Bible:  This week we took a look at some of Jesus' teachings while He and his disciples ministered to others. Thursday evening was an absolutely beautiful time of worship!  












We spent some quiet time in prayer this morning.






ELA:  We had fun reading a variety of camping themed books with our reading partners while discussing things like the main idea, supporting details, characters, setting, and plot.






Math:  We are measuring in centimeters! We're doing a great job using our measuring tools as well as figuring out the difference between two objects' lengths.







Outdoor Learning:  We're learning how to map! We're drawing keys to add to our maps. We've mapped the grass pond.






We also mapped our outdoor classroom.  





Finally, we mapped the backyard.  





Star Student: Leland was our Star Student this week. It was fun to look at his pictures and poster! We learned that Leland is really good at driving and and wants to make and drive machines when he grows up. Leland, you are a special child of God and we are thankful you're a part of our classroom family!
