Dear Parents,
Happy Wednesday…or is it Friday?!? (It certainly feels like Friday around here…)
I wanted to share a few more pictures of our Mystery Readers (Though I am very sorry that I didn’t get pictures from our Monday Mystery Reader…ask your firstie who it was!). We have been enjoying our readers so far and the books that they have been sharing with us.
 |
| TOTALLY enjoying our readers! |
 |
| Do you recognize the back of this man? (Maybe not without his robes on...) It's Pastor Sherry! The book that he read to us was about imaginary friends. :) |
 |
| Miss Stephanie came from the Auburn Public Library to read to us as well! (She actually read to every single class!) |
Today, for our Chapel Family activity, the older students read to the younger students (Bible stories) and then everyone made a bookmark to use and/or take home. The kiddos got super creative and had a good time!
Math is getting harder…have you noticed? We are starting to add two digit numbers together! If you have blocks at home, please use them to help your firstie to physically work with the numbers and to get a better understanding of whether or not to regroup. This can be a tricky concept for firsties to grasp, so the more practice they can get, the better.
Even though we didn’t have memory work this week, it doesn’t mean you can’t get a jump start on next week’s memory (the next 8 don’t seem to be too tricky to pronounce…). When there is more than one book (i.e. 1 Samuel, 2 Samuel), we say the numbers as ordinal numbers (first, second, third). Please make sure that they are learning the books in the correct order! Thank you!
Next week is St. Patrick's Day and we will be having a small little party! Please have your firstie wear green and bring in something green to share with the rest of the class. (It doesn't have to be food, but of course it can be! A few examples of what has been brought in the past are: green pencils, green stickers, green necklaces, green slime, green grapes, green suckers, green rice krispy treats, green cookies, etc...) If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask! Thanks!
Have a wonderful rest of your week and weekend! Please pray for safe travels for the teachers and that we learn lots at our conference!
Blessings!
Miss Gallagher
