A big welcome to the 22 first years who will be in my Religion class this year!  We'll be studying from the series "Blest Are We".  The first section will introduce us to our Awesome God!  We'll be singing, role playing, doing some writing and art in this class as we begin our journey of faith 

We'll be learning how to form our manuscript letters better.  We'll begin with basic strokes such as straight line and slant line.  We'll work on good posture and holding our pencils correctly.  To be a good writer we need to continue to practice at home and do our best writing in all of our academic subjects.

We will be assessing our students to find which group will be best for the individuals.  Students should be receiving their readers after Labor Day.

We'll be doing some journaling at first to see where the students are in their creative writing process.

Social Studies will be our focus in August/September.  We're beginning with the study of our country and its government. 

September 17 is Constitution Day, so look for some updates about Lial's celebration of this special day!

Our year will be begin with a focus on safe practices.  The very first day of school, all Primary children will view  a bus safety video.  We'll be reinforcing that in Health class, along with ways to be safe with other forms of transportation.
