Dear Parents,
We had our kick-off for
the Operation Christmas Child
Shoebox drive on Tuesday. I have some of
the cardboard boxes, that the Samaritan’s Purse provides, here in class. The kids can bring one home if you’d like one
to use. A regular shoe box or a plastic
box will be fine as well. Please remember
to include the $7 to help with the
shipping. If you go online to donate you
can follow your box and they will let you know where it ends up! This fund raiser is dear to my heart because
my sister and her husband work for Samaritan’s
Purse in a small town outside of Nairobi, Kenya.
Our school supports two
students through World Vision. Please help your student develop a generous
spirit by helping them remember to bring an offering for WV. We collect it at the chapel on Tuesday, but
they may bring it anytime.
It was sure nice to see
so many of you at the carnival. It was a lot of fun and a terrific alternative
to Halloween for our CCA families.
Please remember that the students are not allowed to wear a costume to
school on the 31st .
Homework:
Spelling: Lesson
8. We are looking at the short “o” sound. Workbook
and test are both on Friday
Math: We will continue
to work on 4’s and add 5’s this week.
Passport: The test is
the 31st. We reviewed the
counties with our class atlases this week, but more practice is necessary. Remember it is 25% of the students’ grade for
social studies.
Reading: Keep
them reading. The calendar is due at the
end of the month + two days, so by Monday, November 4th at the
latest. As an ongoing guideline, please
help them find books that they will enjoy, are at a comfortable reading level,
and that they will read from beginning to end.
If they abandon a book part way through the time still counts toward
their reading goal, but I’d like to see them all find books that they enjoy
reading all the way through. As you know
reading is the key to all future school work!
Bible Verse test Monday.
I Timothy 1:17
Scheduled
Field Trips: I have made plans for
three field trips. Please let me know,
via email, if you’d like to chaperon. IF
there is a cost, the chaperone needs to pay their own way. Some trips are quite popular. Please let me
know right away if you’d like to help out.
November 26: We will be going to the Lacey Library. Since our school library is out of service
this year, the students will need to be familiar with the public library to
find books to help with their Science Fair research papers. No cost
February 12:
We will be going to a terrific presentation about the human body called
Bodyolygy. It will be a very good review
of our health unit about the different body systems. The cost for chaperones is $6- payable to
Linda at the front desk.
February Olympic Junior Programs- “Four Score and Sever
Years Ago”. The date is not
finalized.
