Mrs. Bernhardt's First Grade: May 10, 2019

This week we studied Jesus Ascension, the Great Commission, and Pentecost.
Wow that is quite a week! Jesus went back to heaven to prepare a place for us,
Jesus then gave us our jobs, to Go and Tell, to Baptize and Teach.
He promised to ALWAYS be WITH US.
He promised to send a helper, the Holy Spirit.
The Holy Spirit gives us the power to GO, TELL, BAPTIZE, and TEACH!
We have an awesome God.

A LOOK AHEAD:

Memory: Third Article of the Apostle's Creed
Religion: stories of the early church
Spelling: lesson 31 (this will be our last test)
Grammar: writing with adjectives
Math: subtraction facts

To help prevent the summer academic slide... I will be having a summer reading camp. This camp will focus on maintaining on grade level reading and writing. Each session will include reading, writing, and an activity. It will be held on Tuesdays in the mornings. I like to keep the sessions small.

I plan on having two sessions, 9-10:15 and 10:30-11:45. The sessions will be on June 18, July 16, July 23, and July 30. (note I am not having the session on July 2)

You may sign up for some or all of the weeks. The cost will be $15.00 a week. If you are interested and would like to sign up please go to the google doc form and put your name on the time and date you would like to attend.
