What a week in second grade! It's been such a joy this week to watch the students dig deeper into some of the Old Testament Bible stories and they have loved making connections of how God used  these events in each person's life to keep his covenant with his people.  The kids have been working hard and I am so proud of them! Thanks for all the support you've given me from home this first month as well! I certainly couldn't do it without you!  

HOMEWORK:

- Our current Math worksheet is due on Monday, Sept. 18. Please remember to time your child on each half of the page and write their total correct in the side column.

- Our current Reading Minutes sheet is due on Monday, Sept. 18. Remember the goal is 100 minutes. This can be your child reading on his/her own OR you and your child taking turns. 

- Our current sight words are always, great, find. Please practice these if your child doesn't know how to read/spell them. 

Library books are due on Monday the 18th!

WORDS OF THE WEEK:
Thank you for helping your child practice: things, school, walk, always, great, find. Look for the blue half sheet in your child's Homework Folder coming home on Monday.
Next week's new words are: until, last, high. A blue paper is coming home today with some ideas for practicing sight/spelling words in case you are looking for some fun ways to practice!

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!
