This week we learned about God giving His people the 10 Commandments.  Even when we work at it we cannot keep God's commandments.  God loves us, takes care of us, forgives us, and saves us with the work of JESUS!  Jesus summed up the commandments with our memory work for this week.  May we love our wonderful God and strive to keep His commands and remember Jesus died to forgive us and give us new life.

A Look Ahead:

Religion: 12 Spies and Joshua  
Memory:Joshua 1:9
Writing: Question sentences
Phonics/Spelling: short e words with three sounds

Math: Number partners for 10 and subtraction

Science: plant experiments

Reading: exploring fiction and non fiction texts, working on decoding and comprehension in realistic fiction

Art: Pablo Picasso

Our class has sponsored 445 meals! Our goal for our class is 1,000 meals! As a school we have given $2,600 in offerings toward the goal of $15,000 meals.

Dr. Ernstmeyer, Head of School at LHS, shared with us the message of NO FEAR, Jesus is with us always.

Dr. Ernstmeyer asked who was afraid of snakes.  The class knows I do not like snakes.  

During indoor recess all of the snakes in the STEAM center found themselves on my desk!
