Objectives and Lesson Plans – February 20-24, 2017

DRESS FOR CULTURE DAY is this Friday!

As part of this year’s Cayfest, the Cayman National Cultural Foundation (CNCF) has invited First Baptist Christian School (and schools across the Cayman Islands) to join hands with them by participating in Dress for Culture Day. This year, Dress for Culture Day will be held on Friday, February 24th (the last Friday of the month).
By donating $3, children will be able to positively impact the lives of other children. The CNCF supports local children and young people by providing creative outlets that have a local and global reach, such as Young at Arts, Summer Arts Camp and Young Image Makers, Cultural Internships and more.

Through working together to celebrate our similarities and differences, we can have a more significant impact on our development as human beings and the growth of the nation.

Reading Pizza Party

star_wars_reading

As an added incentive to get everyone reading more, I’ve created a little challenge for the clsss…

EVERYONE who increases their A.R. scores by at least 20 points will get to have a pizza party on May 4th. 🙂 Please send me an email if you’d like to know how many points your child currently has.

Happy Reading and MAY THE FOURTH BE WITH YOU.

Our ‘Dog’ Party

We had an absolute blast during our class party for Because of Winn-Dixie. We really enjoyed being able to sample the foods from the book, especially experience the full ‘melancholy’ effect of the Litmus Lozenges. 🙂

Thank you parents, for being so amazing!
