Monday Math Facts

First, I want to share the wonderful news that Tristan was baptized this past Sabbath!  What a joyous day that was for all of heaven.  I am so proud of his decision to make Jesus his best friend.

This is a full week and we have a full schedule!  This week we are talking about how God lovingly created and molded us.  Our Bible verse is found in Isaiah 64:8,
"But now, O Lord,
You are our Father;
We are the clay, and You our potter;
And all we are the work of Your hand."
 
We made a brochure today for Family Night Activities that will help the health of our families spiritually, physically and mentally.  Tomorrow the students will take them home and share some of their ideas.  I hope that you are able to implement some of them.

We had our weekly math facts quiz today.  Most of the students improved in at least one area.  But I would like to encourage them to continue working on them at home.  My fourth graders especially need to focus some extra attention on memorizing their multiplication tables.  Here is another site to encourage some extra studying: http://www.free-training-tutorial.com/times-tables-games.htmld

Tomorrow I will also put all of the math assignments up for the week, in case they forget to take their homework sheet home.

Please make sure your student is spending a few minutes a day at home on Spellingcity, definitions, and Readingplus. 

Kudos to my students for getting many positive compliments from the music/art teacher for their great behavior and eagerness to learn!!!

Our quote for today is from Bernard Edmonds, “To dream anything that you want to dream. That's the beauty of the human mind. To do anything that you want to do. That is the strength of the human will. To trust yourself to test your limits. That is the courage to succeed.”
