Thank
you for helping to get our school year off to such a wonderful start! I have been enjoying my time with your
children thus far, and am so very glad that we have the rest of the year to
spend together.
Bible
memory books are due on Thursday, October 5. The verse for Thursday is Genesis
28:15 - "I am with you and will keep you wherever you go and will bring
you back to this land."
Please be sure to send your child's Bible
memory book to school on Thursday, October 5. I will send a new verse on
Monday, October 9.
Grandparents’
Day is on Friday, October 6. Please
keep in mind that this is a half-day of school. Our day will end at 12:30 . We will not be
having lunch at school on half-days. We will have a snack time in the
classroom. Please be sure to send
a healthy snack to school with your child.
Our
Field Trip to Ashland Nature Center Ashland
Picture Day will be Wednesday, October 18. You will receive more information in the white
envelopes closer to that day.
The
Annual Banquet is on Friday, October 20 here at the school. It is going to be a
wonderful evening celebrating God's provision for our school. Fourth and fifth
grades are performing and childcare will be provided. Please be sure to send
your RSVP; I hope to see you there!
We
are celebrating one birthday this month:
Mahayla
has a birthday on October 11.
Happy birthday, Mahayla!
Our
classroom is full of excited learners this year! We have been reading Colors Glowing,
our first story reader of the year. The
students are having a good time reading about the Miller and Lopez families,
and we have had a few good laughs together at some of the silly situations that
the characters find themselves in! Reading
We
are working on many interesting things in math class this year, and I would like to ask for your help. I would like each child to spend some time at
home practicing math flash cards for addition and subtraction. These can be bought (they are available at
Wal-Mart, as well as well as many other stores) or made with index cards or
poster board. Children should practice
addition and subtraction facts up to 20.
This will help your child as concepts become more difficult in math
class, as well as when we begin administering timed tests. We've started using
our Kickin' It math minutes program this week and the students are very excited
to begin earning belts for knowing math facts!
We need a few items for our next chapter in science. I've created a Sign-Up Genius for these items. The paper plates are actually needed for this Wednesday. So sorry for late notice, but I'm still becoming familiar with this new science program.

A
Look Ahead:
~The
First Quarter will end on Friday, November 3.
Report Cards will be sent home via RenWeb on Friday, November 10.
Please
be sure that your child is returning all homework in a timely manner. Math homework is sent periodically, and
should be returned on the date stamped on the paper.
Thanks!
Again, thank you for your help thus far, and I look forward to continuing to work with each of you as our school year progresses.
