We flew through our first week! Your child is learning the daily routines and settling in nicely! It feels great to have the classroom buzzing with excitement, curiosity, and eagerness to learn new things about our great God and the world he has placed us in! Thank you for sharing your child with me each day! We are going to try to keep this entry short and sweet with a few important things for you to note.



Streams of Living Water:

Our theme for this year is Streams of  Living Water. We have been talking about our theme and how we as a class can live this out together this year. Mrs. Wyma talked to us during chapel on Wednesday about our theme. God fills us up with his Living Water.  We can be a refreshing light in our world and share this life giving water with those around us.

Bible Memory: 

Our first chapel of the year!
With September approaching, we will be practicing Psalm 8, our September Bible Memory. A
copy for your fridge will come home today. :) Please try to practice this at home. Remember that we will recite this together various ways at school, but it would be great to have the practice at home as well. This passage is being done K-12 to create a passionate commitment to faith and development of the whole school body.

Batons:
Please make sure to return your child's Baton to school by Sept. 1.  

Homework:
We are all busy settling in to new routines, from school to soccer practices, etc. so we will ease into the year together. We recognize that families are busy with Labor Day weekend plans as well, so we'll start Reading and Math Homework after Labor Day.

Shoes:
Please try to remember to have your child have BOTH indoor and outdoor shoes. We are giving grace this first week but we do need to make this a priority! Thank you!

*THANK YOU for your love, prayers, and support as we begin this new school year together! I am so blessed to spend each day with your child!

Important Dates:
Aug. 29: Return Friday Folders
Aug. 31: Convocation
Sept. 1: Batons due back to school
Sept. 2 & 5: No School: Labor Day Weekend
Sept. 21-22: South Side Picture Day-more info coming later

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.

We had a fun visit from the 8th grade orchestra kids today! They played some songs for us and let the 2nd graders get up close to the instruments! They showed the 2nd graders how to play their instruments and then the 2nd graders played a song! Super fun! Look for pictures of this at the end of the blog. We had a super fun time with our grandparents/friends on Thursday! What a pleasure to see the beautiful connection between the generations! So much love to go around! The kids had so much fun being with them and singing for them!   Homework: Homework Folders came home on Monday, Oct. 7 and the work inside is due on Oct. 14.  *Reminder- 100 minutes for Reading. This can be your child reading on his/her own OR you and your child taking turns.   Math papers- time each half and see how many correct.  The goal is to get faster at our facts each time.
