Welcome to the new school year.  This is my first chance I have had to blog.  These are busy times.  I am enjoying getting to know your children.  I think they are all meeting new friends and adapting to the changes 4th grade brings.  We are starting the year off in Religion with The Creation.  I am teaching the students how to use the Bibles to do searches.  They have been shown how the Bible is divided into the Old and New Testaments.  They have also been shown all the books of each part.  They now understand how the numbers stand for Chapters and Verses.  We opened our Religion books and started reading Chapter 1.  There will be a short quiz over Chapter 1 when we finish our study of it.
