Friday News for Week on Feb 9-13

Happy Friday and Happy Valentine’s Day!

We had a heart-filled day in 1st grade today! I love how much love these 1st grade students have! At the end of the day, we have a short Valentine’s Party where we read a book, played a game and passed out all of the Valentine’s. I received so much love! :)
   




Today in our Bible lesson we remembered how God loved us first and how he loved us so much to send his own son to die for us, and how he calls us to love each other and even our enemies!

We even made fun Valentine Cards!





This week:

Student Teacher: This week we had a new face in the classroom. Meet Mrs. Harris. Mrs. Harris is studying to be a teacher and is practicing in our 1.1 classroom. She is busy trying to learn the names of all the 1.1 students and has already been teaching some spelling this week. In a few weeks, she will take control of the classroom to teach for one week! We are excited to have her in our classroom!

Reading: This week we worked a lot on our Student Led Conference Portfolios. Parents will be excited to see the final product during Student Led Conference time!

Math: Last week after learning about Fact Families, this week we used that to learn about Fact Triangles. We also learned some more fun math games with that. We also practiced with subtraction facts. Today we learned about the centimeter - CM! We took our rulers around the room and tried to figure out how long somethings were. 

Bible: We had an exciting few weeks in the story of David and Saul. David has finally begun king and God is blessing his life as king. Even when his son Absolam tried to take over and become king, God still uses had a plan for David’s life and brings David back to Jerusalem to be king. 

Birthday: This week we also had a class birthday where the student brought his little sister in for Show and Tell! So much fun!
