Dear Parents,

Did you know that it was a full moon?  Or at least it’s pretty close to a complete full moon…Teachers can always tell…..lol.  The firsties were kinda chatty today…..

The tree close to our classroom is down!  Did your firstie tell you?  I took a picture and about two minutes later, it was DOWN!  We didn’t even hear it fall!  Again, our “landscape” is changing!  

We have been learning about Moses, the Plagues, and the Exodus.  Ask your firstie how many plagues that they can remember (there were 10).  We learned about the worst plague, when God sent an angel to kill all of the first born children.  However, God told Moses to kill a perfect lamb and take the blood of this lamb and paint it on the doorframes of the homes of the people of Israel.  When the angel came, it knew to “pass over” the homes that had the blood on the doorframes and they were safe. 

We, too, are God’s people and put “blood” on our classroom doorframe, to remind us of what Christ did for us.  Jesus was a perfect man, whose blood was spilled for us and because of that, we are safe and free and FORGIVEN!  

Two more days until our field trip!  Remember that if you are driving, you need to stop in the office and have your license and insurance information updated! Thank you! Please do this BEFORE Thursday.  Also, please don’t forget to send in your child’s booster seat with them if you are NOT driving.  The law, which we must follow, is children who aren’t 4 feet 9 inches or 8 years old, will be in a booster seat.  If their seat isn’t brought in, your firstie won’t be able to attend our trip.  Thank you for taking this matter seriously.  

There is no library tomorrow!  Your kiddos can hold on their books for another week. Please encourage your kiddo to read their AR book and sign up for a test.  Our goal is to have our whole class read one AR book, take an AR test, and pass a test, each quarter.  The end of the quarter is coming up quick! 

Spelling practice test tomorrow and don’t forget that our memory test is on Friday!  Thank you so much for helping to prepare your firstie for these tests.

I'll leave you with this great picture that I took outside of church this morning....Happy Fall! 

 

Blessings on your evening!
