This week in 1st grade:
Reading Strategy: Use your senses! When you read a book, use your 5 senses: hear the story, smell the story, taste the story, see the story, feel the story in your head!
Writing Strategy: Dialogue. Can you write a story where the characters are talking?
Math: We continue to study measurement. We are using a 6 inch ruler to measure things around our room. We also learned about estimation. We guessed before we measured.
Bible: We are continuing to study about the amazing life of Moses. We learned about the 10 plagues that God sent to the Egyptians because Pharaoh did not let the Israelites go free. We also heard the miraculous story of when God parted the waters of the Red Sea so the Israelites could cross on dry ground.

Bible Memory: All of Psalm 100!
Bible Memory: All of Psalm 100!
"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. For the Lord is good and his love endures forever; his faithfulness continues to all generations."
Traffic Patterns: If you have been on campus any time soon, you would have noticed that we are going under construction. As a result, we need to change some of our traffic results. We will start practicing for it on Monday November 25. Please make sure you look at the below photos and get familiar with the new patters. Anyone coming to campus now, needs to park in Zone 1 or 3 NOT in the visitor’s parking lot.
