Jesus Time: This week we are learning from Acts 2:22-39 Peter's Sermon.  We are talking about how we are all sinners who need a Savior and how we learn about our Savoir through God's word.  God blesses us with pastors who tell us God's Word and help us learn about Jesus.

Math: Working on problem solving by drawing pictures and using teddy bear counters.  Also, working on numbers 11-30.

Reading/Writing: Our theme this week is Animals Now and Then

Our book is If the dinosaurs came back by Bernard Most

We will be reviewing our sight words: she, he, has and look

We will be distinguishing between fantasy and reality as we learn about dinosaurs and think about our world if we still had dinosaurs living here today.

Newsletter April 16th-20th

Jesus Time: This week we are learning about Jesus and how he appeared to his disciples, the two women, a crowd of 500 and other appearances.  We discuss how Easter is not just one day or 40 days but how we can celebrate each day that Jesus died and rose for our sins.  Take some time to discuss some of these events with your child.  He is Risen!  Alleluia!

Math: Learning left and right!  Very tricky -- practice with your child at home.  Singing Father Abraham is always a good song to reinforce left and right sides!   Also, we measured objects in the classroom using cubes.  Find other objects to measure the length or width at home.

Reading/Writing: Our theme this week is Beetles!

The students seem super interested in learning about insects and beetles wanting to know more about God's creatures.  We are thinking of questions and writing about beetles.  

Our sight words are: she and he

With letter formation, practice writing your sight words in a bowl of rice tracing the letters.
