Back-to-School Night – I was glad to share with many of you at Back-to-School Night on Monday night. If you were unable to attend in person, the information that was shared is in a handout and is being sent home in this week’s Thursday envelope. Please do not hesitate to ask me any questions or express any concerns throughout the school year.
School Scoop – If you need to look back at information from our K-3 Scoops from earlier, you will find a link to them by clicking the “School Scoop” tab at the top of the page. The K-3 Scoop provides additional information and reminders relevant to all our classrooms. Please be sure to read it. It is sent to you via email. Our class will soon be included in the 3-6 Grade Scoop instead.
Parent/Teacher Conferences – Conferences are scheduled for Thursday afternoon and evening on September 18th and again on Friday the 19th. Please use this link to the Sign-Up Genius to choose your conference time. Please contact me if you have any questions or are unable to find a time that works for you. https://www.signupgenius.com/go/60B0B4DABAE2DA13-50968313-2024
Math – We are just finishing our first chapter on Number Sense. Next, we will be reviewing 2-digit addition and subtraction.
Chapel – This week we were able to get together in our new chapel families for the school year. Each chapel family has students from kindergarten through 8th grade. We sat together as Pastor Mueller led our chapel service. After chapel, we had the opportunity to do a get-acquainted activity before students headed back to their own classrooms.
MAP Testing – We took our first MAP test this morning in math. We will take our reading section this Friday, and our language section next Wednesday. MAP tests help us track the strengths of our students and identify areas where we can focus to help them grow in their learning. These are not tests that they can study for, but you can help them do their best by ensuring they are well-rested and have had a good breakfast.
Spelling – Since next week is a short week and we are busy with MAP testing, we will not have a new spelling list or test next week
Memory – Please note that there is a memory assignment every week. Students are expected to know the memory first thing Wednesday morning. Please work on the new memory assignment a little at a time, starting on Friday through Tuesday evening. You can find the memory under the “Memory” tab for each week.
Next week’s memory:
The Second Commandment
You shall not misuse the name of the Lord your God.
and
Exodus 20:7 You shall not take the name of the Lord you God in vain, for the Lord will not hold him guiltless who takes His name in vain.
