Dear Families,
HE HAS RISEN INDEED!!!!!! Welcome back to school!!!! I trust you had a wonderful vacation, relaxing with friends and family, celebrating the Resurrection of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. We are ready to dig right in and finish strong as our year begins to wind down, but there is still lots of learning and fun to enjoy!!!
LANGUAGE ARTS – In READING, we will continue with our Literature series Andi’s Pony. They are enjoying the sequels in this study very much. We will also continue to do other comprehension that focuses on drawing inferences from text in preparation for 3rd grade. WRITING – We will begin reviewing from last year the Key Word Outline for our 4th Quarter Benchmark. Since it was also a First Grade benchmark, this should come pretty easily to them.
MATH – We will begin a unit on Time and Calendar as well as continuing to review tripe digit adding and subtraction as well as other previously taught skills.
SOCIAL SCIENCE– We will continue with our unit on the Marketplace.
BIBLE – We will be studying the Ascension and Jesus’ promise that He would be with us always.
THE UGLY DUCKLING – We will be going to the Tower Theatre to see this musical. The date is Tuesday, May 13th. We will be traveling in carpools, leaving at 10:15 AM with a show time of 11:00 AM.
WORK ENVELOPE – Please send back the envelope that went home before vacation by Friday, April 25th.
TALENT SHOW – We would love to have many of Tally’s Treasures share at the yearly Talent Show on April 25th. The form that came home last week is due April 22nd. This is always a fun evening to showcase the talents God has given our students.
END OF YEAR CONVOCATION– As the year draws to a close we would like to gather as a family to celebrate all that God has done for us. Thursday, May 1st is the National Day of Prayer and our School Community Council believes that would be the perfect day to come together as an entire school. All of you (parents, grandparents, family, and friends) are invited to join the teachers, students, administration, and staff as we gather together for this ending convocation held in the Peoples’ Church sanctuary. It is a time of celebration, worship, and prayer as we end our year with thanksgiving and praise.The service begins at 8:00 am and will end by 8:30. All students K-12 are to report directly to the sanctuary by 7:55 AM. Every class will be designated with a sign and balloons, making it easy to locate your child’s class.It is exactly the same as our opening convocation seating arrangement. You are welcome to sit with your student in their designated area or if you have more than one student attending Fresno Christian, choose where you would like to sit.I look forward to seeing all of you at this closing event as we end our year acknowledging God’s hand upon us through prayer, worship, and heartfelt celebration.
OPEN HOUSE – The Fine Arts Festival is coming up in May. Our final book project will be a diorama to display at Open House on May 6th. It will not be due until the morning of Open House. The rubric for this assignment came home in the Homework Folder on March 14th. This is a very fun project. Use your creativity!!!!! We will also do an Oral Presentation on our project .
SHOW AND TELL – This week will be Team A.
LIBRARY INFO – Parents please note: As we come to the end of our school year would you please encourage your students to return all items checked out from the Library. The final due date for all items checked out is Friday, May 2. Reminders of items checked out will be sent to the students beginning the week of May 5. There is a fine of $25.00 for each item that is not returned. Many wonderful titles are lost each year because they are not returned. We greatly appreciate your assistance in getting books back in and onto the shelves so the collection is ready to go again in August. Please contact me if you have any questions. Lin Brown, Librarian 299-1695 ext, 119
YEAR END SWIMMING PARTY – Our final celebration of the year will be Monday, May 19th, from 10:30 AM – 1:30 PM. at the Poplin home. All are welcome to attend. You will meet at Colby’s house at 10:30 AM. You do not need to come to our campus first. If you will need a ride from school, please let me know, as we will not be organizing formal carpools. You will also need to pick up your child after the party is over, or make arrangements for them to get home. We will not be going back to People’s Campus. Again, if you need help with this, just let me know. Directions to the Poplins will be sent home in May. The Poplins have graciously offered to fix hamburgers and hot dogs. In May there will be a sign-up sheet outside our classroom door for the other items needed for our party.
Spirit Day is every Friday. Please wear one of your favorite FCS shirts!
