November 1st News and Notes

PTC
It has been great meeting with everyone this week during Parent/Teacher Conferences!  Through conversations with parents, I have several new ideas I'd like to try on this blog (such as adding a link to Starfall and looking into the vocabulary section of Spelling City).  Please look for these additions to the blog in upcoming entries!

Religion
Memory Work for the Week of November 5th - Song Lyrics to "How Great is Our God" for singing in church on November 11th - look to You Tube for a sample to catch the tune!

Tuesday (First and Second)
The splendor of the King clothed in majesty -
Let all the earth rejoice, all the earth rejoice!

Thursday (First and Second)
He wraps Himself in light, and darkness tries to hide
And trembles at His voice, and trembles at His voice!

Friday (Second)
The Lord will not hold anyone guiltless who misuses His name.  Exodus 20:7
