Dear Parents,

This morning began with worshiping together in church.  Pastor spoke about being a part of a team and that WE are a part of God’s team!  What a blessing and honor it is to be a part of His team!  We have talked in first grade about how important it is to tell others about Jesus and His great love!  We want to have many more on our team….as many as possible!   

In Math we talked more about tens and ones and practiced with our “ten towers”.  Ask your firstie just what a “ten tower” is!  

The words that we have been looking at, learning, and reading this week have wh and sh in them.  Practice these sounds at home!  

Just a heads-up….next month, the whole school will be participating in a Social Studies Fair.  Each grade will be doing something a little different, but first grade will be creating time lines of themselves and a grandparent (or parent).  I will be sending home more details soon, but I wanted you and your firstie to start thinking about it!  

Our main story for this week was about seasons and I told the firsties a riddle.  I told them that I would put it in the blog for today….only if they remembered what the answer was so they could tell you if you were right or wrong! The riddle is: How does an elephant get down from a tree? 

Just a reminder that book orders are due on Friday!  

Blessings on your evening!
