 We
thank the Lord for His unspeakable goodness to us!!! We have so many blessings to be thankful
for each day. Give thanks to the LORD
for he is good. Psalm 118:1
We
had a great time presenting our Thanksgiving Program, along with Mrs.
Lundquist’s class, to our parents and friends. Thanks to our great room mom,
Charity H . for arranging our refreshments.
We appreciate everyone coming to share in our time of giving thanks to
the Lord. We finished up our Thanksgiving Booklets and we hope you enjoyed
having your child read and share the Thanksgiving stories with you.
We
traveled to the Pettigrew Museum in downtown Sioux Falls to visit and see the
history of Sioux Falls. We all
thought we could live in the beautiful historic home. Senator Pettigrew collected artifacts from
all over the world.
In science class we studied all about the 5
senses and each student brought in the 5 senses to share. We read books about the 5 senses and did
various science projects that incorporated the 5 senses into our learning.
The 5 senses are a gift from the Lord and we never take them for
granted.
We
have been working hard on phonics chart #7 and we had our test over it on
Nov. 29. It has 18 different phonics
rules and you can go to our phonics chart page at our web site all the
phonics charts. We have been doing
webbing in our creative writing class and it is a fun way to put our thoughts
down before we write our stories.
Our
Bible verses have been about praise and worship to the Lord and the
thankfulness we have in our heart. We also studied the Fruits of the Spirit
and want to apply these fruits to our everyday life. We made our Joseph book
and the children drew beautiful pictures of Joseph’s life. We have started JBQ (Junior Bible Quiz)
questions over the Bible.
Our
Show and Tells were bringing in various phonics sounds each week. We bought in the short vowels, long
vowels, and sh, th, wh, and ch sounds.
We
completed the 3rd list of Dolch words and do about 25 new words
each month. These words are so
important to know and to be able to spell for application in our creative
writing stories.
We
read many of the readers from the Margaret Hillert series. These are my all time favorites for easy
readers in first grade.
Thank
you so very much parents for all the things that you help your child with at
home. I couldn’t do it without your help and prayers. Time goes by too
quickly and we need to make sure and hold these early years of learning in
our hearts.
In Christ,
Mrs. Hayes
