Week 2: Into the Swing of Things

 

From the class bloggers:     ABBEY AND ADDIE

This week was wonderful! We have a fantastic art project of God’s wonderful sea creatures! 
We also did a prepositions quiz, and sang the preposition song .

This week we did a science lab about electricity. We charged a balloon and spoon for several 
of the experiments. One of the experiments involved a balloon and we rubbed it with felt.

Then we tried to bend the water and it worked! 

From Mrs. R:

A big thank you to all of the parents who attended on Back to School night.  Do not hesitate to contact me throughout the year with any questions.

Student now have over a full week under their belts and a sense of how classes and transitions go.  We are getting better at routines, travel, and organization with fewer reminders. Students are learning how to think first of others (pushing in chairs, waiting turns in the hall). We use what we learned about praying scripturally from Mrs. Carol Martin, one of the founders of Moms In Prayer, to use Bible verses as a starting point for praising God.  Students are writing prayers for the PA announcements.
