Thankful for You!
Sing psalms, hymns and spiritual songs with gratitude in your hearts to God.
Colossians 3:16
Did you know I have a blog? If you want to read my most recent post on Gratitude, click Here! I am so thankful for all of you that have helped me feel welcome this first week. This truly is a wonderful, Christ-filled, Victory-ious family!
Thank you to those who joined me in our first Coffee and Conversations! It was fun meeting more families in the school. Didn't make the first one? There will be more in the coming months!
Vocabulary Boosters
A large vocabulary can help your child turn into a better reader and writer! Resources for Educators suggests:
- Keep your ears open. When you and your youngster go places, listen for the words you hear. Maybe a water describes an entree or a dentist asks about molars. Use context clues to figure out what they mean by the way they are used!
- Go beyond nouns. Help your youngster add adjectives and verbs to vocabulary. Model this by letting your child hear you comment on the ball that soars or the runner who sprints.
Time for a Story
One way to help your child grow spiritually is to model the importance of Bible reading. Build reading skills, help promote the love of books, and spend quality time together by reading the Bible together!
Read regularly. Try to read 10-15 minutes...perhaps before bedtime for a peaceful end to the day.
Let your child participate. Ask your child to turn the pages while you read. Also, your child can finish sentences. Go slowly and ask thoughtful questions.
Be playful. You can use different voices for different characters! This is fun when reading familiar Bible stories together.
Spend time in prayer.
