Thanksgiving Week
What took place this past week?
† The fourth graders learned lots about the states of matter by working on a webquest with Miss Pamperin. Much of their time was spent at the BBC site called Bitesize.
† In P.E. they were learning and/or practicing turning a jumprope and to jump into the turning rope. They all looked like they were having fun.
† If your child has been juggling around the house, that would be my fault. We spent several days learning from The Jim Show. He calls it, Learning to Juggle in 3 Easy Steps. They really worked hard!
This coming week…
† All-School worship will be on Wednesday morning.
† It's a short week. Class gets out on Wednesday at 11:40.
† Emanuel has Thanksgiving worship services on Wednesday, November 24 at 7:00 PM and at 9:30 AM.

What's up?
• The fourth graders researched what immigrants experienced at Ellis Island.
• Check out the student work page of the classroom website to see their oral presentations.
• The movies went on in QuickTime format.
• The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe turned out to be a musical. Because of time constraints, there were parts of the book that either were changed or dropped entirely. It gave us a chance to compare the book to the live performance.
• The last story that the children wrote had an animal as the main character. Their stories were delightful to hear. It's the one chance that the students get to sit on the "teacher stool" in front of the room.
This coming week:
• The fourth graders will be working on a webquest in conjunction with the "matter" chapter in the science book.
• Art class will have a project teaching the warm and cool colors.
• Enrichment will find the students learning to juggle. (At least that's the plan as this blog is being written.)
• We will be starting to learn sections for Christmas program very soon.
• Miss Ladwig gets to teach math this week. :)

Hebrews 4:12
For the word of God is living and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart.

Odds and Ends…Sunday, November 7
This past week:
1. We finished the "A" unit of our science book, which was life science. Miss Pamperin started the "B" unit, which is physical science.
2. In conjunction with studying the Northeast region of the United States, we started working on an Ellis Island webquest. Each group of students has had to research what it was like traveling to the United States in the early 1900's and what it was like to come through Ellis Island as an immigrant from Europe.
3. The fourth graders wrote and orally presented a fictional story that stressed the three main story elements (character, setting, and plot). The main character had to be an animal, and that animal had to have a problem that needed solving.
4. We worked on memorizing songs for church and grandparents' day.
This coming week:
1. On Tuesday we are headed to see The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe at the Grand Opera House in Oshkosh. The book was read to them earlier this school year. I hope to have time to compare the book and the play.
2. The Ellis Island projects will be presented live on Thursday.
3. Wednesday is a 1:35 dismissal.
4. Friday's mission presentation will be via Skype. We will have the opportunity to hear straight from the missionary in Taiwan.
5. We are looking forward to Friday's activities.
May the LORD bless your week.
