I would love to have volunteers during our center times from 10:00-11:30 daily. Please let the office know if you would like to volunteer at any capacity on our campus. They will give you a background check first, and then will let me know when you can come into our classroom to volunteer! Thank you so much for your sweet offers to help our class already!

Memory Verse
MEMORY VERSE:
"23 This is what the Lord says:
“Let not the wise boast of their wisdom
or the strong boast of their strength
or the rich boast of their riches,"
Jeremiah 9:23
This is a section of the whole school memory verse: Jeremiah 9:23-24 that we will be learning by the end of the month of September. Please review the meaning behind this verse and verse 24 with your family too. Thank you for your continued support in helping your student practice their memory verse!
A test will be given on Friday, September 12 to see how well your student can remember this verse. This will be placed in the Gradebook. Remembering God's Word helps us in so many areas of life. I will help your student remember the words with actions and guidance, during the test. Please let me know if you have any questions.

*This is a place where you will find High Frequency Words your students will be asked to review at home. We do not have High Frequency Words this week.
*Usually during the week, we will be learning Math Facts, practicing them in center time, and then asking parents to help students at home practice these Math Facts (example: 1+1). However, for the first beginning weeks of Kindergarten, your students are learning number sense: identifying numbers, writing them, and matching the correct number to the correct number of items. Stay tuned here for the Math Facts for homework in the future!
