Christmas Doggy

Looks like Christmas Doggy got to spend Christmas break with all of his friends at Covenant Acadamy. Doggy tells me he had lots of fun and got to go a lot of places and do a lot of things with his friends. Doggy told me that Samantha took me to the mall, Easton took me to get an outfit, Ethan broke my arm, Shawntook me to Wal Mart, Shelby took me to get my flu shot, Michael played his DS with me, Emma Kate took me to Baskin Robbins for ice cream, Gunnar watched TV with me, Tony let me look at his Pokemon cards, Carter let me camp out in a tent, David played legos with me, Terry took me to a party, Naomi took me to church, Newby took me to the bank, Sydney watched Shaggy and Scooby with me, Daniel watched a movie with me, Elijah let me watch Santa Buddies. And that just a short list of what all I got to do. Christmas Doggie wants to thank all of his friends for spending time with him.

Caught being Good & Fair Trip

DILLON HALEY RECEIVED THE CAUGHT YOU BEING GOOD AWARD ON 9-3-08

HE RECEIVED HIS AWARD FOR MAKING NEW FRIENDS AT A NEW SCHOOL

FIELD TRIP TO THE FAIR

Hello!

Dear Parents,

Thank you for encouraging your child to read nightly. There is no REQUIRED number of books for first or any grade.

Reading involves hundreds of small skills integrated to help correctly pronounce words and to comprehend the meaning.

Each first grader begins at his/her own level. A book is appropriate if help is needed on only one or two words in the book. Stopping to sound out words or ask for help on sight words slows down enjoyable independent reading.

A reasonable time expectation for early elementary is about ten to fifteen minutes of reading in a quiet environment.

How are we doing??? From my perspective, I've noticed improved word recall and expression during the first four weeks of school Most pupils have read 60 books or about three short books a day.

God Bless you,

Mrs. Mildred

WHO WAS CAUGHT BEING GOOD???

Ephesians 6:10-11 THE ARMOR OF GOD

10: Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. 11:Put on the full armor of God so that you can take your stand against the devil's schemes.

Letter from Mrs. Mildred

Dear Parents,

I rejoice at the talented children you've sent to Covenant Acadmey. I pray God's blessing on your family. I thank you for your support. Please feel free all year to offer suggestions.

Sincerely,

Mrs. Mildred

Mrs. Mildred would like you to practice the First Grade Prayer Song at home!!!

For mother's love & father's care.

For food to eat & clothes to wear.

For home & school & friends who share.

We thank you Lord."

Chapel Today

Today's verse from chapel was:

Hebrews 13:16

And don’t forget to do good and to share with those in need. These are the sacrifices that please God.

Mrs. Mildred read the book:

The Best Kid in the World, a SugarLoaf Book

When SugarLoaf discovers that her parents once bestowed the Best Kid in the World Award on her brother, her first thought is:
But...
but...
but what about me?
She wants to be the Best Kid in the World, so she decides to be so very helpful that her parents can't not give the award to her. However, every one of SugarLoaf's good deeds ends in disaster, and it seems that the award is farther away from her grasp than ever. But what she doesn't realize is that trying counts for a lot, so she might have a better chance at taking the Best Kid in the World throne than she imagines.
