Happy Friday! We finally (almost) had a full week of school! It was great to be back in school after a long week of typhoons!
Here’s what we learned this week:
Reading - We learned what questions were and so we learned to ask questions while reading a story.
Mrs. Hewitt read the “If you give a…” books to the students and she taught the students to ask lots
of questions to the story. We asked questions like: “Why did that happen?” Where did the character go?
How did the character do that? and so on! I hope the students grow up to ask LOTS of questions while
they read.

Writing - We are cruising through narrative writing and we learned to develop our writing by writing
tiny seed stories instead of big watermelon stories. Sometimes students write a story about a big
event such as a school day or a trip. We encouraged them to think of a tiny seed, one little details or
little tiny part of story and write about it. Today the students learned how to unfreeze their characters
by making them move and speak. They are turning into quite the writers!

Math: We finished chapter 1 about adding to 10. Students all did well on the math review and test.
I’m excited to start Chapter 2 with subtraction next week!

Bible: We continued to learn how God keeps his promises with the birth of Isaac and his life.
Isaac married Rebekah who was from Abraham’s hometown and who agreed to marry Isaac
even though she had never met him before! Isaac and Rebekah had twin boys named Esau and Jacob.
Esau was the oldest but Jacob tricked his brother into giving him the birthright and the blessing! Eek!
We are going to see how God is going to watch over Jacob’s life and keep his promises to Jacob.
We made some finger puppets and told the story!
