Dear Parents,

Happy Wednesday! How is your week going?  Yesterday was a little rough in our room (but I really think that it has to do with the heat….it has just been making everyone a little nutty).  We had a hard time focusing and paying attention.   I am hoping that with the weather cooling down, it will help the firsties concentrate and work hard at doing their best (fingers crossed!). 

This morning began with Chapel that was presented by Mrs. Parsons and the third grade class.  They spoke about trusting God (even doing a few trust falls!) and how God wants us to trust Him, even when we don’t want to.  Even when it is something big or something hard that He is asking us to do or go through, God promises that He will be with us (We are also learning about this in Religion class; learning about Abraham and all of the things that God asked him to go through….including having a son at a VERY old age!) and that we can trust Him.  I know that in my own life, this is something that has been incredibly hard for me and I am certainly a work in progress.  What is God asking you to trust in Him for? 

Don’t forget to send in an extra set of clothes for your kiddo to keep in their locker (in case of emergency)!  

Below are some pictures from our Morning Tub time (Tuesdays and Thursdays).  The kiddos seem to be enjoying this time and I am excited to continue to add to our activities soon. 

"Look at what I created, Miss Gallagher!" 

I will be sending home the October calendar either tomorrow or Friday (so you can work ahead if you want to!).  Thank you for watching for it!

Just a reminder that we will be testing (NWEA) on Friday and next week as well.  If at all possible, please try not to have your firstie miss school.  Please make sure that they are getting oodles of sleep and eating a protein rich breakfast....brain food!  

Blessings on the rest of your week!

Miss Gallagher
