Dear Families,
As we move into this very special season of the year, I trust you and your family will make many memories as we thank God for His many blessings. Our focus at school will be one of gratitude and thankfulness. His mercies are new every morning!!!
Language Arts – We continue to work on inferential comprehension at school and trust you are doing the same at home as you read with your child. We are also reviewing the problem and the solution in the story. Continue to work faithfully on vocabulary and remembering to read out of the Anthology book and the books that come home on Friday. It truly makes ALL the difference.
Writing – We will be working on writing about an expository place.
Math -We are working on Chapter 6 with adding and subtracting to 12. Please continue being faithful in doing a 4 minute Math Drill each night.
Social Science – We will be studying “We Love Our Country”. Also, we will be covering the immigrants who have come to America.
Bible – We will be covering the Ten Commandments.
Eagles Shop-A-Lot- Holiday Boutique November 8, 2014 8AM -1PM FCS Gym We are excited to announce our first Holiday Boutique with Square Heart Shops. The gym will be packed with vendors selling handmade goods and many great items to make your Christmas shopping easy. Supporting our boutique, by shopping or being a vendor, will help raise funds for Fresno Christian and Square Heart Shops. Square Heart Shops is a non-profit organization that asks people to de-clutter their craft closets and donate items to be repurposed and sold to help people who want to adopt, go on mission trips or just need to learn a skill to earn an income. You can visit their website and learn more about their cause at www.squareheartshops.com. If you are interested in being a vendor or volunteering at the boutique, please contact Square Heart Shops directly at shopalot@squareheartshops.com. Vendor applications will be reviewed and accepted based on order received and items being sold.
Thanksgiving Celebration– Our Thanksgiving Blessing afternoon is Monday, November 24th. After lunch and recess we will be making a “Blessing Mix”, doing a craft and having dessert. The festivities will begin at 12:30 PM. There will be a sign-up on the door on Nov 3rd for the needed items for our Blessing Mix. It should be a wonderful time! Many Thanks!
Thanksgiving Unit- We have many activities planned for this unit of study. We will be learning about immigrants in Social Science and the contributions they have made to America. Among the immigrants we will study are the Pilgrims who sailed from England. We will culminate our studies with a Thanksgiving Program with the Kindergartners. First Graders are the Pilgrims and the Kindergartners are the Indians. Second Graders will be Americans. The program will be on Tuesday, November 25th at 10:45 AM at SMC Main. A.M If you know your child will not be here for the program, please let me know, as that will be helpful in our preparation in assigning parts.. Thanks!
Absences – As we move into the Holiday Season, please e-mail any dates your child may be gone Some may be taking vacations and I want to be sure your child has everything that is needed to keep up while he/she is gone.
Show and Tell – This week is Team A. Your child can bring something to share two times during the week.
Operation Christmas Child – Shoeboxes are due November 10th. Please consider taking the opportunity to show your child the true spirit of giving at Christmas. Pack a shoe box with your child to send to needy children throughout the world. The children have lists of the suggested items, many of which can be purchased at a dollar store or at reasonable prices. Please be sure to put in only brand new items and include small toys ( no weapons), school supplies, stuffed animals and hygiene items. Most important is to pray over the box and for the child who will receive it. For more suggestions or to download a new form to go with the box, go to samaritanspurse.org. Also, include $7 in an envelope for shipping and handling.
Spirit Day is every Friday. Please wear your favorite FCS shirt.
HAVE A FABULOUS WEEK
