What a wonderful week we had! We had a pep assembly to send the varsity volleyball team off to state- the kids had a lot of fun cheering and giving high fives to the Bobcat mascot. We also had a lot of fun in the classroom this week. We learned about character traits and how a character can be defined by their appearance and also by their personality. The kids created a map to display some of their own character characteristics. On Friday the kids split up into book clubs to read a story, discuss the main character and their traits, and then design a poster to present to the class.

In religion this week, we learned about Samuel's call from God in the middle of the night, and about David and Saul. From these Bible stories, we are taught that through the good times and the bad, God is always there for us!
In honor of Veteran's Day next week, our class paired up with Mrs. Smith's class. They created an American flag painting (inspired by artist Jasper Johns), and then wrote letters to veterans thanking them for their service and sacrifices for our country. The paintings and letters will be mailed to veterans of the armed forces all around the country. It was so cool to see their heartfelt thanks portrayed in their letters, as well as their faith. Many of the kids included favorite bible verses, the truth of Jesus, and the words "I am praying for you" throughout their letters. What a great way to be a witness!
