BOX TOPS FOR EDUCATION:
This year we will again be participating in the Box Tops for Education fundraiser. Each Box Top collected is worth cash for our school. As an incentive, we will be having a class contest. The class bringing in the most Box Tops at the end of this promotion will receive a “prize.” We will post class totals monthly in the Elementary Office window.
Please hand in your trimmed Box Tops in a Ziploc bag or envelope, labeled with your child’s/teacher’s name and the amount of Box Tops to your teacher. Every Friday, the student bringing in the most for the week from each class will get to choose something from the Treasure Box in the Elementary Office.
You can find a list of Box Tops online at: www.boxtops4education.com.
SEPTEMBER READING:
Students will independently read a book from a different genre each month. Class time will be given every day for silent reading and students are expected to read a minimum of 10 pages a day. If they are unable to complete this in class, then reading becomes homework. The genre for the month of September is mystery. Students should show their selected mystery book to me for approval. Students will write a “Response to Literature” for this book, due at the end of September. Students should wait to write the “Response to Literature” until after I have finished teaching it in class. At that time, a grading rubric will be sent home and students may begin to work on the response.
WRITING:
This week students will practice writing personal opinions of stories in preparation for the 1st Quarter writing assessment, Response to Literature.
MATH:
This week students will learn how to round decimals to the nearest tenth and hundredth, compare and order decimals and whole numbers, and compare integers and decimals. There will be a test on decimal concepts this Friday, September 12.
SCIENCE:
This week we conclude our study of weather.
BIBLE:
This week we continue our study of the Pentateuch.
SCRIPTURE MEMORY VERSE:
Students will memorize scripture weekly and take a written test each Friday. The memory verse for this week is John 3:16 and the test will be this Friday, September 12. Students will be graded on writing the verse accurately, including correct wording, spelling, punctuation, grammar and scripture reference.
For God so loved the world that he gave His only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life.
