We had a wonderful time honoring our grandparents yesterday! The children did a super job during the assembly reciting the lines of the Grandparent's Day poem that they wrote. They were so proud of the cards that they made, too! If your child's grandparents were not able to attend, be sure to mail them their special gift!
Here are some other things we learned:
- Reading - We began a new unit on courage by reading a selection titled Molly the Brave and Me. While reading, we practiced using the comprehension strategies that we've learned this year.
- Writing - We talked about what a personal narrative is, and the children wrote narratives about times when they were courageous.
- Science - We began a unit on matter.
- Math - We continued our measurement unit, and practiced some simple multiplication, too! (On Monday, the Young Scientists went to the Science Lab and practiced measurement while making English muffin pizzas. We talked about how the pizzas underwent a chemical change.)
- Language Arts - We reviewed synonyms, antonyms, and point of view.
- Bible - We talked about Jesus' parable of the sheep and the goats and discusses how, when we do things for other people, we are really doing them for the Lord.
Here are some reminders:
- Next TUESDAY, MARCH 2ND is Dr. Seuss' birthday! Your child may come to school dressed like a Dr. Seuss character on FRIDAY, MARCH 5TH. (We were initially going to dress up on Tuesday, but the date has been changed to FRIDAY! THANKS!)

Last Saturday night at church, many people gave "cardboard testimonies." We took a piece of cardboard; on one side, we wrote a word or a phrase describing what our lives were like before we knew Christ. On the other side, we wrote about what our lives have been like since accepting Christ as our Savior. Then, one at a time, people walked up to the front, showed the "before" side of their sign for about 15 seconds, then turned it around and showed the "since" side. It was very powerful to see the many ways that people's lives have been changed! If you do not yet know Jesus Christ as your personal Savior, I would love to talk to you about it! Feel free to e-mail me, call me, or stop by my classroom any time! "For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life" (John 3:16)
Enjoy your weekend!
In Christ's Name,
Mrs. Corsino and Mrs. Ludwig
