Happy Tuesday!
God sure blessed us with amazing weather this weekend.
I hope you were all able to enjoy it along with the extra day off.
Last week was pretty great too.
For the last two weeks, we've been studying black history. As a culmination to our studies, the kiddos did mini reports on various famous African Americans...
Happy Birthday to Carrington!
Here's what's in store for this week...
CHRISTIAN CHARACTER FORMATION PROJECT
This week we will study the virtue of integrity through one of Jesus’ favorite methods of instruction – a parable. We remember integrity as God’s power for you to be true to Him and yourself. In this particular parable, we get down to the very essence of our faith and discuss debt. As sinners, we expect to get what is “owed” to us just like the unforgiving servant in this parable. However, we will examine how we need to remember to make a conscious effort to be merciful and forgiving. We will pray for help to remember what Jesus did for us when we feel wronged by other people. I challenge you to pray this prayer at home with your children this week, and ask yourselves this “big question,” “How well do you reflect God’s forgiveness of you when you need to forgive others?”
READING SKILLS and STRATEGIES
Your kids will really enjoy revisiting predicting this week. Although we predict ALL THE TIME, zoning in on making and confirming predictions through clues in the text, the pictures, and what we already know is a great skill to formally practice. It's what "good readers" do!

GRAMMAR and WRITING
We will continue to read March Book Madness books and write book reviews. It's been really interesting seeing all the diverse reactions to the different books. Your kids are really working hard on explaining their thinking. Your second graders are also buckling down and concentrating on what we know about grammar and spelling as they write. Pretty soon the hallways of our school will be filled with reviews! I hope you get a chance to check it out. Voting starts soon!!!
