| First Day of School 2015 |
We started our day in chapel with a devotion from Mr. H. We will be witnesses for Jesus, our Lord and Savior!
After chapel, the students helped write the rules for our classroom. We talked about what to Do and what to Be in school. Your children mentioned being kind, respectful, quiet and caring. This year is going to be great! I will write the rules on a lovely chart and tomorrow the kids will sign it.
We had snack and recess! See our Math About Me sheet for our introduction back into using numbers. A few items were too hard and that is OK. Then we did two Name Games. Ask about "I am ______, Who is_____?" We also did a rhythmic, chanting game, "Up the a Ladder."
At story time I read Our Best School Year Ever, Then came lunch and recess.
After lunch I briefly taught the Creation story. Please read it tonight with your child. We will review it Th and Fr. (1 A in binder). Our Memory Treasure is Gen 1;1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. (I will make sure to get an NIV 11 translation to get us on track with the school).
I introduced our Job chart and 4 Star Behavior chart. I also introduced our library. We had to meet our class caterpillar and see how much of a leaf he ate just since Monday! We also gave him a fresh new milkweed leaf!
In gym we played two new games outside, Cat and Mice, and Four Corners.
Finally we read Froggy Goes to Hawaii. Tomorrow we will compose a class book about our Summer vacation.
See your child's homework chart in the binder. I told them about Kids of Wisconsin being in FdL tonight. This amazing group of teens will sing, dance and play instruments in our Buttermilk Ck park tonight! The concert starts at 7:15. It is free! Please try to come, even if you can just make it for a couple songs. I know bedtime is important!
Blessings as we start the year together! Mrs. W
