Religion
There will be a normal schedule for Memory Work next week. Memory Work consists of lyrics to the song that grades Kindergarten through Fourth will be singing at the September 14th 10:00 St. John's Church worship service!
Tuesday (First and Second)
Teach me Lord to wait.
Down on my knees
Till in Your own good time
You'll answer my plea.
Thursday (First and Second)
Help me not to rely on what others do.
Thursday (First and Second)
Help me not to rely on what others do.
But to wait in prayer for an answer from You.
Friday (Second)
The Second Commandment: You shall not misuse the name of the Lord your God.
Reading/Spelling
This week, we continued to practice being independent readers and writers using "The Daily Five" method. While students built stamina while "Reading to Ourselves" and "Writing On Our Own", I was able to do some diagnostic testing on each student's reading abilities. We will conclude our introduction of The Daily Five next week, and plan to begin our Reading and Spelling studies starting the week of September 15th! In the Friday Communication Folder, please look for a handout which will be helpful when we start digging into these subjects. One side features a Guided Reading Star which your student is using to help coach other students on difficult words while "Reading with Someone". Please use this tool at home while reading with your child, and ask them about "coaching" or "time". The flipside demonstrates the American Sign Language alphabet, which can be a fun way to practice those Spelling words!
September Book Order
A book order form can be found in your child's Friday Communication Folder. If you would like to order this month, please send order and payment back to school by Wednesday, September 10th.
