Dear Families,
I trust everyone had a restful weekend enjoying this cooler weather. We enjoyed our time at the fall festival! Its such a great time when the whole school can get together and fellowship! Thank you PTF for putting everything together! I know Ayla enjoyed all the fun activities out there!!
I want to give a big thank you to Mrs. Siebert, Mr. Witt, Mr. Reeves, Mr. Gamber, and my dad for giving our kiddos new individual desks!! They absolutely love them! The possibilities are endless with what I can do with our classroom arrangement!!
THIS WEEK IN MRS. R’S SUPER STARS:
Bible: This week we will be looking at The 10 Commandments
Memory Verse:
“Be with wise men and become wise. Be with evil men and become evil.” Proverbs 13:20 (17 pts)
Math: This week we will be finishing up chapter 3. We will take our chapter 3 test next week! Please look for a chapter review coming home.
Language Arts: This week our class will be learning about words ending with ng. and nk. Vowels before ng and nk are affected by the nasal sounds of the consonants they precede. It may be difficult for students to discern which vowels are used to spell each of the words in our list. Visual memory will be very important in this lesson. We are continuing on in our reading groups and the kids are doing great. We are focusing more on fluency and comprehension of the stories we read. Something that you can do at home would be to time your child multiple times while reading a book and see if they can beat their time. This will help with their fluency. Also ask them questions about the book to help with comprehension.Our spelling words for this week are below:
hang
king
ring
long
sung
sink
wink
bunk
on
but
could
made
with
Science: Since it is harvest season, and we are going to the pumpkin patch, we have been learning about the life cycle of a pumpkin. The kids will be assessed this week on the life cycle of a pumpkin.
Social Science: Our changing world
P.E: Our class participates in P.E. every Wednesday afternoon with Mrs. Whipple.
Pumpkin Patch: Our class will be going to the pumpkin patch this Thursday from 10:30am to about 2:00pm. Younger siblings are welcome to join. If you have signed up to go with our class it would be a good idea to bring a blanket for lunch time. There is limited seating. 1st and 2nd will be going together, so parents will have to take their own cars.
Homecoming Week: This week is homecoming week. In elementary we are celebrating with dress-up days all week.
*Monday: Super Hero Day. Students may dress up as their favorite super hero. Biblical super hero’s are recommended. Students CAN NOT wear capes, NO weapons. Their outfit MUST be gender specific (i.e: boys are dressed up at boy as boy/men super hero’s. Girls are dressed up as girl/women hero’s.)
