Live Nativity

Our class had a wonderful week! We have been so blessed to be together these first
few weeks of school! The students are getting the routines and enjoy being together with their classmates. We have lots going on in each subject area, and have enjoyed learning about God and learning about how to live a life full of wisdom from James in Bible. We had a great morning at Sassfras Ridge, look for a couple of pictures at the end of the blog.

BIBLE MEMORY:
*We are continuing to practice Psalm 8, and we are up to knowing verses 1-3 somewhat well. Please continue to practice this at home.

HOMEWORK:
*Your child's first reading slip and math homework page came home in your child's Homework Folder, this past Tuesday. 

-Math worksheet is due on Monday, Sept. 11. Please remember to time your child on each half of the page and write their total correct in the side column.

-Reading Minutes sheet is due on Monday, Sept. 11. Remember the goal is 100 minutes. This can be your child reading on his/her own OR you and your child taking turns. 

-A blue half sheet that had our first 3 sight words to work on for 2nd grade came home on Tuesday. Please practice these if your child doesn't know how to spell/read them. The words were: things, school, walk. 

We took an pre-test on all of our 2nd grade words and those assessments are coming home today. PLEASE remember this is to see what your child knows and help to know what to work on as the year goes. These words are for the 2nd graders to know by the end of 2nd grade.

Jungle Explorer of the Week:

We will start with our first Jungle Explorer next week! If your child is selected I will send home a note to let you know what to do along with your child's poster to decorate and the Guessing Jar to fill. So excited to learn more about each of our students! The students had fun learning more about Mrs. Dreyer this week!
