Dear Families,
This is conferencing week. You will be excited for Mrs. Devereaux to share with you. All the children have made progress in such a short amount of time.
Power School – All the scores from Spelling, Bible Verse, Dictation and Conventions (periods, proper capitals). With the scores separated in Dictation and Copy it is easy to see what your child is struggling and who could use some extra practice at home.Math Tests and Chapter Review are also recorded. If you are unfamiliar with the Power School process just check in with Central Office and they can walk you through the steps and give you your password.
Language Arts – We continue to talk about the setting and characters of the story. Mrs. King is doing a great job on Word Builders each day and I can already see the children applying these phonetic strategies during our reading groups and classroom reading. Going over Word Builders at home a couple times a week will be very helpful. Remember these words only need to be blended and read, not spelled.
Math -We have started the chapter Addition and Subtraction to 10. Be faithful with the Math Drills. It will really pay off.
Social Science – We are working on Rules and Laws Rules, which will also be completed at the end of the month. There will be no Social Science this week because of conferencing.
Science – The children are enjoying the study of apples. We are working on an apple book as well. We are also learning what the different parts of the apple are called. Because of conferencing there will be no Science this week as well.
Bible -. We will be studying Isaac – God’s promise to Abraham and Sarah. We will learn that God ALWAYS keeps his promises.This will continue on next week as well as there won’t be enough time to cover it all.
Show and Tell – This week is Team A. Your child can bring something to share two times during the week.
Conferences – Thank you for confirming your conference appointment time by sending back the notice in the work envelope.. If the scheduled time does not work out for you, please call Mrs. Roberts at (299-1695 ext 103) to reschedule. Conference week is September 15- 19. School is dismissed at 12:00 P.M. each day that week.
Book Order – The first book order came home in the work envelope last Monday. Everything is online and there will be an activation code which is J4ZNG. When you log in that code will be readily visible. I will submit the order on Sept. 15th. That date is also on the page. The beauty of doing everything online is you can order any book Scholastic publishes regardless of grade level. You pay online with a credit card and it is very secure.
Field Trip – On Wednesday, September 24th we will be going to Lost Lake for a Science field trip.We will travel by bus, leaving at 9:00 AM and returning to school by 12:30PM. The trip is divided into four stations and the children are divided into 4 groups.The docent does one of the stations. We will need THREE volunteers to run a station.Please tell Mrs. Devereaux or Mrs. King if you can assist us in this manner. It is very easy as they have all the directions and materials you will need. You will receive your station booklet before the trip.The kids have a wonderful time on this trip. All are welcome to attend and parents will drive in their cars.There is no fee for parents. The children have already paid. They say there is a $5 fee when entering the park but there has NEVER been anybody at the gate to collect. I doubt this year will be any different. But, just a heads up.
Kid’s Club – It’s time to sign-up for the Fall Kids’ Clubs. Kids’ Clubs are fun and free activities led by parent volunteers during the second half of the lunch recess. Sign-up forms will be sent home on Monday and need to be completed and returned by Friday, September 19th. Students should get their forms in on time because the club’s fill up fast!
Boxtops For Education – This year we will again be participating in the Box Tops for Education fundraiser. Each Box Top collected is worth cash for our school. As an incentive, we will be having a class contest. The class bringing in the most Box Tops at the end of this promotion will receive a “prize.” We will post class totals monthly in the Office window and on our Campus News located on our website: fresnochristian.com. Please hand in your trimmed Box Tops in a Ziploc bag or envelope, labeled with your child’s/teacher’s name and the amount of Box Tops, to your teacher or school office. You can find a list of Box Tops online at: www.boxtops4education.com. Thank you for your support.
