The final blog entry!

As a final blog activity, I want you to comment on the blog by thanking the members of your class.  I encourage you to say something meaningful to all 18 of your classmates.  If you see a "spiritual gift" in someone, let them know and encourage them.

There should be no one in the class without multiple comments.  Make sure that happens.

The Battle at Kruger

Here is the video we watched this morning with the battle between the lions and the wildebeest.  Imagine the lions and crocodile representing temptation and sin.  Imagine the wildebeests being us.  You are the baby. 

What a powerful message of how we need the support of others to help us live our lives for Jesus

The Gospel in 4 Minutes

I was thinking, as we finish off this year, that it would be of cardinal importance to make sure that everyone of you were presented the gospel.  My prayer, as your teacher, is that our entire class would know Jesus as their Lord and Savior and have life in His name.  Then, my hope is that you would take this "good news" and share it with the world. 

Here is the G.O.S.P.E.L. presented and explained in 4 minutes.  It's GOOD stuff!

 

Therefore encourage one another and build each other up, just as in fact you are doing.

1 Thessalonians 5:11

As we approach the final week of school, let's encourage one another and build each other up.  I know there are many of us who are struggling to finish this year strong.  By ourselves, we are weak, but together, we are strong.  And, remeber, we can do all things through Christ who gives us strength! 

Leave a comment to encourage one another.  This might get us to 15,000 pageviews too! 

Sound of Music - Fact or Fiction

Hi 5th Grade,

I hope you enjoyed watching "The Sound of Music."  It is a perfect example of the genre of historical fiction.

Check out the link below if you want to know about the real Von Trapp family.

Reducing Fractions Link

Hi 5th Grade,

Congratulations to those who have successfully mastered reducing fractions.  For the rest of you, I am providing for you - again - the link to the worksheets.  I would recommend that you practice tonight and hopefully you'll get your 18 or more tomorrow.  Remember, you will need to redo these until you have mastered this concept.
