Welcome back! I pray that everyone had an enjoyable and
restful Christmas. Thank you to all who
helped with our classroom Christmas celebration. The children had a wonderful time, and I
appreciate the effort that went into making it such an exciting day!
Our classroom is full of excited
learners this year! I will be starting
our Reading Parent program within the next month. If you are interested in becoming a reading
parent, we must have all of your clearances on file in the office. I will send information home to those parents
who were interested in being a reading parent only if we have your clearances
on file. Thanks.
Boxtop collection for this month will be on Tuesday,
January 12. Please keep clipping and
sending those boxtops!
In Bible, we will finish our lessons on the life of Moses
and the Ten Commandments.
Commandments 7-10 are due
Thursday, January 14.
7. You shall not commit adultery.
8. You shall not steal.
9. You shall not give false
testimony.
10. You shall not covet.
We will also be learning about how
Joshua led the Israelites into the Promised Land. We will memorize Joshua 24:15.
"Choose this day whom ye will
serve....But as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord."
This will be due on Thursday,
January 28.
On Monday, January 18, there will be
no school, in observance of Martin Luther King, Jr. Day. During the previous week, we will have
discussed the reason for remembering Martin Luther King, Jr., and all that he
did for our nation.
We will be celebrating two birthdays in our class this month, as well
as two half-birthdays.
Our birthdays (and half-birthdays) this month are as follows:
Bridget will have a
birthday on January 15.
Thaddeus will have a birthday
on January 15.
Drew will have a
hallf-birthday on January 6.
Henry will have a
half-birthday on January 9.
I neglected to add a half-birthday
to the December newsletter last month.
Nevaeh had a half-birthday on December 29.
On January 21, we will have a
school-wide Spirit Day. This month’s
Spirit Day is Crazy Hat Day. Have fun!
Please send your child to school dressed appropriately for
the winter weather. This includes a coat
that can zipper/button up the front, a hat or hood, and gloves or mittens. We do go outside when it is cold.
As always, if you have any questions
or concerns, feel free to contact me by note or email (jmcclurebcs@gmail.com). Enjoy the winter weather, and stay warm!
In Him,
Jackie McClure
