WOW! Thank you SOOOO much for all of your lovely snacks, school supplies, cards, gifts, flowers and SO much more for Teacher Appreciation Week! I am so blessed to be able to be your child’s teacher. Thank YOU for raising such amazing children!! It is my pleasure to teach them!
This Week:
Reading: We worked on the strategy “Flipping the Sound.” This is a great strategy to read harder words. When you come to a word you don’t know, it’s a good idea to try the long and short sounds for the vowels to see if you can figure it out.
Writing: We started writing poetry this week! We learned that poems are fun to listen to and pretty to listen to. Poems are where you get to play with words. This week we wrote -ing poems and color poems. The students did great!
Spelling: This week we worked on “th” and “wh” words!
Math: We started our new unit on time and measurement. This week we learned about measuring, length, unit, short, and long. On Wednesday, we used cubes to measure things around the room.
Bible: This week we learned the Easter story, the story of Jesus’ last days on earth. Jesus entered Jerusalem, celebrated the Passover feast with his disciples, but then Judas, one of his own disciples betrayed Jesus and Jesus got arrested by the leaders. Jesus was then convicted to die even though he didn’t do anything wrong. He was told to carry a cross to the top of the hill and there he was crucified. Before that, Jesus was beat, kicked, spit on, and so much more worse things happened to him. After a few hours on the cross, he died there. Some of his friends put Jesus in an empty tomb and sealed the door with a big stone. 3 days later, his friends went to his tomb to find the stone rolled away and no Jesus inside! An angel told the friends, “Jesus is not here, he has risen! Just like he said!” Jesus was alive! Jesus appeared to his friends many times before he returned to heaven. Why did Jesus go through with dying even though he was God and he could have saved himself? Because, he loves each and everyone of us SO much, that he died in the place of our own sin. Thank you Jesus for dying for us! That’s why I love this time of Easter so much! If you’d like to go to an Easter service, here are some churches and some of their times:
