I am amazed at how much the students have learned so far this year and they keep growing and growing! It's so fun to see how much we have accomplished so far this year! Our classroom community continues to grow close, just like a family. It has been so great to laugh together, support each other, and pray for each other. Thanks for being an active part of our classroom, and for supporting us in the many ways you do!  

HOMEWORK:

New homework will be sent home on Tuesday, Jan. 20, and is due back Monday, Jan. 26
*Psalm 1 was sent home. Please practice at home or use for devotions. We are up to learning verse 4.
*We have reached the end of our 3rd set of Sight Words. We will have a test next week Thursday, Jan. 22.

*Make sure ALL library books come back next week please!

Jungle Explorer:

Tucker 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 like football and soccer. We love that you want to be a football player when you grow up! Your favorite place is Wild Chef and your favorite food is orange chicken. You are so special to God and to us, Tucker, and we loved getting to know more about you this week!


Martin Luther King Jr. Day

Monday, Jan. 19, we will have no school as it is Martin Luther King Jr Day. We will have some conversations and lessons about the active work he completed in our world. We will look at how MLK Jr. brought kindness to the world around him, cared so much about people, and didn't judge them based on what they looked like. We will talk about the call we have to love others.


100TH DAY OF SCHOOL:

Friday, January 30 (if we have no snow days) will be our 100th day of school! Where has the time gone? We are looking forward to celebrating 100 days of God's faithfulness together! We have lots of fun activities planned, and one of them is dressing like we are 100 years old! (No wheelchairs or walkers though, our classroom just isn't big enough!) Don't feel like you need to go buy things...just get creative with this! I wanted to give you a heads up so you can start raiding your Grandma's closets for some fun ideas!


CEREAL: 

Another thing we need you to have your child do is count out 100 pieces of their favorite cereal and bring it in a baggie with your child's name on it by Thursday, January 29. I'll provide the bowls, milk and spoons and we'll be having a hundred's day breakfast together on our special day! Your child might need to eat a little at home too--100 pieces is not as much as you'd think! :)
