First Grade/Penguins

God is a God of order; we were created to work

We read Truman's Aunt Farm last week and discussed homonyms: words that sound the same but are spelled differently aunt/ant; to/two/too et al.  We also covered animal classification, their characteristics and habitats: mammals, birds, fish, reptiles and amphibians.  We looked at the 100 chart and found patterns.  

God cannot lie; we can trust Him and His word

This week we will be reading the book Mailing May and learning about Idaho.  We will discuss being trustworthy and patient.  We will cover telling time and we will weigh different objects with different types of scales.  We will also discuss the post office, mail, and we will learn how to address an envelope.  It would be helpful if they know their address.  

Show and Tell this week is: Mom

Please bring/send a picture of mom and tell us 3-5 facts about her.

Monday is Cali and Sammi's birthday so we will have treats.

Next week (Sept. 17 & 19) Show and tell is your family's emergency plan for a storm.  Also, if you have a rock that has been collected from someplace special (or any rock that will fit in their palm), please send it on Monday--Jesus is our rock and we build our house on that rock.  Please no big rocks. 

Looking forward to another great week!

Blessings,

Cindy
