Welcome to Grade 5A! It's hard to believe that the summer is already over. I hope that you could enjoy time spent with your family and friends in God's grand creation. I am looking forward to getting to know you all better, and am excited to join you in your journey of being equipped to shine for Christ in this world.
This year our school theme is "The Work of Your Hand." This theme is based on isaiah 64:8 where it says, "Yet you, Lord, are our Father. We are the clay, you are the potter; we are all the work of your hand." We will be unpacking this theme in our morning devotions and , if permissable, school assemblies.
Feel free to contact me if you have any questions, concerns, or good news about your child. Please know that I hold up your child in my prayers.
Be blessed,
Mr. P. Veldhuis
Class News
Greetings from Grade 5A! We have had an interesting and productive week in our class.
On Thursday we participated in the "Ride For Refuge" walkathon. Although the weather was cloudy and rainy, this did not dampen our spirits. In our six kilometre walk we made sure that drivers and pedestrians knew for what we were walking The class did a phenomenal job in raising over $1 000 for this organization. Super job, class! With the funds raised, it is our prayer that new refugees arriving in Hamilton will be given the neceeary resources to make a fresh start in our city. Remember to bring in any last pledge forms and money to school on Monday.
Our Bible classes had us discussing the covenant God made with Moses and the people of Israel at Mount Sinai. In the "conditional covenant" God promised that the people of Israel would be His "treasured possession" if they obeyed Him fully and followed His commandments. We learned that the 10 commandments were given to the Israelites as a way of fulfilling their part of this covenant. Through our discussions we realized that the sprinkling of blood to seal this covenant foreshadows the great sacrifice of Jesus on Calvary's cross. A study of God's covenant with David will take place next week.
In math we were kept busy learning how to multiply whole numbers by multiples of ten (10,100, 1000). We also started to learn how to multiply two digit numbers by two digits. We will contiue working on this skill in the coming weekContinued practice of multiplication facts to 12 at home is encouraged to solidify quick recall of these facts.
Our social classes had us learning about the different parts of our federal government. Within the three branches of the federal system - executive, legislative, and judiciary - we can see how the parliamentary system of government works. In. our discussion of how laws are made, we realize that it takes a long time for an idea to become a law. A socials test is slated for this coming Wednesday, October 27. A review sheet was handed out on Wednesday and is also available below under "Review Sheets."
A recent test in grammar and music as well as "Covenant Promises" evaluation forms are coming home in the Friday Folders. Please inquire about your daughter/son's results.
Remember to spend time this weekend to study for the upcoming socials test!
I am looking forward to another wonderful week with you!
Peace,
Mr. Veldhuis
