Dear
Parents,
I have a
lot of information for you this week, so hang on to your hat!
*First,
we welcome Mr. Kennish today. He will be
with us for 16 weeks and I know this is a win-win situation for our class. If
you missed Mr. Graham’s email letter last week just let me know and I can get
you another copy.
* We
will be going to a wonderful presentation called “Bodyology” on February
12. I need four parents to accompany
us. It is in Bellevue so it will be an
all day trip. The cost for parents is
$7. Please let me know if you would like
to come along. Check it out: www.slimgoodbody.com.
*Will
you pray for us and all of CCA? Mom’s in
Touch is looking for a mom (sorry, dads!) to help organize our school’s
group. Please let the office know if you
are interested in attending or helping with this ministry. We are very dependent on the faithful
prayers of our families.
Homework
for this week is:
Spelling lesson 4: pages 13-16 workbook due Friday, the test is
also Friday. I am changing our procedure
and we will now look at the first two pages of the lesson on Monday so that all
the pages can come home in the Monday folder.
Bible
verse: 2 Timothy
2:15
Reading - 20 minutes a day- If you have
a reluctant reader, please help him or her find a book that is at a comfortable
reading level and that he or she enjoys.
We are starting
our “Book It” program today. See the attached information and go celebrate
with your reader at the end of the month! Also, I sent home a scholastic book
order last week. Students with a lot of books in their rooms
read more- and reading is the key to soooo many thingsJ.
Math
Facts: 3X. We
will continue to focus on the 3’s this week. Please help your child test on the
3X’s as well as the
X 3’s ( ie 3X5 as well as 5X 3. Math facts mastery is imperative. It is
30% of the student’s grade in math. Our first “real” test of the 3’s is Thursday. We use triangle shaped “fact family” flash
cards in class to practice with . These are available at Amazon and local
stores (certainly School Daze and I’m sure I’ve seen them several other
places.)
Passport:
October PassPort maps went home today.
The next test is October 25th. The countries are less familiar than last
month and will require quite a bit of home study time.
Blessings,
Mrs. Wilson
