Thank you all for bringing your child to sing yesterday for the early service. The children did a beautiful job of praising God with their voices. Remember, if you were not able to join us, please write me a note excusing your child.
This week we will be reading the story Franklin Plays the Game by Paulette Bourgeois and Brenda Clark. Along with the story, we will work with the letter Y. As always, please keep reviewing the word cards. It really does help your child when we read. In math, we will be working with subtraction. We will just be starting the process and I know some will get confused with addition. However, I want them to be exposed to it. For circle time, we will talk about rocks. The children love this unit. If your child wants to bring a rock to school, he or she must label the rock so that I can return it after the unit is completed. Our Bible lessons will be “Elijah and King Ahab” and “Ahab and Naboth’s Vineyard.” From these lessons, we will learn how dealing with unbelievers is often difficult.
The children are doing a fine job with the memory work. Please go through the verse before you bring them to school. It does help them a lot. I go through the verse many times during the week. However, that added practice at home makes it much easier. The verse for this week is Matthew 22:39. Love your neighbor as yourself.
Our next singing opportunity is May 1 at 7:00 pm. Please mark that date on your calendar. I realize that it is an evening service, however, it is a beautiful service done by the children. The children will sit as a class and they will recite verses and sing songs from their spots. I will give you more information concerning the service in the next note.
We are confirmed to go to the San Francisco Zoo on June 3. I will need drivers and helpers. If you want to come along, please fill out the sheet. The cost is $6.00 per person. We will try to carpool as much as possible. Thank you in advance for your help. Siblings are also welcome to come along. Again, all people going must pay the $6.00.
We will have a teacher collaboration day on Friday. There will be no hot lunch, but there will be child care. Let me know if you have any questions.
I believe that is all for this week. Have a great week!
