Dear Families
Fall has arrived!!! What a beautiful season of the year…..my favorite!!!!! Now, if only the temperature is starting to cooperate. We are looking forward to October in Room 524. The first quarter is coming to a close and the children are adjusting well . So much progress has already been made.
A big thank you for all those who went and helped on our field trip. It was great.
Power School – All the scores from Spelling, Bible Verse, Dictation and Conventions (periods, proper capitals). With the scores separated in Dictation and Copy it is easy to see what your child is struggling with and what kind of extra practice is needed at home. Math Tests and Chapter Review are also recorded. If you are unfamiliar with the Power School process just check in with Central Office and they can walk you through the steps and give you your password.
Language Arts – We continue to talk about the setting and characters of the story. Mrs. King is doing a great job on Word Builders each day and I can already see the children applying these phonetic strategies during our reading groups and classroom reading. Going over Word Builders at home a couple times a week will be very helpful. Remember these words only need to be blended and read, not spelled. Mrs.Devereaux is going a great job with Reading groups and progress is being made. Be faithful in reading each night the books that come home in the bags and the reading assignment and vocab each week.Most of our reading now is sight as we continue to build our phonetic skills.Be sure to turn in your book bags every Friday. Mrs. Devereaux is only getting about half of them
Math -We are finishing the chapter on Addition and Subtraction to 10. Our test is Thurs. Oct. 2nd. The chapter review is due on the day of the test and is worth 10 pts. in Power School.Be faithful with the Math Drills. It will really pay off.
Social Science – We are working on Rules and Laws Rules, which will also be completed at the end of the month. God’s word has a lot to say about obeying laws.
Science – The children are enjoying the study of apples. We are working on an apple book as well. We are also learning what the different parts of the apple are called. On September 26th we will will have an apple tasting activity. A sign-up is on the door for the items needed. This is always a very fun activity.
Bible -. We will be studying Joseph, Jacob and Esau
Show and Tell – This week is Team A. Your child can bring something to share two times during the week.
Grandparent’s Day – Friday, October 3rd is Grandparent’s Day. This is always a very fun time for the children. If you do not have grandarents that can attend, please feel free to invite a senior friend. We will also share grandparents for those who have none when we do our special activities. No one will be left out. More details and the schedule will be forthcoming.
Boxtops For Education – This year we will again be participating in the Box Tops for Education fundraiser. Each Box Top collected is worth cash for our school. As an incentive, we will be having a class contest. The class bringing in the most Box Tops at the end of this promotion will receive a “prize.” We will post class totals monthly in the Office window and on our Campus News located on our website: fresnochristian.com. Please hand in your trimmed Box Tops in a Ziploc bag or envelope, labeled with your child’s/teacher’s name and the amount of Box Tops, to your teacher or school office. You can find a list of Box Tops online at: www.boxtops4education.com. Thank you for your support.
