Dear Parents,
Week at a Glance
This week in religion we are learning about the events that took place after Easter. For memory we learned Matthew 28:20 which tells us of Jesus’ assurance that He is with us always. In math we are learning about tally charts and creating graphs of information. Our reading lessons are about the “s” sound spelled “c” and the “j” sound spelled “g”. In language we are developing independence with writing sentences and checking for proper punctuation and capitalization. In choir we are learning music for Fine Arts Night. This week’s handwriting lesson is on writing the letter “f”. In science we are researching and taking notes for our science fair topics. In social studies we are learning about how producers, sellers, and buyers work together in the economy.

Memory – Luther’s Evening Prayer
I thank You, my heavenly Father, through Jesus Christ, Your dear Son, that You have graciously kept me this day; and I pray that You would forgive me all my sins where I have done wrong, and graciously keep me this night. For into Your hands I commend myself, my body and soul, and all things. Let Your holy angel be with me, that the evil foe may have no power over me. Amen.
Miss Christian
