Dear Parents,
I will be out this Friday, September 12 and Monday through Wednesday next week. Mr. Lyons will be here in my place. Please be sure to check Mrs. Vanderkooi’s newsletter on Monday, September 15 for next week’s spelling list and memory verse .
Math
Students will take a test this Friday. Topics covered are simplifying an expression and completing a function table.
Social Studies
The next test will be this Friday. Topics covered are the Olmec, Maya, and Mound Builders civilizations. This test will be open book. Future tests will not be open book.
Reading
Students are reading books in a literature group. These groups are dynamic. Any student can be moved to another group as my observations deem it beneficial to do so. The goal of every group is to analyze characters as well as identify themes and author’s purpose. Students share opinions while needing to support these by reference to the text.
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.
John 3:16
