Rodeo Day and the month of March

February is over and March is here.  As we celebrate Texas history month, we began March with a rodeo day here at school.  Kids dressed in western apparel and stations were set up for them to rotate through.  They enjoyed a pinto bean race, horseshoes, cow paddy (frisbee) tossing and calf roping as well as horseback riding and a petting zoo.  They also saw first hand how to shoe a horse.

This week in Language we will continue working onwriting skills and story comprehension as kids continue to practice reading skills.

In math we will begin our plus 10 facts and work on various problem solving strategies.

As we study our Texas unit, we will have discussions about our state tree, flower, bird, mammal, gem and other Texas symbols.

Kids will work on the bible memory verse for letter "V".  They have already learned a verse for each letter a-u.  

In Christ,

Johnny
