This week we read two very very funny books together. Both written by Mo Willems titled, "Don't Let the Pigeon Stay Up Late" and "Don't Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus."
We also finished the story of Joseph! What a neat story! I really enjoyed teaching it to this class as they sat on the edge of their seat until the end of the story. We clearly saw how God was with Joseph every time in his life, and how God is with us too!
In Math we finished unit 3 with a test. We have covered telling time to the half hour, counting dimes nickels and pennies, skip counting by 2's and 5's and well as identifying patterns.
Walkathon:
This Saturday is the Walkathon!! If you have registered to walk here are some good reminders. Please arrive at school between 8:00-8:30 so you can be checked in and ready to walk by 9am. For K-2 walkers, if you think they are unable to walk the whole 17km, you can choose to take a school bus from OCSI to Zampa and then walk back to school. This way, the student can still get enough stamps AND cross the finish line to get their prize. If you think they can walk the whole 17km, they are welcome to but it they are unable to complete all the checkpoints, they will not get a prize at the finish line.
It would be a good idea to bring a water bottle, hat, a rain coat just in case, a towel, some snacks, and anything else you think they will need on the way.
I will be waiting for you at the finish line where everyone is invited to celebrate with a Finish Line Fun Festival with games. It will be a lot of fun! Looking forward to seeing you there!

Bible Memory Verse: "Shout for joy to the Lord, all the earth. Worship the Lord with gladness; come before him with joyful songs. Know that the Lord is God. It is he who made us, and we are his; we are his people, the sheep of his pasture. Enter his gates with thanksgiving and his courts with praise; give thanks to him and praise his name." Psalm 100:1-4
Student of the Week:
We would like to start a new fun bulletin board titled, "Student of the Week!" I started it this week with my own spotlight. I decorated a paper and added some pictures. Each student who does this will also get to Show and Tell their spotlight and pictures with their classmates on the following Friday. This week, I gave it to Luka. I'm excited to see what he'll bring back!
Here is the example of mine.
