family and I had a wonderful time celebrating our Risen Savior. 

Here's what's in store for this short week. 

CHRISTIAN CHARACTER FORMATION PROJECT 

This week we will read the heart of God’s eternal story of justice for us, His children. Before break, we saw Jesus dead after being unjustly executed. Jesus, however, went willingly to His death as the only perfect sacrifice for our sins. In Matthew 28, we see Jesus risen again, the triumphant Savior. 

PHONICS and SPELLING 

This week we will read, sort and spell words with the or, ore, and oar spelling sounds and patterns.The test will be on Thursday before Grandparent’s Day festivities. 

READING SKILLS and STRATEGIES 

This week we will review how "reading is thinking" as we read various poems and discuss their meaning.

GRAMMAR and WRITING 

Sometimes writing poetry can be challenging, but these kiddos are up for the challenge. As we continue to use strategies real poets use to write poems, the students will also start making decisions that strengthen the meaning of their poems.  

It's been fun to watch the children notice how some "grammar rules" can be be broken with poetry, but they will continue to work on using everything they know to make their sentences or phrases look and sound right.
