This week in religion we drew a portrait of our Mother Mary. It took us a while to do them. It needed a lot of hard work and our class was ready. We looked up pictures on the iPads and drew. The 4th and 5th graders are singing together for the Christmas CD The Madeleine School is making and on Wednesday our class went to the church and sang 3 songs. When our class heard a beat, we could sing it right away! This week we also learned the Lord's Prayer in sign language. We got with a partner and made up signs for the whole Glory Be prayer and shared with the class.
In math, we did a mid-chapter test, we have been studying really hard. The real test is next Tuesday. We worked on the commutative, associative and identity properties of addition. I hope you liked what we did this week...but what about next week?!

On Wednesday, we did a Mystery Skype with a class in Hammond, Indiana. We guessed where they lived by asking yes or no questions. All the fourth grade classes we are Skyping with are reading Pax by Sara Pennypacker, a book we are also reading. Our class has also been writing our Native American narrative stories. We are the main character and the main character is a child. All of us have been doing tons of research on the iPads, like the tribe culture, food, clothing and legends. Our class had a fantastic week! Hope you had done too!

The Fourth Grade class brought in 195 St. Stephens lunches this past Tuesday! Thank you for your support of this worthwhile ministry. I hope you have had a chance to look over the guidelines for our first book report due on Wednesday, November 2nd. There is a guide to the written part in the packet. This is a big project and should be worked on over the next couple of weeks. I suggested to the Fourth Graders that they spend some extra time reading their mystery novel this long weekend.
As Ana mentioned above, Chapter 2 test in math will be Tuesday. There will also be a religion test on Chapter 4 on Tuesday so look for the religion work book to come home on Monday to study.
Stay safe this weekend through the storm!
God Bless,
Jenn
