Sept 24 Weekly Update

Dear Parents,

Thank you all for bringing your child to the church service for singing. I also appreciated your promptness in bringing them to the classroom for a warm-up session. That was so nice of you. The children did a great job of praising their Savior. I always enjoy hearing their voices in song.

This week we will be reading the story Mice Squeak, We Speak by Tommie da Paola. Along with this, we will be working with the letters O, Q, I, Z, and K. I also want to begin working on the blending process. I will let you know how that goes. In math, we will be working with graphs and the number formations. During circle time, we will talk about apples and discuss this wonderful fruit that God gave us. Our Bible lessons will be “God Answers Abraham’s Prayer for a Son” and “God Answers Abraham’s Prayer for Lot.” >From these lessons we will learn how God keeps his promises and answers prayers.

I must inform you that during the week of October 1-5 I am on jury duty. I pray that I do not get put on a jury, but in the event that I should, I have Miss Beutel here to take over. Please don’t worry. She is a gifted lady who knows the class and will do a fine job. I can only hope that I get called in for an afternoon when I am off anyway. We will see.

The children will be doing a very special presentation soon. On October 26, we will have our Fall Musical. Before the children in grades 1-3 do their production, we will have an opening act. Believe me you do not want to miss it. I will be working very hard during these next few weeks to get this together. There will be no costumes this year. However, if you would like to invite friends or relatives to come see the production, feel free to do so. We love having guests come and see our kids. All of this will start at 7:00 pm. I believe we will also have a dress rehearsal on Thursday, October 25. However, at this writing, I am not sure of the time.

On October 5, we will have a special Harvest Festival. The children love this event so please mark the date on the calendar. I will send more information later.

I believe that is all for this week. Have a great week!
