Dear Parents,

It has been SO LONG! With all of the craziness of the last few weeks, there hasn’t been much opportunity to blog on a regular basis. 

This morning in Chapel, Pastor spoke to us about how we can YIELD to Christ and His will.  This is so hard to do sometimes….wouldn’t you agree?   There are times that Christ is knocking on our hearts and we don’t want to listen!  I pray that we are able to listen a little more closely to what God’s will is for us, daily.  

Today, we also learned about Martin Luther King Jr. and how he stood up for equality and how he fought against the injustices of this country…not with violence, but with love. After we read the story “Martin’s Big Words”, we talked about some words that we thought described him.  I was so impressed with the firsties’ list!  Words such as; determined, brave, loving, calm, leader, godly, were a few that they came up with!  We also talked about how he had BIG dreams and some of them came true!  A part of their homework tonight is for each firstie to write about 4 different dreams that they have for their lives.  Please make sure that these papers come back so that I can create a big of our BIG dreams! Thanks!

We are unto Chapter seven in Math!  Today we talked about the numbers 11-19; how we can make them and what their number word looks like.  Please review these at home! 

Tomorrow, I will be sending home the words for our song that we are singing on Sunday (It’s called “The House of the Lord”).  Please just have your kiddos go over the words a few times before Sunday.  Thanks!

Have a great rest of your Wednesday!

Miss Gallagher
