August 24, 2012

We will shine for Jesus!
Check out our art display in the lobby of school.

This week we learned about how God created the world and everything in it in six days. While some scientists dispute the biblical account of the six-day creation, it is important for us to understand that God can do anything.  We put our trust in Him and in His Word. This week we will continue learn about how God always watches over us and protects us. 

A Look Ahead:
Religion:  The Flood
Memory: Psalm 46:1
Reading:  We have spent the whole week learning about our Literacy Centers.  This week we will continue to practice them so we can work at our centers independently.
Grammar: Sentences, focusing on word order
Spelling:  Lesson 2
Phonics:  Hearing sounds in a sequence
Writing: Sentences
Math:  Continue review of numbers, begin ordering and matching
Science: First TEST WEDNESDAY over A2-A17 Living/nonliving
Social Studies:  Learning from each other
Art:  Piet Mondrain

It was great to get a chance to talk to you at Back to School Night.  I want to thank you for making your child's education a priority and thank your for the sacrifices you make to have your child in this Christian environment.  Please read through the blue folder as I wasn't able to go into a lot of the details that are included.  If you have any questions please contact me.

We took our first spelling test today and you can see the test in your child's Friday Folder.  This was a practice test and I didn't record the grade.  I will begin recording the grades next week.  Please look at how the tests are graded.  The sentence must have all words spelled correctly, begin with a capital letter,  have no other capital letters, and end with an end mark. 
I will not be marking reversals and capital letters on the word portion but I will remind them to use lower case letters.  I will start marking these wrong once we have done a few tests.

Fundraiser Order Packets are Due SEPTEMBER 4

Thank you for those who volunteered to clean the room.  I hope to have the schedule done and emailed to you next week.

Please send in a family picture (3x5 or 4x6), we will be using them in Religion this week.

Please make sure your child's gym shoes are in his/her backpack.  We had a couple kiddos who were not able to participate in P.E. today because they did not have gym shoes.  

This has been a great week.  Your children are doing such a good job of learning our classroom routines.  Ask them about centers and check out the pictures of our first few centers, mileage club, and other activities this week!


Have a wonderful weekend.  Please set aside time to worship and praise our AWESOME CREATOR!!
