News and Notes from Grade Two
September 27, 2010
Theme: The Fruits of the Spirit
Religion: Bible Truths: Moses and Pharaoh
The Exodus
Please note: The following memory is from the 1986 copyright Luther’s Small Catechism. You may prefer that your child learn the Commandments from the 1971 copyright version. You may wish to check as to what version your pastor will be using during Confirmation. Either version is fine with me.
Memory: For Tuesday, September 28th Study:
The First Commandment: You shall have no other gods. What does this mean? We should fear, love, and trust in God above all things.
For Wednesday, September 29th Study:
The Second Commandment: You shall not misuse the name of the Lord you God.
For Thursday, September 30th Study:
The Third Commandment: Remember the Sabbath day by keeping it holy.
For Friday, October 1st Study:
Honor your father and your mother.

Math: PLEASE KEEP WORKING ON MATH FACTS WITH YOUR STUDENT----It is imperative that the addition and subtraction facts be MEMORIZED by the end of grade two. Grade three math (and beyond) will be so much easier if the children will practice, practice, and practice some more on getting these facts memorized!! I know you want to help them do their best. I am working to assist you here at school and your child needs your support at home on this as well. Thank you.
