Thank you SO much to all the parents who came out to Parent Teacher Conference on! I enjoyed every moment of sharing with and celebrating together the growth of your child in only 1 quarter! I’m excited to see what will happen in 2nd, 3rd, and 4th quarter!
This Week:
Reading: Our focus was on setting. Setting is the time and place of a story. It was fun for the students to figure out if a story happened during the day or at night, at a farm or at the beach. I hope the students will continue to figure out the setting as they read stories.
Here's a picture into our Independent Daily 5 time:

Math: We continued through subtraction and are almost done with the chapter! Next week we will review and take a test on chapter 2. I hope the students are more confident with subtracting now!
Bible: The story of Joseph keeps getting exciting! Pharaoh the king of Egypt himself had a dream and guess who was the only one who could understand the dream? Joseph (with God’s help). The dream was about a famine coming to Egypt. Guess who was put in charge of the whole country to save up food?? Joseph! Now he’s the second most important person in Egypt! And guess who now needs food?? Joseph’s family back in Canaan. The exciting story continues how God is with Joseph!
