First Day of School















We had a party to celebrate the first day of school! I wanted to celebrate a new school year, making new friends and learning new things. We also talked about running to win.  Our Bible verse this week is 1 Corinthians 9:24-25, "Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one gets the prize? Run in such a way as to get the prize. Everyone who competes in the games goes into strict training. They do it to get a crown that will not last, but we do it to get a crown that will last forever."  Below is a link to a video that helped explain this verse.


We also took a math fact quiz.  Please have your student work a few minutes every day on their math facts.  Mathfactspro.com is a great site.  We will also be working on Khan Academy.  I need your permission to set up an account for your child.  I will send that form plus our classroom guidelines home tomorrow so that you can sign them and return them ASAP.  Thanks for your support and prayers!
