We began our first day thinking about our thoughts, which are our private mental processes. We have been discussing human behavior and trying to understand why we are the way we are. There are several reasons why humans behave in certain ways and psychologist have been studying this, many years. We are now moving into chapter 2 which discusses psychological research methods.

Welcome to the world of poetry! We are developing a poetry portfolio through out the entire first quarter. We have been discussing several topics including our personal hero’s. On back to school night parents will see that the majority of the students have chosen their moms or dad. Thumbs up to the parents who have sacrificed to put their children in our school. You have influenced your own children and it shows in the classroom.

Coming up in November – a special visitor to Pre-K 4. To help celebrate the color purple, we will have a visit from Miss Purple, Miss Holden’s beautiful twin sister. What will we do? Come back next month and find out!
Miss Holden
Silly songs continue to be a part of our class. We are learning “On Top of Spaghetti”, and have fun doing “The Train Game” and “The Elephant Song.”
Miss Holden
We learned about Adam and Eve in the Bible, and that God wants us to obey Him, our moms and dads, and our teachers. We are learning to say Gen. 1:31, Col 3:20 and Gen 9:13. We worship and pray together every day.
Miss Holden
When we learned the letter “f” we had a very special event. We had a Funny Feet Day.” We brought slippers from home and put them on in school. Then we marched to different classes in the school and sang a song about our Funny Feet. The other classes liked hearing our song. Even the teachers wore silly slippers. We made brown gorillas and decorated them with chocolate chips and dry coffee grounds. Our class smelled good! Our orange pumpkins decorated the hallway bulletin board. We made frog puppets and an elephant on a stick.
Miss Holden
Pre-K 4 continues to be a fun and busy place.We have learned up to the number 5 and made sheep out of our hands! Maybe in November we will get up to the number 10! We created our own picturess using just rectangles. Our Oscar Ovals looked silly with beards, musaches and funny-colored hair. We played real triangles and colored and cut out diamonds.
Miss Holden
Greetings again from the Middle School and High School Resource Room!
We just finished “Back-to-School Night” for both middle and high school and I had a great time meeting both new and old parents. It looks like Resource is on it’s way to working at facilitating team effort between teacher, parent and student. The parents I met are active in their child’s education and will be a great mix of help, accountability and encouragement to them. The time with them was both informative and important for student success. Our concentration with the students this month is on self-management and productivity in class. Note taking skills are revisited and expounded on to improve student notes as a tool for studying for tests. We have a lot to look forward to as God’s plan for each student unfolds.
