Happy Friday!
Sorry for the lapse in communication last week. I heard from the students and from Mrs. Hewitt that they had a fun week together! I was worried that they wouldn’t be excited to see me… but on Monday morning, they all ran to give me a hug! I missed them!
This week the 1st and 2nd graders had an amazing treat - Kid’s Club! The HS and MS students put on a Vacation Bible School type program for the kids. The students went to Bible time, music, crafts, and games on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. They had a blast! *clap clap* God’s promise *clap clap* is forever! Here’s some pictures:
Reading: We focused on Fables. Fables are stories where usually animals are the characters and they can teach us a lesson. We read some fun ones this week including The Tortoise and the Hare, The Fox and the Stork, The Ant and the Grasshopper, The Ugly Duckling, and The North Wind and the Sun. The interesting lesson we learned that almost every fable taught the readers to “BE KIND!” How great is that?
Math: Continued Chapter 6 with double digit addition and subtraction. We even learned how to add with regrouping!
Writing: We continued writing some poems this week! We wrote some acrostic poems and concrete poems (as well as some poems they wrote with Mrs. Hewitt last week. Today we wrote a variety of poems and picked our favorite to write and publish. Great job everyone!
