Mrs. Eckstrand’s Room

This week our Jesus story is about Lydia. Lydia sold purple cloth, the most expensive kind. She and her friends met Paul, an apostle of Jesus. Paul taught Lydia and her friends about Jesus. Lydia and her friends were moved by the Holy Spirit working faith in their hearts and they were baptized. The Holy Spirit still works faith in our hearts as we rejoice in our Baptism. "Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved", Acts 16:30 is our Memory Treasure.

In Social Studies we looked at maps and how to use the map key.

In Science we planted some peppers to see if we can get them to grow.

In Movement we are swinging for the fences with some batting skills. Keep your eye on the ball...

Preschool: We keep reviewing our letters and numbers as we finish filling out our binder.

Kindergarten: We keep getting better at addition in Math. In Reading Golly got hurt and needs to go to the Vv Vet!

Mrs. Utsch’s Room

In 1st grade Math we wrote and told time to the hour and half hour. In Reading we associated ow and ou with /ou/, read and spelled words with the /ou/, used rhyming ou and ow words to complete sentences, and read words with the prefix re-.

In 2nd grade Math we identified and drew 3-Dimensional and 2-Dimensional shapes, identified the angles in 2-Dimensional shapes, and sorted 2-Dimensional shapes by the number of sides and angles. In Reading class, we read and spelled words with the long oo sound; with the spelling patterns of ew, oo, ou, ui, and u_e, and wrote words with the suffix -able to complete sentences.

In 3rd grade Math we used basic facts and patterns to multiply multiples of 10 and 100, multiplied 2 and 3-digit numbers, and modeled division problems with remainders. In Reading we are reading the novel “The Mouse and The Motorcycle” by Beverly Cleary.

In Religion we heard how Jesus appeared to his disciples. Jesus comforted his disciples by appearing to them, and we gladly learn God’s Word that comforts us with the news of our risen Savior. Thomas believed that Jesus had risen when he saw Jesus with his own eyes. Through his Word, Jesus provides the help we need to believe in him. We ask God to use his Word to strengthen our faith and remove all doubts.
