Teacher Username: dmaddick           https://www.kidsa-z.com/main/Login 

-Another way students can access some of the information we use at school is through their Google Classroom. Students have been learning how to login to their Google accounts, and then can find their google classroom

-Memory work for next week is the 1st and 2nd Commandment and the meaning. This is the first time students have worked on the meaning of the Commandments. Students may say one commandment at a time, but they need to say the meaning with the commandment. We should fear and love God...

-Thanks for the great first week. I CAN'T WAIT for our first full week of school next week.

-Spelling Words are in the red folder. We are using List 1. Feel free to get a head start. We will take a pretest on Monday, and the final test on Friday. There is a sheet of paper that parents do not need to return that talks about spelling. However that sheet of paper will help students if they want to practice spelling at home.

-Another important website that you can use at home to access great school practice is clever.com. Students will need to enter the School that they belong to (Zion Lutheran St. Charles, Missouri) and then should be able to access their information by logging in through their google account. I can help everyone on Tuesday, if they have any other questions.

-Memory work for Friday is the books of the Old Testament. We will practice in class, but some work should happen at home. Old Testament Song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ufHukspJUBA
