Spelling Words

As I was back in my classroom prepping for the coming week, I marked and looked at Spelling tests. I can see that some of the students are finding it challenging. I know the TOC does it a bit differently than I do, but they are still practicing the words three times per week. If your student is finding that the lists are getting more challenging, can you take a look at them at home this week for some extra practice? Thank you so much!

Grade 1 words:long, wild, sea, flat, bread, child, star, day, wall, milk

Grade 2 words: than, take, season, storm, corn, tree, blow, alike, put, river

Challenge Words: two, maybe, without, male, female

Health Update

Thank you so much for being patient with me as I have been recouperating from a torn meniscus in my knee. It has been a hard go and I am slowly on the mend. My goal is to slowly work back into the classroom starting tomorrow. The TOC will be helping me through the week and I will be teaching each morning and testing out how well my knee is healing. Your prayers and support during ths challenging time has been much appreciated.  I am so excited to see the students tomorrow!

Cozy Casual Day Rescheduled

We missed our Cozy Casual Day last week due to a snow day so it will be rescheduled for Wednesday, January 24th!

Missions Dessert Night!

Please come out and support our missions team at their Dessert Night on January 23rd at 7pm.

Spelling words

Due to the lovely snow days that we had last week, we will be working on the same Spelling Words as we did last week. For those of you who requested Challenge words, here they are: twin, between, twenty, twice, twelve.

Please let me know if your student would like to work on and be tested on the challenge words!

Spelling Words

Thank you so much for your prayers. I am still in need of your prayers and am still home healing. Here are the spelling words for the week of January 15th:

Grade 1: fun, trade,robe, wash, old, little, hot, cold, green, ice

Grade 2: stone, foot, dance, lift, page,after, show, thank,what, moon

Just wanted to check in about spelling. Lots of the kids are getting 10/10 every week. Do you want some challenges for your student? Grade 1s can do grade 2 lists and Grade 2s can have some challenge words. Staying at a grade level pace is also great. If you are wanting some challenges for your student, feel free to send me an email. If you are happy staying in the grade appropriate lists, that will continue as is!

Veggie Soup Day

Tomorrow, Friday, January 12th, the foods class will be preparing a veggie soup made from veggies harvested and frozen from our own Highroad Garden. Each student will receive a small bowl of soup for lunch. It will not be enough for their whole lunch and just in case veggie soup is not a big hit, best to send along a regular lunch.

January/February Memory Verse

Thank you so much for the emails and kind words. I am an active and impatient person so I can see that this will be a growing experience for me!

For those of you who practice the memory verse at home, here is the version we will be practicing with:

1 John 4: 7-12 (NIV)

Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God. Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love. This is how God showed his love among us: He sent his one and only Son into the world that we might live through him. This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins. Dear friends, since God so loved us, we also ought to love one another. No one has ever seen God, but if we love one another, God lives in us and his love is made complete in us.
