Week at a Glance
We have our first math test coming up this week. We have reviewed quite a bit in class and before we take the test we will be grading our own reviews as one final check. In Science, we are talking about how scientists ask questions and find the answers. In Social Studies we are learning about people who make a difference in their communities. In Reading, we are working on Informational Texts. In Religion, we are talking about God’s promise to Abraham. Thank you all for attending Back to School Night! If you have any further questions about classroom procedures please feel free to email me!
Spelling List Week 3 – Consonant Blends
Memory Hebrews 12:3
Consider him who endured from sinners such hostility against himself, so that you may not grow weary or fainthearted.
Field Trip!
Please be on the lookout for the permission slip coming home in today’s Thursday Folder. It is for our first field trip of the year – we’re headed to the Coterie to see “Horse Power” on Friday, September 27th. These permission slips MUST be signed and returned no later than Thursday, September 5th so we can account for all drivers.
Reading Logs:
I think we cleared up reading log confusion, but I will keep this here as a reminder for you! My first quarter expectation is that they are reading 75 minutes per week. This turns out to be 15 minutes, 5 nights a week. Please encourage your child to spend time reading or even take the time to sit and read with them! These reading logs will be a grade each week, so please keep track of them and send them back to school the following Monday. This upcoming week they need to be returned on Tuesday, September 3rd.
Other Notes
- Make sure to practice spelling and memory throughout the week. We spend a lot of time reviewing in class, but every minute at home counts too!
- We are a nut-free classroom, so please avoid sending snacks with any kinds of nuts. Thank you!
- We will be doing our MAPS testing in the next two weeks, so make sure your child gets plenty of sleep and a nutritious breakfast to set them up for success!
