Wow! What a nice weekend we had! I know that the warm weather probably will not continue, however, please make sure that you send the water bottles to school. I plan to do many outdoor activities on the long days and if the children get hot, they need to drink water. Also, it never is a bad idea to put sun block on your child. Some of the children get pink easily and it just makes me feel better to know that they are protected. Thank you.
This week we will be working with the book I Need a Lunch Box by Jeanette Caines. Along with this book, we will be working with the letter X. This letter is not difficult, but I will be emphasizing the writing activities. In math, we will be working with tangrams. For circle time, we will conclude our unit on bugs. Our Bible lessons will be “God Makes Solomon Wise” and “Solomon as King.” From these lessons we will learn that the examples of our leaders influence us.
Our memory treasure for this week will be Matthew 4:10. Worship the Lord your God, and serve him only. Last week the children did a super job in memorizing their verse. I will work with them all week on the verse and listen to it on Friday. Thank you parents for helping your child go through the verse at home. We are starting the process of memory work. When your child gets into the first grade, he or she will need to memorize passages. This gets them used to the idea.
We have many singing opportunities coming very soon. On April 20, we will sing in the early service. Please have your child come to the classroom by 8:30 am to warm up. You know the routine, but if you have any questions, let me know. Then, on May 1, we will have a special Ascension service. Your child is expected to sing during this service as well as recite several Bible passages. Please have your child come to the classroom by 6:45 that night. We will sit as a class. Once the service is over, your child will be excused to go with you.
I am checking into the field trip for the end of school. As of this date,
I am tentatively planning to go to the San Francisco Zoo on June 3. I will check with all of you to see how that works for you. By next week, I hope to have a firm date in mind.
I hope that all of you have a great week!
