Welcome to week two of school! Here is what your child will be learning this week in class.

Bible- Days 1-3 of Creation
Memory Verse: Genesis 1:1-“In the beginning God created the heavens and earth.” (Your child will not be tested on this verse. We are learning this verse together as a class to prepare your child for memory verses. Memory verses will start the second week of September).

Phonics- Continue with short i and introduce short u

Handwriting- Continue with cursive i and introduce cursive
u. (A Slant Guide and a Cursive Formation Guide will be sent home in your child’s folder. Those are for you to keep at home so you may help your child when homework starts).


Math- This week we will be focusing on the words/concepts of; inside,
outside, right, left, same, different, sort. At the beginning of each chapter there is a short story in which the chapter is introduced. The story for Chapter 1 will be sent home this week; it does not need to be returned to school.

Remember, our behavior chart is in full swing this week. Please work with your child to obey the first time. Be sure to sign their report each day and send it back to school. (If your child received a white star for the day, then they will have a "gold" little star to collect. I now realize that this may cause a little confusion, so I will try to make them white stars from now on).Thank you for your prayers and encouragement. Let’s continue to pray (1 Thessalonians 5:17) that this year would be a productive, God honoring year.
