A peek into our week
We had another Fun and Full week of learning!
Math- Our Number Sense focus this week was on skip counting. We focused on multiples of 2, 5, and 10. I want to encourage all of you to play the "Multiples Games" (your kiddos can teach you how to play) with your children. Please focus on 3's and 4's for next week. This basic skill will lay the foundation for multiplication and factoring later on down the road. Just think about how easy it was for you to learn your 2's, 5's, and 10's in multiplication.
Bible - We focused on Self Control this week. We were able to bring this into every part of our day. The children are really working hard on using their Bible's Table of Contents to help them find and highlight scripture.
Social Studies - Rules and Responsibilities went hand in hand with Bible this week! I love to hear how the children are learning these skills at home as well when they share their chores!!! I think I may need to bring some of them home with me!ELA -
**Paying for Field Trips
You will be happy to know that this year you will not have to write an extra check or come up with cash to send in with field trip permission slips!!! Rhonda can now draft it from your account. We will be trying this for the first time for our Sam Davis Heritage Days trip. Rhonda said it will be drafted on the 25th. Let me know if you have any questions about this. Please look for a field trip permission slip to be coming home in folders in the next week.
**Fall Festival and Auction
This fun day (and very big fundraiser for our school) is right around the corner. We need EVERYONE'S help to make this day a success. Please remember to send in the check off sheet that was sent home when you get everything completed. I have created a special 3 point dojo for the returned sheets!!!
