September 9, 2016


This week we learned about God protecting Noah and how God's rainbow reminds us of His promise to care and love us.  God used the flood to wash the earth; the world was given a new life.  God uses His Word and the waters of Baptism to wash our sins away and gives us the gift of eternal life.  I am thankful for the for rain and relief from the heat. Remember God keeps His promises to us!
A song from Chapel that reminds us of our Bible verse this week.

We will start our guided reading groups next week. We will continue working independently at centers and the next step is to start reading with me. 
Please work with your child each week on spelling.  Practice making words with the 'chunk' for the week.
Practice the spelling words and remember there will be 2 words that use the pattern, chunk, for the week.
Also practice the new sight words and the review sight words.


If your child is not able to count to 100 please work on that with them.
I will be testing in 2 weeks.
I have finished the first testing of HIGH FREQUENCY WORDS.
Please look in the Friday Folder and work with your child on the highlighted words.
I will retest the first week in October.

Thank you Farmers Insurance for the teacher bag of goodies.  I had entered a drawing and won!

Look for the Bobcat Shuffle information in the Friday Folder.  This is a fun fundraiser!


Your child's school pictures are in the Friday Folder.


We have gone to Library 2 times.  Remember on library day is Thursday.  Each child may check out 2 books as long as the books from the week before are turned in.  Books maybe turned in any day and must be returned on Thursday.


In reading next week we are talking about good reading habits.  It is always good to drop the old bad habits and start new good habits.

I encourage you to work on good worship habits.  Let your child know and see that God and worship is a priority in your life.  I hope to see you in church and Bible study this weekend!

A Sneak Peek at our week:


In Social Studies the students learned about each other and rules at school.










We made school rules posters



 
We learned that words need to be in the correct order for a sentence to make sense.
We love library station!


We put sentences together.


We sorted real and silly words.


We are getting so good at lining up!


We used the sound board and chunk to build words.

We are learning about warm and cool colors and optical illusion art with the help of Victor Vaserely.








Check out our final work at the end of the blog.


We worked with our writing partners to tell our small moment.


We touch and tell our story on the paper.

We then sketched our story.  Next week we write!


We learned about Noah and put together picture cards.
I hope your child told you the story using the picture cards.  Ella would like to share the story with you.





We have begun to keep track of our offering, this week we gave enough for one Bible ($11) and had $1.75 left.
Mrs. Smith's class has bought 4 Bibles so far!!
 We became plant parents and we can't wait for our little sprouts!


Indoor recess, Move, Move, FREEZE!

This is good to practice at home.  It makes our brains think!
