Dear Parents,
What a day! I am not sure what was in the air today, but
twas a bit of a rough one in first grade! Wowza.
We started our day
with Chapel and Pastor Sherry spoke about the “sign” for the month of November,
which is a NO PARKING ZONE sign. The two
verses that go with our sign for this month are “Blessed are those who hear
the Word of God and keep it.” Luke
11:28 and “For we are God’s workmanship
created in Christ Jesus to do good works which God prepared in advance for us
to do.” Ephesians 2:10. (Look familiar?) He spoke to us about how we needn’t be stagnant in our faith. We can always learn more through God’s Word
and we can always show God’s love to others, by what we say and by what we
do. What a great message and reminder
for us all!
Thank you for all
of our creative work with the different Tom the Turkey pictures! What fun!
They are all hung up on the office windows, (close to the front door),
so if you come into the building, be sure to check them out! I also numbered each one, for ease of
voting. If you would like to vote (even
if you vote for your own), please feel free to do so! The paper and basket are in the corner, right
by the pictures. Voting will cease on
Tuesday, at noon. The winner’s prize
will be yummy….so vote, vote, vote!
Today in Math, we
worked on flash cards and a “finding the sums” game. Reviewing was good! It was also good to see them work in pairs,
and work in pairs, well.
Quiz your
kiddos, a little at a time, so they keep it all fresh in their little
developing brains. Ask them to add or
subtract by ones, or twos (or even zeros!), and have them do that math mentally. When they realize that they can do it, it is
SO rewarding for them and such a confidence booster!
How is the reading
at home going? Please continue to
practice, practice, practice! We will at
school, as well.
Don’t forget our
mission of the month of November is the Midland Humane Society. 1st grade is assigned to bring in
cat and dog treats. If you are able to,
please consider donating! We will be
collecting donations until the end of the month.
Blessings on the
rest of your evening!

Signs”
