Bible- Days 5-7 of Creation
Memory Verse: Letter Uu-
Psalm 75:1-Unto thee, O God, do we give thanks.

Phonics- Continue with short e and introduce short a and o.
Phonics homework will be sent home this week.

Handwriting- Continue with cursive e and introduce cursive
a and o. (A Slant Guide and a Cursive Formation Guide are being 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 concept of sorting and
graphing. We will learn to sort by color, size and shape.

· Thank you for working with your children at home. They are learning to choose what is right! Miss Taylor and I have seen large improvements in their behavior over the past week, so be encouraged. Praise be to God for what he is doing!

· There is homework this week! How do you know it’s homework? It will have a small stamp on the top that says homework. Monday there will be a phonics homework sheet. Please work with your child on this sheet. Help them hear all of the sounds in the word by sounding it out. For example; don’t just say fish. Sound out f-i-sh, so they can hear all of the sounds and/or digraphs. Homework is to be returned the next day!

· Please look inside your child’s folder daily. If there is unfinished work, please have them finish it! It’s important that they keep up with all of the school work so that they don’t fall behind.

· Last week, the students were introduced to the math concepts/words of; before, after, between, top, middle, bottom, right and left. Please continue to work with your child to reinforce these concepts. (We are working hard to understand right and left). J

· Handwriting sheets will also be sent home this week. If they are photocopied, they are just for practice and they DO NOT need to be returned to me. We are practicing in class, but I thought a little extra practice would be beneficial.

· This Friday, 09/18- PGA Hawk Night at 7:00pm-child care provided

· Monday, September 21st- Teacher In-Service Day (No Students)

· Picture Day is on September 25th!

· Our first field trip to Underwood Farms & Pumpkin Patch is tentatively scheduled for Thursday, October 15th. More information to follow.
