September 26-30

We made it through testing week!!! The children were troopers through all of the testing and we should have results by conference time in October. Thank you for sending in the snacks too!

Thank you for sending in the vegetables for the children to look at during our Science Investigation on Friday.

In Religion we will continue to talk about Jesus and how he loves each and every one of us.

In Math we will be finishing up addition. We will be adding three numbers. This may be confusing for some but i am hoping by showing them a trick by circling and adding the first two numbers it will come easily for them. We will be having the Chapter test on Friday. Continue to work with your child on addition facts.

In Social Studies we will continue talking about our Country, State and City. Be sure to discuss this vocabulary with your child. We will also continue discussing the compass rose and direction. We will be having a test on Thursday. I will be sending home the atlas to practice on Monday or Tuesday.

In Science we will finish up discussing plants this week which is our 3rd part of the ecosystem. Next week we will begin Herbivores.

Continue to work with your child on the Spelling words with short a. There have been two additional words added which are bonus words. The bonus words are included in the total score but will not be given until Thursday.

IMPORTANT: If you are planning on attending any field trips or planning on volunteering in the classroom you must be fingerprinted and have attended the Safe Environment Training. In October we will be going to the Bear Creek Pumpkin Patch. Please be sure in the office that you are cleared to participate in the field trip. There will be no special circumstances allowed. If you need the Safe Environment Training there will be one in the Library at 6 pm on Tuesday.

Check your students home folder for their vocabulary words for the week.

Thank you and God Bless
