Welcome Back!

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.

HC Theme- Faith Like A Child:

We talked about this in chapel this week with Mrs. Haig. She talked with South Side and shared how children are so important to Jesus! That he loves them more than anyone! We talked about how faith means believing in things even though we may not see or have seen them. We have some good devotions this week and I am excited to share and talk about Jesus and watch your child's faith grow this year!

Bible Memory:
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 Aug. 31.  

Lunch Helpers:
I have created a sign up for Wednesday lunch helpers. Any parents who would love to spend some time with your child's class are welcome! The time is from 11:25 am to 11:50 am. If you would like to come and be with our class while teachers meet please sign up on the form below. Thank you!!

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 Sept. 5.

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

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.
