I hope that all of you had a pleasant Easter break. I know how nice it is to be able to spend time as a family. I hope that was possible for all of you. Now that we are back in school, we are in for a long stretch before we get our summer vacation. I have a few things planned so hopefully the children will not mind it. If you have any units or thoughts about a neat activity, let me know. I will explore it and see if it works out for our class.
This week we will be reading the story Five Little Ducks by Pamela Paparone. Along with this, we will be working with the letter Q. I also am including the words ‘one, two, and three’ for the children to add to their stack of sight words. Continue to work with these words. It really is beneficial for the children. In math, we will concentrate on nickels and counting by fives. During our circle time, we will talk about bugs. Boy, this is a favorite unit! We hope to catch a few of them and learn more about these small creatures that help and annoy us. Our Bible lessons will be “David Is Kind to Saul” and “Saul Dies, and David Becomes King.” >From these lessons we will learn that out of love for God, we neither try to get even with others nor are happy when others have troubles.
Our third quarter has ended and I want to send home report cards some time this week. I know by Friday I will have them out. If you have comments or questions, please come and talk to me. I want to address you concerns and help you with any questions that you have. During our fourth quarter, I will ask your child to start memorizing a Bible passage. We will work on it all week, but on Friday, I will ask the children to say the passage. This week the passage will be Ephesians 4:32. Be kind to one another, forgiving each other.
We have a special treat on Friday of this week. A parent has arranged for us to have a presentation given by a bee keeper. Bees are fascinating creatures and I am delighted to have this man come in to tell us more about them. I guess we will be able to sample honey too. I hope your child enjoys this.
Our next singing opportunity will be April 20 in the early service. Please mark that on your calendars and plan to join us for worship.
I believe that is all. Have a great week!
