 Hi- I don't know what happened to the layout- but all the info is here.

Dear Families, 

Thank you for your prayers for my dad.  He is much better since he has three new stents. The surgery was Tuesday, so my mom said that “he has a new and improved, well improved anyway, heart for Valentine’s Day!”  Thank you again.  I have not been able to get any papers corrected this week, so the stack of returned papers will be light. 

Homework:

Spelling: The new workbook for lesson 19 went home today.  It focuses on plurals, always hard to remember.               

Math: 0-10 division.  Keep reviewing, it makes allllll math easier. 

Passport:   The test is February 23rd

Reading/LA:   Read Read Read. 

Key boarding 2-3 times a week.  The next goal is to finish the last 20 lessons, 9 tests.  The lessons start being easier once we are past the original set.  Please keep an eye-out that they are using the proper fingers in the proper places.

Bible:  2 Corinthians 5:21.  I am pleased with the students who took the initiative and memorized the Bible verse this week.  However, because I was gone, I didn’t do the BV test today.  We will have the test next Friday.

Auction News:  We have a few things for our basket, thank you to those families!  Please remember to send some things if you are able.

Dear Families,   

Welcome back!  I hope you had some wonderful family time during the break.  The kids have been telling me about the travels and adventuresJ.   Now, “Nose to the Grindstone” and off we go:

Homework:

Spelling: The new workbook for lesson 14 went home today. Test Friday               

Math:  Next week, we will practicing multiplication 0-10’s.   The mixed test on multiplication 0-10 will be Friday, the 13^th.  The nice thing about being this far with math facts is any deck of cards can be used to practiceJ.

Passport:  The maps went home the week before Christmas, and other copy today.  The test is January 26^th. 

Reading/LA:   Read Read Read! A new calendar went home today. 

Key boarding 2-3 times a week.  I am afraid that I need to clarify something.  The expectation is that the students will be done with lesson 10 by the end of the semester, January 24.  However, I didn’t explain that the expectation is the 10 lessons AND THE TESTS THAT GO WITH THEM need to be done. So, I need to have scores or verification for the 4 tests from you if they finish tests at home.

Dear Families,      

I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving. I went to visit family in Arkansas. It was good to see everyone- it has been three years!  One of the things CCA does in December is Adopt-a Family through City Gates.  I have included some more information about the family and their needs on the back of this letter. If you are able to send in a gift,   please don’t wrap it.  We will have a wrapping party the day they are due, December 15.  I’d like to have some cookies to share during that time. Please email if you can provide some cookies.  Thanks J

Keyboarding:  One of the goals in 4^th grade is to have preliminary mastery of keyboarding.  Please add 10-15 minutes of keyboarding practice to the evening routine a couple times of week. They like to hunt and peck, so  keep an eye on them and make sure they are keeping fingers in the “home row” position.   I’d like them to have mastered the first 10 lessons by the end of the semester, January 24.  When they pass a test with 20 words per minute (after several lessons) the program asks them if they’d like to print a certificate. Please do that and send it in with your child or you could email me and tell me each TEST that they passed.  The program that we use is  freetypinggame.net.   It is free if you can put up with ads.
