Faith Studies Update from Mrs. Peery
We are having fun studying the New Testament in fourth grade Faith Studies! The students enjoyed playing Holy Week Trivia and creating Hosanna Prayers as we prepared for Easter. Students also participated in a Scripture Easter Egg Hunt, in small groups. Each group found the scripture verses from the Easter story from one of the gospels. The groups put their story in order and compared their story with the other groups. As a class we listed the similarities and differences between the stories found in Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. After Easter we are reading the stories of times when Jesus appeared to his disciples following the resurrection. We are learning that even when we don’t see God, God is present with us. I have truly enjoyed teaching fourth grade Faith Studies this year. We are looking forward to a great end of the year together.
Classroom Library Books
We are asking each student and family to do a book hunt at your house to see if you can locate any books from our classroom library. I was cleaning out my own darling daughter's bookshelf and found NINE books that belong to Ms. Melvin! I'm betting that there are some books from our classroom library lurking in your homes as well. Check under beds, on bookshelves, on bedside tables, etc. We appreciate your help in getting them all back to school for next year's students to enjoy.
Sandwich Deli Writing Project
This project will make your student think outside the bun! Groups of students will work together to dream up a delicious sandwich. They will write a descriptive paragraph that will cause their readers to drool. This will require students to use sensory language to entice the reader to choose their sandwich. Using arts supplies found in our classroom and your homes, they will also create a model of the sandwich. This project will culminate with all the faculty, staff, and 5th grade students voting on the winner of the contest.
Summer Noticing Notebook
The noticing book is a place to journal, record, and take notes during the summer months. The noticing books will be used on the first day of school next year! We ask that all rising students in grades 1-5 purchase a simple composition book by Monday, June 2 and bring it to school so we can launch this process in the classrooms.
