Weekly Memo 09/08/09-09/11/09

I hope that you had a restful three day weekend. Here is what your child will be learning this week in class.

Bible- Days 3-6 of Creation
Memory Verse: Ii- John 14:14- “If ye shall ask anything in my name, I will do it.” (We are starting our memory verses this week. We will start with the letter Ii. We will practice the verse daily in class and students will be expected to know it by Friday, 09/11/09).

Phonics- Continue with short u, introduce e and review i, u, e.

Handwriting- Continue with cursive u and introduce cursive
e. (If unfinished work is sent home, please use the Slant Guide and Cursive Formation Chart for help).

Math- This week we will continue to focus on the words/concepts of; inside,
outside, right, left, same, different, sort.

*We are starting our memory verses this week. In order to keep on track, I needed to push the verses up a week early. This week is John 14:14- letter Ii.

*After your child learns a letter in class, a small note card will be sent home. This is for them to collect and keep at home. I suggest hole punching all of them and putting them on a key ring for safe keeping and for easy access. Bible memory verse cards will also be sent home. These are for you to keep as well.

*If you volunteered to work in the classroom, I will send a note home with your child telling when you will be needed.

*If you have not done so, Please fill out your child’s emergency card and turn it in to me or to the school office! They are necessary for emergencies and field trips.

*There will be no homework this week. If your child has work in their folder that means that it is unfinished work. Please have them complete it at home and return it to school the next day.

*If there is work in your child’s folder that is either stamped or has a sticker on it, that is work for you to keep at home. I will start grading their work later on this week.
