Day 3 as a Busy Bee...

We had another good day today. It's always great to start to settle into the routines! Today in Math we talked about the terms "same," "less/fewer," and "more." For a quick check with your child, grab a handful of pennies. You can pick a number out of the pile (say 5 for example.) Have your child show you the same number of pennies, fewer pennies, and more pennies. You can also review counting by 10s to 100. Summer is a lot of fun, and sometimes it takes us awhile to remember things we already know! Today was also our first time using our new white boards! A big thank you to Mr. Brandon Smith for cutting them for us! Now we each have our own board to use in our laps! The kids were SO excited! Speaking of our white boards, today during our devotion time we drew something that we were afraid of. Next, we read 1st John 4:18 and talked about how God's perfect love helps to cast out fear. Finally, after declaring to our boards that we had God's perfect love, we erased our fears! On a personal note... I'm so very thankful to work in a private school where we have the opportunity to share about God's love with the children. What a blessing!!
