 Congratulations to Cadence, Elizabeth, Jaedon, Madaline
and Payton for placing in the Young Authors Writing Contest. Elizabeth went
on to the state finals and won first place.
This involved all children through out the Sioux Falls area. I am very proud of each one and for their
hard work.
 We
will be finishing up with phonics chart #10 in phonics class and had our last
phonics test over it on April 30. Phonics chart #11 is our last phonics chart
in 1st grade and the children will not be tested over it.
 Our
Bible verses were all about giving and what blessed verses we put in our
heart so that we can give to others.
We really liked the verse, “In everything give thanks I Thess. 5:18”.
We really have to practice that verse through all situations. We also worked on The Ten Commandments and we are so glad
they are displayed in our school. How
wonderful to go to a Christian School and be able to pray for our
country.
 The
children shared creative writing stories for Show & Tell during the month
of April and I love to hear their stories.
 The
children had an “egg-ceptional scientific month with our egg drop and
airplane throw over the upstairs balcony.
Each of the first graders also presented, with their parents, a
science experiment to the class.
Those experiments were terrific and I learned so much. They were super!!! We had lots of plastic items brought in
for our Ecology unit. Every student
checks out #’s on plastic now to see if it can be properly recycled.
 We
are adding and subtracting to 12 and it takes lots of thinking power to come
up with the answers quickly and accurately.
We are adding 2-3 digit numbers, carrying, clocks to the minute,
fractions, counting by odd and even numbers, story problems, greater &
less using the arrow sign and how to think outside the box to solve math
problems.
 Please
put Fri., May 9 on your calendar for our Mother’s Day program. It will be in the church sanctuary from
2:00-3:00.
 Congratulations
to Jacob and Malay who were the April Star Students of the Month.
 We
are starting our last month of school and as the saying goes, “Time flies
when you are having fun”, and we have certainly been having fun learning
and do lots of projects. I will miss
these children beyond measure when they depart the end of May. Well, we will enjoy each day together that
the Lord has given us.
In Christ,
Mrs. Hayes
