Bug of the Week

Bible Memory

Next Week

Bible: We will talk about the Parable of the Sower. We will talk about ways that we can be like the seed in good soil. Math: We will continue learning about time and money. If you have time to sort coins and talk about them at home it would be great as it is hard for the children to tell the difference between the coins. Science: We will discuss how to predict weather and will also talk about the seasons. Reading: We will be reading The Mitten by Jan Brett and our comprehension focus will be story retelling. We will also compare and contrast The Mitten to The Hat. Handwriting We will be reviewing how to write the slanted letters m, n, r, i, and s. We will continue to practice writing our last names. Please also be working on this at home with your child.

Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path. Psalm 119:105

Thursday, February 27 will be our K-1 Music Program at 6:30 pm. You will need to drop your child off at our classroom (room 217) at 6:00 pm. Please remember to have your child dressed nicely (no jeans and wearing a green shirt). The room will not be open after the concert so they should leave their jackets and other things with you. Please pick your child up in our classroom after our portion of the concert. Thanks! If you have time to sort coins and talk about them at home it would be great as it is hard for the children to tell the difference between the coins. Many students could use the extra practice.
