August 23rd News and Notes

Blog Invitations
I am including a printed copy of this week's blog in the Friday Communication Folder. I have attempted to send a blog invitation to everyone who provided an email address to me on the green questionnaire form from Open House Night. This mainly concerns the families of our new students and the first grade students. Returning second grade student families should be able to login like last year. Please let me know if you have not yet received an invitation or are having trouble logging on by emailing me at kbradshaw@stjohnshannibal.org. Thank you for helping St. John's save on paper and printing costs again this school year! Please be sure to check the blog every Friday for a new parent letter. Let me know if there are any additional people in your family that you would want to be invited as a reader to our blog!

 Religion
 As part of our first and second grade Religion curriculum, I will be assigning Bible verses for the children to memorize and repeat back to me. Verses will be said twice a week for first graders (Tuesday and Thursday) and three times per week for second graders (Tuesday, Thursday, Friday) unless otherwise notified. We will be practicing them during class time, but some additional help from home would be appreciated. Look for the Memory Verses on the Friday parent letters.

Tuesday (First and Second)
In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth. Genesis 1:1

Thursday (First and Second)
God saw all that He had made, and it was very good. Genesis 1:31

Friday (Second)
The first commandment: You shall have no other Gods.

Reading/Spelling 
We have been working on the Smart Start pages from our Reading series in both grades this week. We will continue to review next week. Please look for the first Spelling Test and Reading Sight and Vocabulary Words to appear on the August 30th blog entry.

Saxon Math Homework 
Please look for the first math homework sheet in Friday's communication folder along with a parent letter which briefly describes the program. Help your child complete the homework, and return in the communication folder on Monday morning. Thanks in advance for your attention to this important subject!
