Threes Are the Bees Knees!
Ms. Linda and Ms. Kathy's Class
Last Week's Shenanigans and Such...
We are still working each day on perfecting the Pledge of Allegiance, and 80% of the time, the kids stand up right away and put their right hand over their heart on the first attempt! This is good practice for knowing left from right! The next goal is to help them stand still and recite it correctly every time! You'd be surprised at how well they do it, even now! Ask them if you want a live demonstration. (You may have to whisper the words to bolster their memory.)
We also are pretty much nailing the Bible verse for this month, and last Wednesday, I actually had several volunteers who wanted to come up to the front of the circle, pretend to be Ms. Linda, and "teach" the verse to us. It was funny to see their enthusiasm and how well they remembered the words and motions! I'll try to film them sometime, and then figure out how I can add the video to this newsletter. That would be a neat addition, huh!
For those of you who deal with obedience issues, (or lack thereof), we have a mantra in class that we repeat over and over: "Slow Obey is NOT Okay!" If you need to borrow it for home use, it's a gentle reminder that they're very familiar with!
NEXT WEEK
We're delving into our Farm theme. I have tons of fun books, games, table activities, and other misc. ideas we plan to do with the kids. It's going to be LEGENDARY. Well, maybe not that famous, but your kids are sure going to enjoy it all!
Reminders:
Also, remember to write your child's name on anything and everything that you have them bring to school. It helps us to keep things sorted out correctly, without having to think too hard! haha!
