Dear Parents,

Every parent teacher conference, whether in person or other form of communication (email, phone), is evidence of the great community we have at FCS. I look forward to this vital partnership throughout the rest of the school year.

This Week’s Memory Verse

 

Students will be graded on writing the verse accurately, including correct wording, spelling, punctuation, grammar and scripture reference.

He saved us, not because of righteous things we had done, but because of His mercy. He saved us through the washing of rebirth and renewal by the Holy Spirit. 

Titus 3:5

 

Testing

 

Friday will be testing day. Every week students will be tested in spelling/vocabulary, memory verse, reading comprehension, and social studies.

 

Students are working on character analysis as our response to literature. I will be sending instructions on a take home assignment this Friday. It will be due on Friday, October 10.

 

Special Note: Normally a student may retake a test if he/she scores a C or less for the max score of a B. When it is apparent, as in the case of our test on Addition and Subtraction of Whole Numbers and Decimals that the majority of the class had a misconception, I allow the entire class to do a retake for a max score of an A.
