Dear Parents,

Week at a Glance

This week in math we are subtracting numbers to twenty and practicing subtraction strategies. In social studies we are learning about our land and how God wants us to care for it. In handwriting we are practicing the letter “u”. During our language class we are learning about compound words, rhyming words, and color words. We are learning about Jesus’ baptism and temptation in religion. Our reading lessons are about the “s” sound spelled “c” and the “j” sound spelled “g”. In science we are learning about different kinds of animals and reviewing for our unit test.

Memory

Our Father, who art in heaven,

hallowed be Thy Name,

Thy kingdom come,

Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.

Give us this day our daily bread; and forgive us our trespasses

as we forgive those who trespass against us;

and lead us not into temptation,

but deliver us from evil.

For Thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory

forever and ever. Amen.
