What a great second week of school! Even though it was a shortened week because of the typhoon on Monday, we were still able to have a great week.

In Reading we continued building stamina in our independent reading.  We talked about what it looks like to read independently and then the students found a spot in the room to practice.  Today we reached our highest time at 15 minutes!!  We also learned how to ask ourselves questions while we are reading to make sure we are understanding the book.

This week in Bible we learned about how God created the world in 7 days.  We made these fun bookmarks to help us remember all the amazing things that God created!

For Math we reviewed and learned about clocks by reading clocks and changing clocks to match the correct time.  We also practiced identifying quarters, dimes, nickels, and pennies and counting money.  In Writing we practiced writing good sentences.  We learned about nouns and verbs and how both of these are needed to make a sentence.  We then practiced making super sentences with many details.

Important Information for next week:

1. Spelling Words: mud, puppy, under, contest, will, little, print, lost, block, this, spell, ever

2. Bible Memory Verse: "He doesn't change his mind. He speaks, and then he acts. He makes a promise, and then he keeps it."  Numbers 23:19
