      The first full week of school is almost completed!  There have been adjustments for everyone as we try to get into a new routine.  I am looking forward to a great year with this class!

      I appreciate the time parents took to come out for our Parent-Teacher evening.  Thank you.

      Slowly but surely, I will try to get information and items of interest up on my Chalkboard.

      Our last Bible memory work for this school year is from Romans 8, verses 31-32, 35, 37-39.  Students have a copy in their agendas.  If you wish to memorize from a translation other than NIV, please provide me with a copy before June 11. 

    • Community Learning Project

      Students will be quizzed on Matthew 11: 28-30 on Friday March 2.

    • Bible Memory

      We are learning about prayer in Bible class and devotions.  The students are memorizing The Lord's Prayer and will be quizzed on Wednesday February 8. 

    • Family Bible Memory

      November 3, 2011

      It is time to start thinking about choosing a Bible passage to memorize!  Due date is now Friday January 27.

      By the end of January or early February, students will recite, from memory, a 5 to 8 verse Bible passage they have worked on with the help of their families.  This passage may be a Psalm, a teaching of Jesus, an epistle excerpt, a parable or other story, etc.  The text should hang together -- not random verses -- but verses may be omitted to end up with a more understandable piece.

      Generally, Grade 3's will be expected to learn a longer text than Grade 2's, but take into consideration your child's ability.

      We will still be doing our regular Bible memorization as well.  Contact me if you have questions.

    • Interview

      November 2, 2011

      We want to put into practice the injunction in our recent Bible memory passage from Psalm 105, to remember and tell about God's wonderful acts and miracles.  Students are to ask their parents or grandparents to tell them a story of God's wonderful acts in their own lives, recently or in the past.  Then the students will retell their stories to the class during our morning devotions.  We hope to hear a few stories every day over the next week!

    • Bible memory

      October 17, 2011

      October's Bible memory work is Psalm 105:1-6.  This is due Wednesday October 26.  I mark memory work on a scale of 1 to 4:  1= not meeting expectation, 2= minimal, 3= meeting expectation, and 4= exceeding expectation.  Grade Two students need to memorize verses 1-4 to "meet expectation".  Grade 3 students need to memorize verses 1-5 to "meet expectation".
