The First Article pg. 16 “The First Article: Creation
I believe in God, the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth. What does this mean? I believe that God has made me and all creatures; that He has given me my body and soul, eyes, ears, and all my members, my reason and all my senses, and still takes care of them.
Multiplication Memorization
We are going over the Multiplication Tables of 0 – 12 this quarter. Please practice the tables using flash cards, computer games, etc. so that your child can increase in speed and accuracy. We will be taking multiplication tests over each of the tables at the beginning next week. Your child will need to know each fact and answer in 2-3 seconds and will need to get a score of at least 100% to pass each timed test and move on to the next one. Students will be working to earn a special treat for passing each of the tests. Please prepare your child to answer the multiplication tables of 6 – 8 for next week so that your child may test out of those tables. We will test on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays.
Valentine’s Day Party
We will be having our Valentine’s Day Party on Friday, February 14th from 2:30 – 3:20 pm. Please be sure your child has a Valentine for each student in the class. A corrrected list of student names is being sent home in the Thursday Folder to be used when addressing Valentine’s. Please do not send a Valentine’s box this year because will be decorating Valentine mailbags and crafting with Mrs. Kruz in the classroom before the party. Please contact our room mothers Sarah Guild and Jill Griest if you would like to help out with games, treats, etc. Thank you!
Book-It Please continue recording your child’s minutes of reading outside of school. Be sure you and your child sign the completed calendar.
