The First Class at JCA





Have you ever seen a better looking bunch of kids???? I just get choked up looking at this picture when I realize this is THE FIRST CLASS AT JCA!!! I have pictures of my mom at Highlonesome School years ago which mean so much to me. Someday this picture will be the same! These guys are making history! Plus, they are really, really cute!

Students are learning about the letter "u" this week. We made "u" out of clay, and we have practiced writing "u" over and over. Some students are finding it very challenging to write a "u", as well as the number 2! They are learning that practice makes perfect!
We have also been learning a lot about patterns. Today, we used pipe cleaners and beads to make a pattern out of colored beads, picking out the right color and the right amount of beads. Then, we repeated the pattern, and finally, finished up by counting the total number of beads used to make the pattern two times.
The students also played Bingo today using colors and shapes. They are superstars when it comes to colors and shapes!
Ms. Corrina helped them practice identifying ABCs on computer games. Computer time is definitely an exciting and favorite time during the day!
We learned a new song today. Some of you will remember this: The B-i-b-l-e, Yes, that's the book for me.....I stand alone on the Word of God, the B-i-b-l-e. And, during our prayer time today, we prayed for Ms. Frances because she is not feeling well.
Tomorrow, we will practice the "u" and the number 2 again........we are going to get good at this. Just you wait and see!
