Our Christmas Memories 2014

More presentations from GaryNelson

4th Grade Grade Chapel

This week we lead our school in chapel. We each got an opportunity to read or lead for part of our service, and we also did a short skit called, “Body Parts.” It was a strong message about how we need to honor and respect each other and in so doing, we glorify God by our words and actions. We can invite others to become part of the Body of Christ (Us!)

Since it fits so well with our church's theme, Pastor Schwichtenberg asked us to video tape the skit for the congregation to see this Sunday in church.  

In Jesus. Becoming One, Reaching Many.

Durian, sticky rice and chopsticks.

We read The Last Dragon by Susan Miho Nunes in reading class this week.  During the week, Mr. Nelson treated us to some chopstick lessons, sticky rice, and a few other Asian delicacies.  Most of us didn't like the durian taffy.  It tasted like rotten, mushy, onions - really.

PACZKI DAY!

We celebrated the beginning of Lent just like many people in our area do. On the day before Ash Wednesday we ate Paczkis (that's pronounced "punch-keys"), dense, yummy, filled donuts that are sold by ALL the donut and pastry shops around here.  Paczkis come from Poland and since, years ago, many Polish immigrant families settled in SE Michigan, the tradition continues today (and we like that!)  We say "smaczny"!
  

We LOVE Math!

To celebrate Valentine's this week, our class made heart baskets to contain any Valentines we receive during our party.  It was a not-too-easy task to weave the paper loops into functional containers, but we did it.  Someone discovered that the baskets made awesome-looking hats, so, of course, we all had to try it.  On Valentine's Day, we partnered up and did a hands-on activity which involved sorting, tabulating then figuring out fractions and their simplest forms.  We used Sweet Tart candy hearts! The last thing Mr. N told us to do is divide all our candy by two (to share them.). Candy in math class! Cool!!
