- - In religion this week we read about Saul, who at first was not a believer of God. That changed when God came and spoke to Saul and showed Saul that He is our true God and loves us. Saul then believed in God, changed his name to Paul, and began spreading the word of God to others.
- This week in reading and writing we finished up our unit on poetry and are now reviewing different story elements we have worked on this year. We began be reviewing the parts of a story and identifying character traits.
- In math we have been exploring numbers to 1,000! We have been adding 3 digit numbers, reading 3 digit numbers, and finding patterns in 3 digit numbers. Next week we will subtract 3 digit numbers and have a math test on Thursday, June 9.
