K-1st: Mrs. Eckstrand
This week our 2 Bible stories are "Jesus heals a Paralyzed man" and "Jairus' Daughter". In both lessons we learn about Jesus' power. First to forgive us and heal our hearts, then to heal our bodies. He made a paralyzed man in Capernaum walk, and he brought Jairus' daughter back to life after she died. Only God has power to raise us back to life to live with him in Heaven. Whenever we have troubles, we know that we can turn to God in prayer and he will take care of our troubles. "Cast all your anxieties on Him, because He cares for you" 1 Peter 5:7.
In Math, Kindergarten is breaking apart the numbers 1-5 and creating all the number bonds they can for each number. 1st grade is still comparing numbers, and has added bar models to compare with.
In Reading, Kindergarten met Ettabetta, who loves game books. They will focus on the short /e/ sound of Ee. 1st grade took a Unit 5 test, and will begin investigating the long vowel sounds with unit 6. There WILL be a spelling test next Wednesday, even with the day off since they should know all or most of the words on their new list 6.1 long o, e, and u pattern words.
In Social studies we started a new unit that will focus on our country. We will begin with the pilgrims and early settlers. In Science the plant kingdom continues to be explored.
We are still working toward our 7-day goals for working quietly and being a good friend. If we can get 3 more days of quiet working and kindness then there is ice cream to enjoy. Encourage your children to keep working on these goals.

We had a Valentine's Day party where we passed out valentines and did an activity. They each had a heart with their name on it. They passed them around to each student so they could write what they like about each classmate on their heart.
