This week we only have three lessons with chapel being on Tuesday.   Offerings for this month will be given to the Orphan Grain Train. 

Our Bible lessons find us learning about Abraham, Sarah and Issac.   We will see the continued theme of 'God has a plan' through these accounts.  God keeps His promises to us just as He kept His promises to Abraham and Sarah with the gift of a son. 

Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name.  Thy kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.  Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us. 

Our letter and sound for the week ahead belongs to /g/.  This letter is a also a bit  challenging  to write but builds upon the the others that we have been working on in the past weeks.  

Our reader is titled "School" which helps us to learn to recognize the word 'and' in print and text. 

We have enjoyed making inferences and will continue to work with this concept in the week ahead.  You can help your child with this skill by playing games like " I am thinking of..."  and " I Spy".  Both allow children to hear clues and use their background knowledge to come up with an answer. 

Comparing has been a bit more of a challenge for some, but we have revisited as needed and are ready to finish up this unit.   Clip board math is this week.  Then we move on to a new unit which helps us to learn numbers 6 to 10.

Our new unit for this week helps us to think about day and night.  Can you see the moon during the day?   We certainly have seen it on these hot days with clear blue skies!   Why??  We will also address shadows and what is needed to make them.
