SHOW & TELL: A Bible verse that talks of God’s power. (Friday, September 9)

MEMORY VERSE: The heavens tell the glory of God. And the skies announce what His hands have made. Psalm 19:1

Reading Log: Continue recording reading minutes on the September calendar.

Home Reading: I need your help in monitoring the reading level of what your child is bringing home to read to you each evening. It’s a book of their choosing. If the book is too difficult for them, (more than 5 words missed in 5 sentences), ask your student to look for an easier book for the next night. If the book is too easy, ask for a more difficult book to be chosen the next day. Not only should they be able to read the words, but use expression to make the story interesting.


Math Vocab: Ask your student to define addend , difference, and sum for you.

Spelling: trip, this, drip, that, bank, shell, cone, what, blend, drink, when, nest (test on Friday)

Nutrition: Thank you for the food containers/wrappers. It was a good visual for sugar contained in some of the foods. A student from another class had a can of soda which we borrowed. 43 grams of sugar in one 12 ounce can! It made an impact on the students as we were using unifix cubes to show grams of sugar. It was a long train of cubes!
