In Phonics, we will be reading words that begin with the letter “h”. Each child will be practicing how to write letter “j” and “h”. We are continuing to practice reading Surfer Girl.
In Bible, we will be finishing the Fruit of the Spirit, Love. Each student will draw one thing that they love the most. On Thursday, we will send a baggie home with the children. Please help your child to become aware of things that “smell” and choose one to share with the class on Monday.
