Dear Parents,
We need a Homeroom Sponsor/Room Parent to help organize class parties and special events! If I have overlooked this detail and someone has graciously volunteered, please accept my apology!
Have you noticed the CCS Brag Board near the library? Our students are AWESOME, and we just have to brag! Second and Third Grade is getting noticed for their courtesy in the hallways and in the classroom. Last Thursday, I had the misfortune of locking myself out of the house with no car keys. By the time I got to school almost 45 minutes late, I found my students working hard under the supervision of Miss Becky - they had already said the pledges to the American and Texas flags and prayed the Lord's Prayer, and were working in their handwriting books. What a joy to witness our students taking responsibility and following procedures!
This week in Bible we will learn more about Samuel and how he served the Lord with all his heart. He was the last Judge God appointed and lived to see King Saul become the first king that God gave the people of Israel. We will finish the Judges lapbook.
In History, we will explore the Old Kingdom of Egypt - the period of the Giza pyramids. Remember
that projects representing daily life in Egypt are due by Friday.
Our Literature selection is Mr. Popper's Penguins - this week we are in chapter 3 and Captain Cook has just arrived at the Popper household! What will happen now that a penguin has taken over the house, and what in the world will Mama have to say about this??
In Language Arts we begin Unit 2 in Superkids. Spelling words will come home on Monday - Please remember that the spelling test on Friday will include all 12 Memory Words and 3 random words from the Pattern Word list. I also give 3 bonus words from the Pattern Word list. It is important to practice the words every night! The words are grouped to teach phonetic skills as well as sight word usage.
