Dear Parents,
I’m looking forward to meeting with you during parent-teacher conferences this week. Remember that school is dismissed each day at 12:00 noon.
KIDS’ CLUBS:
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!
SEPTEMBER READING:
Students will independently read a book from a different genre each month. Class time will be given every day for silent reading and students are expected to read a minimum of 10 pages a day. If they are unable to complete this in class, then reading becomes homework. The genre for the month of September is mystery. Students should show their selected mystery book to me for approval. Students will write a “Response to Literature” for this book, due at the end of September. This week students will practice writing a complete “Response to Literature” in class and receive a grading rubric.
WRITING:
This week students will focus on language skills.
MATH:
This week students will begin Chapter 2: Addition, Subtraction and Equations.
SOCIAL STUDIES:
Next week we will time travel to the past to learn about Native American Indians.
BIBLE:
This week we continue our study of the Pentateuch.
SCRIPTURE MEMORY VERSE:
Students will memorize scripture weekly and take a written test each Friday. The memory verse for this week is John 1:12 and the test will be this Friday, September 19. Students will be graded on writing the verse accurately, including correct wording, spelling, punctuation, grammar and scripture reference.
Yet to all who did receive Him, to those who believe in His name, He gave the right to become children of God.
John 1:12
