For giving us the things we need, sun, and rain and the apple seed.
The Lord is good to us!
Grade One/Two September 22-26, 2014
What lovely fall days we are having! As we celebrate this lovely weather God provides, we will also this week celebrate the birthday of a USA legend, Johnny Appleseed. Friday will be a day of literacy, math, games, and art to revel in the day.
The rest of the week will be full of learning and fun, as well. Reading/literacy finds us reading about pets and how to care for them. There will be writing activities associated with this. Our sound is short u as in pup; you’ll see that in the spelling words. A word about the spelling words: the words are carefully selected and I attempt to match them to the two grade levels in our classroom, so truly, the first grade words are for the firsts and the additional words are meant for the seconds. I would prefer the first graders to really understand the chunks and words given them. Besides, it seems like the seconds should have something that is just their own. Thanks for your understanding.
Math finds us adding and subtracting with 2 as an addend and subtrahend, then moving into adding doubles.
Our downtown unit is going well; we will visit two new businesses this week, Sweet Pickles and The Pedal House. Mrs. Boyer has moved into facilitating social studies as we all continue in this student teaching journey together. As I am sure you know from the stories your cherubs share, she is wonderful, kind, and extremely capable. We are blessed to have her this semester!
Religion will be one of my favorite topics: Baptism! You will have an opportunity to visit with your child about his/her baptism this week.
