Week of May 14th

My heart is overflowing from all the joy we shared last week.

Wasn't it amazing to see your children boldly share God's Word during chapel? 

They did an awesome job!

Only two weeks of school left! This week is going to whiz by with a Monday field trip and "Field Day" on Friday! Here's what's happening during this fun-filled week...

CHRISTIAN CHARACTER FORMATION PROJECT 

This week we will revisit the virtue courage as we read about Paul on Mars Hill from Acts 17:16-34. When Paul enters the city, he sees idolatry and becomes angry. Paul had courage and used his spiritual gifts to help teach the Athenians. We define COURAGE as God’s power for you to overcome fear. Therefore, as we read, we will ask ourselves this BIG QUESTION, “How will you find the courage to make Jesus known?”

READING SKILLS and STRATEGIES

Freckle Juice? Ever tried it? I'm really excited to finish up the year with a class “book club” based on the book Freckle Juice by Judy Blume. We will be reading and responding to the book this week and next, between all of our other fun activities.

NO SPELLING this week!! Spelling is OVER for the year!! However, PLEASE keep your children writing over the summer and keep them accountable for using the spelling patterns we've learned AND make them responsible for spelling sight words correctly. Whether it's writing a grocery list, creating a story or responding to a book, keep those kids writing!!! They are great writers! Please shoot me an e-mail if you'd like a list of the second grade words. 

WRITING 

The author celebration was a HUGE success! Thanks for taking time out of your busy schedules to come and rejoice in your child's writing accomplishments! I'm extremely proud of all their hard work! Be sure to scroll to the bottom of this post for pictures!
