Thursday!

Good afternoon!

The  Weekly Note was sent home today.   Let me know if your child did not get it to you.  The  Faith Alive was also sent digitally.

Bible: We reviewed the story Jacob and Laban.  Our new word today was "greedy."  Laban was greedy for more possessions and that is partly why he wanted Jacob to keep working for him.  God did bless Jacob.  God richly blesses us with all we need, too.  Tomorrow is chapel!

Superkids:  We reread Fiddlesticks.   So many kids wanted to read aloud today.  I know most practiced last night.  Thank you!  They did a great job.  We did  more spelling and writing, too.

Math: I showed my balance scale and we weighed several containers.  We talked about "heavier and lighter" objects.  Lesson 29 is due tomorrow.

Science:  We reviewed animal groups as some kids are still a bit confused as to how to group animals.  I read more from our First Encyclopedia of Animals.  What great facts and photos.  Finally, we read and discussed "food chains."

Today we enjoyed our math stations in the morning and two reading stations in the afternoon.  New leveled readers were sent home.  Happy listening as your child reads!

Our guest speaker, Amy Baehr, talked about dealing with anger.  We made a squishy ball with a balloon and playdough to squeeze real tight when we are feeling angry.
