A new week, a new chance to learn!

•  Math- simple beginning patterns, spatial reasoning, and sorting 
•  Bible lesson- Genesis 1:1-31. Genesis 1:1 (here is a link so that you can talk and read the story at home with your child if you wish)
•  Bible Verse- "I am wonderfully made" Psalm 139:14 (I hope that this story and this Bible verse will teach your child that they are wonderful, beautiful and perfect in Gods eyes!)

Over the weekend someone presented me with a Bible verse that helps guide me in my work... It reminds me of why I love teaching about God. 

'Train up a child in the way he should go; even when he is old he will not depart from it.'

Proverbs 22:61

No matter where life's journey takes me I will always remember what I was taught about God as a child. 

 Just some reminders...

• Show and Tell is Friday Please have your child bring something that starts with E or F this is a fun way to reinforce the letter sound at home. (PLEASE no violent toys or 'weapons')  
• While the weather is still nice and hot/warm please feel free to send your child with a water bottle labeled with their name (water only please).  
• Our class is in search of small stuffed animals (beanie baby size) that will match our Zoo Phonics animals. If you are interested in helping us look please let myself or Miss Mellyn know.
• Remember to read to your child every day!! It truly does so much for them!!! Here is a new link about reading to  children. https://www.earlymoments.com/promoting-literacy-and-a-love-of-reading/why-reading-to-children-is-important/
