Tuesday

Bible: We reviewed Jacob's  Dream.  He broke many Commandments when he sinned and took his brother's birthright.  We rejoiced that God  does not keep a  record of our sins.  They are forgiven!!!  In his dream, God told Jacob the blessing of the Savior is still his as well as the large family and the land. We also discussed what a "conscience" is, the little voice that tells us when we have done wrong, broken God's law.
The kids all said their Memory Treasure.

Superkids:  We did more work with -ng and -le words.  You should use the list and word cards in the money pouch to practice at home.  Read and spell them!

Math: We did more work with doubles today.  Ask about the new math stations.  Fun and great practice.

Friendship Week; Today professional counselor, Sara Riek, spoke to the student body.  She had a wonderful presentation about how to be a good friend.  We saw some great videos, too.  I liked the catchy phrase "Talk, Walk or Buddy Up" when being bullied.  Talk, say stop or laugh it off.  Tell a grown up.  Walk away and ignore the bully.  Buddy up, find a friend to be with.

Finally, a leveled reader was sent home.  These books are chosen to match your child's reading level. Your child should read the book a few times, until it can be read with no help.  Tomorrow, I will send home another.  LIBRARY books will also be sent home.  You may have to help your child read those and that is great.  The library is all about student choice.  Leveled books are about gaining confidence and independence.  Happy Reading!!!
