Dear Families,
Hallelujah for the five day week!!!!!!! We are looking forward to a very busy week with lots to accomplish, especially getting ready for our Physical Fitness Testing in March!!! Please send a water bottle/thermos each day as the weather is heating up!!!! They are sweaty and thirsty little peeps after playing outside!!!
LANGUAGE ARTS – Although most are reading on their own, continue to ask your child what is happening at the beginning, middle and the end of the story, as well as the characters, setting, problem and solution in their stories. We are working on writing a Fictional Narrative. These will be the benchmarks for our next assessment in mid-March.
MATH –Our test on Multiplication and Division will be on Tues. Feb. 25th. The chapter review will also be due on that day as well. We will then begin a unit on Numbers and Patterns to 1000.We will continue to revisit multiplication and division as not everyone has mastered this. Division is still challenging for some. Any support you give at home would be greatly appreciated. Using counters helps tremendously.
FIVE – A DAY – Continue to check your child’s Five-A-Day in each week’s envelope. You will be able to see the kinds of mistakes your child is making. We have discussed the correct answers at school, but they make corrections at home. You do not need to return these to school.
SOCIAL SCIENCE – We will do a project this week to reinforce where we live from planet, down to their neighborhood. In our book we are on ,”People Make a Difference”. We have had interesting discussions about what kind of person is a hero and what the Bible says about this concept. We will continue on these units through the month of March.
BIBLE – We will begin the study of David.
SCIENCE – We will continue with our Dental Health Unit.
PHYSICAL FITNESS TESTING – This will take place on March 5th, 7th, 12th, 14th and 19th. It will be in the afternoons. If possible, please try not to schedule appointments for that week. If it is unavoidable, there certainly will be make-ups.
SPEECHES AND HERITAGE DOLL – There will be no skill sheets or Book Project for the month of March. The requirement for the Reading Log will remain the same. They will be working on their speech and heritage doll which will keep them plenty busy!!! Speeches will be scheduled for the last week of March and the first week of April These are done at 1:45 PM, and we will do three a day.The schedule was in the work envelope on February 18th. If the time I have chosen for you does not work, just let me know and we will reschedule. The last Book Project will be a Diorama and will be due the morning of May 6th, which is Open House Day.
HELP – When your child completes work at home, please, please check it before it is returned to school. I am receiving lots of work that has not been checked and is missing a name. Work that comes from home should be correct. Many Thanks!!!
FCS AUCTION– The FCS auction is underway! This is our largest fundraising event each year. We are excited about setting our goals even higher than last year. The auction is a great way to donate to our school. Your donations will bless the lives of others. You received the information about our class basket which is a “Game Night” theme. Please start thinking about your gift or donation.We have received a few games, but need many more. We are asking each child’s family to contact family, friends, neighbors, and merchants to make a donation to our auction. Students will get points for every donation or ticket purchased. So far, our class is in the lead. I am hoping that each family will find that special something to donate to the auction. I would like to encourage you to support this event by giving or getting donations of services, trips, items, desserts, and/or dinner tickets. The dinner/silent and live auction will take place on Saturday, March 15th, from 5:00 to 9:00 P.M. in the FCS Gym.
