The students completed their positive caterpillar for the week, so for our “Fun Friday” surprise, we made homemade butter. The kids had a blast as they shook and shook the heavy whipping until butter emerged : ) We enjoyed our homemade butter with Italian bread and crackers.

Students have been working on learning their states in alphabetical order by singing a song. To go along with the theme, we have been receiving one postcard per week from across the United States. By the end of our study we will collect all 50 postcards representing all 50 states from our friends across the United States. So far we have received Pennsylvania and Delaware. Next week we will study New Jersey.

Study on word families. This is our fishy word families, just like a fish swims with their family… so do our words. The students had to locate which fish went with the family represented. A fun activity : )

Great Job Jaedyn! You wrote all your ABC’s

The first graders have been working on number words and numbers- here is an octopus activity we did to learn this concept.

We studied how to pray:

1. Praise God

2. Confess our sins

3. Thank God

4. Pray for others

5. Pray for self

6. Closing

We also learned J.O.Y:

J: Jesus First

O: Others Second

Y: Yourself Last

The kids have spent quite a bit of time looking for caterpillars during recess (finding many along the way). This has become such an interest that I turned it into a bible study. We made “Gospel Caterpillars” to go along with the “Gospel Story”. Each color on our “Gospel Caterpillars” represented a part of the plan of salvation:

Black : Sin

Red: Christ’s blood

Blue: Baptism

White: We are as washed from sin and are as white as snow because of Christ’s blood

Green: We grow in knowledge and faith through reading the bible daily

Yellow: By living a life of faithfulness we will receive the crown of life
