November 12, 2013



 Dear Parents,
            Thank you to all the parents who accompanied us to Wolf Haven.  The Lord blessed us with wonderful weather in the midst of a rainy November, so we had a great time.  Please check our field trip list, below, I still need more parents to chaperone all of them.  We are going to the Lacey Library on November 26th, please consider chaperoning.  There is no cost for the Library (well, there is a cost of course, your tax dollars at work!).  All time counts toward your CCA stewardship hours.
Our school supports two students through World Vision.  Please help your student develop a generous spirit by reminding them to bring an offering for WV.  We collect it at the chapel on Tuesday, but they may bring it anytime. 

Homework:
Spelling:  Lesson 10.  Short “U”   Workbook and test are both on Friday, yes, even in a short week!!
Math:  We will continue to work on 4’s and 5’s and then add 6’s this week. Watch for an update for students that are having trouble with facts memorizing.   
Passport:  The November test  Tuesday, November 26. The map went home last week.
Reading:  Keep them reading.  The November calendar is due at the end of the month + two days, so the November reading calendar is due December 3.   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. The Children’s Libertarian at our local public library is a veritable fount of information about books kids enjoy and can help you if you are stuck.  I have a large library in my classroom, but sometimes students need more choices!   As you know reading is the key to all future school work!
Bible Verse test Monday, November 18.  Revelation 1:8

Scheduled Field Trips: I have made plans for four 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.   Chaperones are still needed.
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.    
February  Olympic Junior Programs- “Four Score and Sever Years Ago”.  The date is not finalized.
