Teacher: Miss Megan October 31- November 4 Dear Parents, We had a great time learning about Transportation last week. We had an all girls day on Friday so our boat floating turned into manicure time. This week we will be learning about the letter Pp (Peacock) and our 20s. We have started learning the Ten Commandments and will continue learning My Country Tis of Thee, and our Life of Christ Scriptures. These verses are coming a little harder than Psalm 100 so any extra practice at home would be great. We have learned Luke 2:11 (For Unto you is born this day in the city of David, a Savior which is Christ, the Lord) and will add Luke 2:52 (And Jesus increased in wisdom and in stature and in favor with God and man.) Our weekly theme is Birds.
