Happy October!
Hello on this windy day. Don’t get blown over outside!
This Week:
Reading:
This week we learned about the setting of a story. Every story has a setting and it could either be the time (when?) or the place (where?) of the story. We read several books and also tried to figure out the setting of a story by ourselves.
Word Work: This we we practiced what it means to do word work. We used macaroni to practice and form different words we see around the classroom. We want to keep practicing with words because that will help us when we read.
Naming and Telling: We learned that all sentences have a naming and a telling part. Naming = Who? Telling = What? We wrote our own sentence about an animal and cut the sentence apart so we can know which is the naming and which is the telling.
Writing: This week we learned about good beginnings to a story. Some ideas the class came up with are One day, One scary morning, One dark night, One goofy afternoon, etc. The students did great in putting it on to their own writing!
Math: This we week continued to practice counting and trading with nickels and pennies and I think that they all finally understand! It is hard, but with more practice (and later with dimes and quarters) they will be able to do a great job in counting money.
Bible: We finished the story of Jacob! We learned that God had a plan for Jacob’s life even through all the crazy things that happened! God sure never breaks his promises. We also watched several fun videos to show the Bible stories we have learned so far.

Chapel: This week’s message in chapel was about when the Lord called Samuel and gave him a special message. Samuel thought it was his friend Eli calling him while he was sleeping, but it was actually God! Samuel finally replied by saying, “Speak Lord, your servant is listening.”
