What We’re Learning:
SSRW: We will spend time working on letters j, k l and m. We are also working on identifying beginning and ending sounds.
Handwriting: We continue to learn to use the basic strokes for handwriting. A song we are sharing with grandparents/special guests is about handwriting (as your child to sing it for you!)
Math: We will continue to work on numbers 1 through 10.
Geography: We will paint a picture of Michigan’s state flower and state bird, and read stories about Michigan.
Bible Story: We will hear about Abraham and the birth of his son Isaac. Our Bible verse for October is Psalm 34:1. See below in the homework section.
Science: We will continue to learn about leaves and trees.
Poetry: We will memorize a poem called, “See You Later”.
Virtue Study: We are happy to be able to invite guests to be our chapel speakers again this year! If you know a priest or pastor or someone else you think would enjoy speaking to our students and staff about SELF-DISCIPLINE, FRIENDSHIP, GRATITUDE, or FAITH, please contact Anne Poortenga apoortenga@trinitasclassical.org.
Homework
Our verse for October is from Psalm 34:1
“I will bless the Lord at all times;
His praise shall continually be in my mouth.” Psalm 34:1.
We have a song that goes with this which we will be singing in morning prayer.
I am sending home two phonics pages to be returned next week or the week after.
