Week of October 23rd

WOW! We sure had a lot going on last week! 

My camera roll was full of photos! Here's a look back...

Thanks to those of you that were able to go on the field trip with us! 

Listening to the beautiful sounds of the St. Louis Symphony Orchestra was a treat!  

Did you hear about our "publishing party"? 

After finishing our personal narratives, we decided to share them with Mrs. Ladd's class! 

We got to read to our preschool buddies! 

We made sure we had "just right" book for US, and "just right" book for our audience. 

And last but not least, our "Harvest Party" was a HUGE success! 

Thanks to everyone that helped make this such a fun event!

It was a great party! 

CHRISTIAN CHARACTER FORMATION PROJECT 

This week we will learn more about RESPECT as we further study Job. Satan brought Job enormous suffering. In his agony he cried out to the Lord with questions. Eventually we see God's compassion and mercy when He restores everything that Job had lost two times. We'll remember RESPECT as God's power for you to honor Him and others, and ask ourselves, "How can seeing God in everything help you respect Him in every part of your life?" 

PHONICS and SPELLING

There will be no spelling homework this week, but we will be working on spelling commonly misspelled sight words in class. Enjoy the break! 

READING SKILLS and STRATEGIES 

We'll be reviewing all of the skills and strategies we've learned through an "author study" this week. The author we'll be studying Lois Ehlert. She has a very unique style of writing and illustrating. The kiddos are going to LOVE hearing her books and studying her craft! We'll probably be doing a lot of visualizing... which can look a little like napping at times, hehe! 

GRAMMAR and WRITING 

As you probably guessed we'll be doing some fall writing this week. As we study Lois, we might even try writing like her!
