SHOW & Tell: Something that reminds you of spring

MEMORY VERSE: Jesus said, “Don’t let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God. And trust in me. There are many rooms in my Father’s house. I would not tell you this if it were not true. I am going there to prepare a place for you. After I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back. Then I will take you to be with me so that you may be where I am.” John 14:1-3 To be said: March 18—We’re taking more time on this verse since it’s longer.

Money: We are still counting money in math. Please give your student piles of coins to practice counting. The first graders are doing pennies, dimes, nickels and quarters. The second graders have added quarters and half dollars to the mix (if you have any half dollars!). Just a note of clarification—I haven’t been allowing the 2nd graders to actually use 50 cent pieces in their money counting. I haven’t had a 50 cent coin in my purse in a long time. I’ve asked the teller at my bank a couple of times if he had a 50 cent piece in his till. Both times the answer has been “no!” He said he could order one for me. Obviously they’re pretty rare in circulation.

Eating Outside: We’ve been able to eat outside for the last couple of days. It’s such a nice break to be able to drop crumbs on the ground rather than the floor and our desks.

Spring Break: Remember our spring break begins on Thursday, March 19. We’ll be back in school on Monday, March 30.
