Newsletter December 10th-14th
Math: This week we will start with a review Monday and a test Tuesday, December 12th. Then we will do an investigation with Percents. Thursday and Friday we will work on adding and subtracting with more than 3 digits. Also, I am trying a new way to present lessons in math. Three days this week students have watched me teach a lesson that I previously recorded, take video notes, and complete practice problems. They have also been able to start and most completed their homework in class. I am able to answer questions and they can each work at their own pace. I have linked the videos to MyKoob through YouTube. If you would like to see how the lesson is taught please feel free to watch me teach!
Reading: Our theme this week is "Bright Ideas." We will be learning about the lives of Thomas Edison and Benjamin Franklin and how they made the world a "brighter" place.

One project, a manger scene, we will take with us when we visit the Little Sisters of the Poor on Monday, December 17th. Look for these Christmas projects as we prepare our hearts for the coming King this season.
Character Development: This week we discussed comfortable and uncomfortable emotions or feelings. We listened to a story about a boy, Toby, who had uncomfortable feelings that he bottled up inside of him for one day and then felt like he was going to explode. We talked about healthy ways to express your feelings such as talking to a friend or an adult, drawing a picture, and writing in a journal.
Chapel Buddies: This week the fourth graders did a wonderful job helping the Kindergarten classes at Santa's Workshop.

The concert will be a concert of Christian Family music performed by Jenny Williamson and the group Arison. They are from Nashville and have performed all over the country, including performances at many Lutheran Schools. Below you can click on the you tube link for a sample of their music. This is a free concert. We will have a door offering and the proceeds will be going to CCLS-U to help with the expenses of building a dormitory and a medical clinic.
We are looking for a few more sponsors for the concert as well, so that all of the donations can go to CCLS-U. For a donation of $50 or more, you will receive reserved seating for the concert and a big thank you from the children of CCLS. Please contact Janet Leet, 314-961-6595 or jleet@ccls-stlouis.org, if you would be interested in being a sponsor.
