Queridos Padres,
Devotions are always some of my favorite times with my students, and I wanted to share with you how they are enjoying and reflecting on our almighty God. I am humbled, amazed and SO grateful that we get to serve a God who loves us unconditionally.
I also want to thank the parents who will be helping us monitoring the classroom while I have lunch with one or two students on Friday. During this time the children and I can share more.
Thanks for your continued prayers for unity throughout this year!
Blessings,
Hilda Durán
This Week:
Bible Memory Verse: Most of them did awesomely! Thanks for all your help at home. Our Next Bible Verse is Psalm 105:4-6
Due Date: September 30
Bible: We have wrapped up our first Bible unit about “The Christian Life” and James. Now we are going back to Old Testament times. Late last week we talked about the creation story and celebrated how creative and powerful our God is by focusing on these words... Y DIOS DIJO. AND GOD SAID. With only words he made everything... it doesn’t get more powerful than that! This week will review a ton from the Old Testament that was covered in first grade; we’ll cover Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Joseph, Moses, the judges, and the kings (Saul, David, and Solomon)! Did I mention that it’s going to be a brief review? :)

Word Wall Words: veo, bueno, bien, viene, olvidar.
Poem: La gata Maroma
Reading: This week we will begin to build stamina as we read with a friend.
This will be a crucial part of our reading program and we’ll learn how to make good use of this time. We will learn how and when to help our partner during reading by encouraging the use of our reading strategies. We’ll also focus on dividing words into syllables and looking for parts in words that we already know (such as gozo in gozoso).
Writing: This week we will continue zooming in on the heart of our stories. We’ll learn how to reveal the most important part and include details about emotions. We will also focus on integrating capital letters and periods to make sure we are writing complete sentences.
Math: We are working identifying numbers as odd or even. Later this week we will work in equations chains and word problems. They are doing amazing job during Math time.
Social Studies: This week We are moving into our second social studies unit which focuses on where our community is geographically. We will learn about maps (map keys, titles, and symbols) as well as making a map of our local community. I know many of you are from Holland, Hudsonville, etc., but to keep us all on the same page we are going to focus on Zeeland because it is our local school community.
“Housekeeping” Items:
September 20: NO PM busing
September 26: Field trip to Crane’s Apple Orchard! Kids will need a sack lunch, drink, good walking shoes, and dressed for the weather. We will leave right away in the morning (8:50) and return after lunch.
September 27: No School
September 30: School Pictures
