September 29 letter to parents



Dear Parents,   Here are a few details about the week coming up.  We are going to do a small project with small pumpkins- please send in a small pumpkin next week.  Then, please come and pursue our Perfectly Painted Patterned Pumpkins! 
Spelling: Lesson 4   (long E) is included with this letter. Miss Kara has provided a cover page for everyone that lists all of the words in spelling patterns. I have sent home a Spelling Dictionary that needs to be used for this week’s workbook pages.  It needs to be kept at home for future workbook assignments.
Math   Lessons about addition and subtraction of whole numbers.   Our next timed test, 3’s multiplication and division, will be October 6.   I try to keep the tests low-key but they do need to be fairly rapid with their recall.  We get into double-digit multiplication and long division later in this year.  Being able to recall multiplication and division facts quickly is imperative.  This is an ongoing assignment. 
Writing   We are doing a writing project that is a newspaper about themselves.  Please send a picture of your student.  Ask them what the feature article is about (It should be a trip or activity that they did this summer or earlier).  If you have a picture of that activity it would be great, if not, just a picture of your student.  Please send it in next week.  Thank you
Science We are beginning a unit on simple machines.  Don’t be surprised if simple things in your house become “simple machines.”
Music   Mrs. Fennel is thinking about starting an instrumental group called Ukes and Strings as part of CCA’s Christmas performance.  If your student knows how to play a stringed instrument or would like to learn how to play a ukulele, watch for more information from her.

Bible Lesson this week:  The Bible is inspired by God!
