Dear Parents,
Week at a Glance
This week we memorized Colossians 1:16a which tells of God creating the world. In religion we are learning about Saul and David. In language we are learning the special sounds “ou” and “ow” and are choosing words to complete sentences. In handwriting we are writing letters “d” and “a”. During math we are learning place value with tens and ones. In reading we are learning about topics and main ideas. During science we are investigating plant traits. For social studies this week we are learning about needs and wants as well as what elections and voting are.

Hope is putting together gift boxes for Operation Christmas Child. There are empty gift boxes for Operation Christmas Child outside of the school office. You are invited to take a box to fill and return to the school. These boxes are due back to school by November 13th.
Veteran’s Day
Hope will celebrate our veterans on November 11th. This program is for veterans only. Parents will be able to see students perform at Christmas programs soon.
Cold Weather
The weather is beginning to get chilly as we near the beginning of November. Please make sure you send your child to school with a jacket every day. Morning recess is often colder than the maximum temperature for the day. Additionally your student may bring a uniform sweater or Hope sweatshirt to wear in the classroom if they are cold throughout the day. When the temperature is below 50 degrees students must have an extra layer to help them stay warm.
