We had another great week talking about the special families that God gave us! We also worked hard learning the letter “Cc”. The show and tell items helped reinforce the sound “c” makes.  Thank you for helping your child select an item; it is a proud moment when they get to share…and Show and Tell builds confidence, vocabulary, and other language skills!

• Bible Verse: “For nothing is impossible with God.”  Luke 1:37 (We will practice this verse for two weeks.  Practice at home too!)
• Bible: Abraham Shares With Lot
• Reading/Phonemic Awareness: We will introduce the letter “Oo” and the short vowel sound that /o/makes (think octopus and octagon). We will continue to learn that words have syllables.
• Math: #3
• Unit: Five Senses
• Show and Tell: To reinforce the short /o/ sound, we will learn about opposites.  Bring two pictures that show opposites…such as happy/sad, big/little, fast/slow, etc… (An example of fast/slow could be a race car and a turtle.)  Please glue these pictures to the index cards that are in your child’s folder and we will make a class book about opposites.  The children enjoy reading our class books we have made and we appreciate your help with gathering the pictures!

• September 9 - Students may bring a $1 or more donation for the Teacher Compassion Fund and wear spirit dress. 
• September 9 - Cookie Dough orders are due (3 day students may turn in any orders on 9/10).
• September 11 - Picture Day! These pictures will be in our elementary yearbook. Students wear regular dress code.  If you wish to order pictures, you must return the order form (this was in last week’s folder) by next Tuesday, along with payment or you may purchase photos online.  Pictures must be prepaid. If you are not satisfied with the photo, students can have pictures retaken at a later date.
• September 13 - Dads and Donuts and “signing day”. Dads are invited to drop in between 7:00-8:00 a.m. in the cafeteria and start the day with their child and a donut breakfast. “Signing Day” at 7:30 a.m.  Shiloh cheerleaders and football players will be at the elementary drop off area, signing t-shirts and taking pictures with the children.  Children in our 3-day classes are welcome to come to have donuts and to see the football players.  We just will not be in class that day!
• September 27 - Grandparents Day Program (performed by Shiloh third graders) at 9:00 a.m. in the Worship Center. Grandparents and parents are invited to visit our classrooms following the performance. School will be dismissed following the program and there is no extended care on this day.  3 day students are welcome to come enjoy the program with grandparents if they wish!
