Friday News: 9/22

Here's a look at our week:

Reading: This week we worked on expanding our vocabulary. We looked for interesting words in our stories that we didn't know or that we want to use in our writing.

Writing: We focused on gathering more ideas for our writing. We learned that authors think about meaningful moments in their lives to make their stories.

Math: This week we took our Chapter 1 Test. We also started learning how to skip count by 2s, 5s, and 10s.

Bible: We finished the story of Joseph. We learned that God can take the bad things that happen to us and make them something good. We also learned how God saved His people from slavery in Egypt and showed His power.
