A Peek Into Our Week
ELA- We enjoyed The book "The Bad Case of the Tattle Tongue" and discussed the difference between reporting and tattling. This is still a challenging distinction for many of us!
Another book we enjoyed together was "My heart Will Not Sit Down". What a powerful read and we had great discussion with our Turn and Talk partners and shared what our hearts will not sit down for. The children were able to parallel this story with the widow who gave all she had from Mark Chapter 12.
We read a poem about Back to School and several activities that went along with it.
Math- Number Sense, Number Sense, Number Sense!!!! Odd and Even and Place Value. Vocab. words: digit, value, difference, sum, addends.
Bible- 1 Timothy 4:12 has been our key verse this week. We have read, marked, sung, and discussed what it means to us. See if your child can recite it to you... writing His words on our hearts!!! We also enjoyed our carpet devos and several of the kids took me up on a challenge to find a quiet place and "think on good things" (Phil. 4:8) for 5 minutes. I loved listening to them share how special this was for them!
Thank You!
It was so nice to meet with several of you on Tuesday evening.
Thank you to everyone who picked up a wish list "cupcake".
Thank you to everyone who signed up to help with one of our parties. I still have room for more party helpers and I need 4 parents to be the party planner for each of these. Let me know if you can help out! Be the 1st to email and claim a party! I promise it is simple. I will give you a list of helpers and you plan and communicate with your helpers. Our parties will be fun, child friendly, and SIMPLE!
And thank you for all the book fair gift certificates. I was able to select several wonderful books for our classroom.
One more thing...
A few of us still need a set of headphones to use during iPad time.
Thank You!
