First Days of School, August, 16, 2013


 
This week we talked how God has a great plan for us. 
 A plan to give us a future in heaven with HIM!

     Enjoy this video from our first chapel.  The school is singing the refrain of our theme song.

We had a great first few days of school and I look forward to doing more academics next week.  This will be a short parent letter because I will share a lot of information at PARENT'S BACK TO SCHOOL NIGHT, TUESDAY, AUGUST 20 at 6:30.  

It is very important that at least one parent attend the BACK TO SCHOOL NIGHT.  I would like for you to attend the first and second sessions with me in our first grade room.  In the past we have had a separate night to go over reading information, but we would like to try to do it all on BACK TO SCHOOL NIGHT.  (Meeting in my room from 6:30-7:20)  If you have other kids you can attend the last session at 7:30.  This is for parents only no children please.

A quick look at next week:

               dayTuesday-Friday)

     Spelling: practice lesson 1

                        sight words: the, and
Spelling Dictation Sentence: The cat is fat.
Math: Review of numbers and shapes

I hope this will help you talk with your child about what we are doing next week in school.


Your child may bring a water bottle to school to drink during the day.  Please send a bottle that has a sippy type lid that pops up to keep spills to a minimum.

Monday we have PE so please have your child's clean gym shoes in his/her backpack.  The gym shoes need to be shoes that will not be worn outside and only worn inside at gym.  If you are reusing an old pair of shoes please scrub the bottom to make sure the shoes are clean and free from pebbles, bark, or dirt.  Thank You!


Please look in your child's green Friday Folder each week.  Please mark the church and Sunday school attendance and initial so that I know you have looked at the Friday Folder!  There isn't much homework in the green Friday Folder this week, but there is a very important note about the SCRIP-TOGETHER WE ARE BETTER, which is a very easy way to make money for our school.  Please read it carefully and buy your gift cards from Zion.

It has been an absolute pleasure getting to know your child this week and I look forward a terrific year.   I hope to see many of you in church this weekend.  Brayden C.'s mom is getting baptized this Saturday at Zion in the 5:00 service.  God's richest blessings to Lisa Cooseman!

Please enjoy a few pictures of our first days.  It will give you a small picture of our awesome 3 days :)  SEE YOU AT BACK TO SCHOOL NIGHT- TUESDAY, AUGUST 20, AT 6:30 !!
