Happy Mother’s Day to all the wonderful mom’s of 1.2 students. Thank you for the amazing job you are doing at raising your child. May you be showered with love to show how important and loved you are!

 

THANK YOU to all the parents who came out to join us for our Field Trip last week!! It was SOOO much fun!! The weather was perfect, we saw a lot of animals, and played hard at the wonder museum. Here are some photos and a video that Mrs. Gosin made!

This Week

Writing/ Reading: Since we just went to the zoo last week for our field trip, this week we started a research writing project. Every student picked an animal that they would like to learn more about. I helped supply them books and information from the internet about their animal. We decided to look for 4 things: Description of the animal, it’s habitat, it’s diet (food), and some fun facts. The students are doing a great job finding the information and compiling it onto a paper. What great researchers these students are! I bet many of them will grow up to be scientists!

Math: We took our Unit 8 test yesterday and there are only 2 more units to go! We finished a lesson on sharing pennies using fractions and multiplication as the base. I’m so proud of my students if they use good vocabulary such as “one-half” and “one-fourth.”

Bible: This week we finished the story of Solomon, about how he was such a good king, but later in his life, he married foreign wives who brought their own idols and later Solomon himself worshipped those idols and God was unhappy with him. Now, the kingdom of Israel has split in 2. These must have been not very happy times in Israel, but that makes me think of how much He loves us even when we fall away from him.
