Can you believe it's almost November?! Each one of the days we've spent together has been a blessing! This week was filled with energy and excitement as we continued to learn with each other after a fun fall break! We had a beautiful class conversation this week about the gift of salvation through JESUS, as we're learning about the parables. What a gift God's grace is!


Colder Weather:
With the cooler temps heading our way, please make sure that your child is dressed appropriately for the weather. Heavy coats, hats, gloves and boots when necessary are so helpful in keeping the kiddos warm during recess! Thanks for helping your child be responsible with this!

Jungle Explorer of the Week:
Hayden was our special Jungle Explorer of the Week! Thanks for sharing your poster and
pictures with our class. We enjoyed getting to know you and learning that you love playing with friends, gym, and math. Your favorite food is pizza! Your favorite place is The Lost City. We love that you want to be a construction worker when you grow up! You are so special to God and to us, Hayden, and we loved getting to know more about you this week!

Homework:
Next week we'll stick with the usual:
*Purple Reading Slip will come home Monday (due Monday, Nov. 8)
*Math Homework Page will come home Monday (due Monday, Nov. 8)
*A new Bible Memory for November will be in the Monday Homework Folder: Psalm 100. This is such a special psalm to memorize around the Thanksgiving holiday! Please practice this at home with your child. 

Words of the Week: 
This week we studied: often, such, best
Next week's words that we'll be adding in are: think, family, never
You'll see a blue half sheet with these 6 words to practice in Monday's Homework Folder. 

Picture Retake Day:
Picture retakes will be on Wednesday, November 3 in the morning. If students would like a retake, they must bring back their original packet for a trade in. Please email me if you are planning on retakes so I can follow-up with your child--not everyone remembers to empty their backpacks. :)

The most wonderful time of the year! It is, isn't it? We continue the hustle and bustle of all the things we need to get done at home and school, and it seems so crazy! We plan and plan and plan! God planned thousands of years in advance to make sure the wise men would see Jesus' star and find him, He planned thousands of years for Mary to bear a son. He has planned years in advance for his coming and the perfect timing of his return. God's timing is always better than outs. We continue to wait with anticipation for His coming again! Homework: Next week no new Homework. We will start up after break. Current*Purple Reading Slip and Math homework will be due Monday, December 16. *Library books are due Wednesday.
