Week of September 14th

 

What is 1st Grade Learning? 

Religion

We will read how God showed that he is ruler over all when he sent a flood to punish the people and when he confused the languages during the building of the tower of Babel.  We know that we can trust in God as our ruler as He is in control of all things and saves us through His Son Jesus. 

Memory: First Article of the Apostles Creed (Creation)  

I believe in God, the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth.

The students will learn about features (characters, setting, real events) in a realistic fiction story as they read Henry on Wheels.
