Are you ready for our first big fundraiser of the year? Your kids brought home packets yesterday for our Magazine and Memory Books fundraiser, and they're excited about earning this year's collectibles...teddy bears! I'm really happy about the Memory Books that have been added this year. I'm planning to buy one for my niece who's getting married this fall (I'll give her the certificate and she can create a wedding or honeymoon book). Such a great gift idea! I may buy one to use for this year's class too :) Be sure to turn in the small booklet filled in with addresses by Thursday, September 25th...that's when the kids will get their lanyard and first bear.
4th grade parents: Your child should have brought home their September geography assessment. Could you please sign and return it to school? Thank you to those who've already done this!
This week in...
Bible: Our verse this week is 'They devoted themselves to the apostles' teaching, and to the fellowship, to the breaking of bread, and to prayer.' Act 2:42
Literacy: We're starting our Guided Reading groups in both 4th and 5th grade. We'll begin the week talking about sequencing (the order of events in a story) and will end it talking about summaries. We'll figure out along the way that understanding the order of events in a story can help us write a brief summary of the story.
Social Studies: 4th grade is starting their brief study of the French and Indian War. Today they watched a short video about it, and are now talking with each other in small groups about the causes of the war.
5th grade is wrapping up their Geography unit with a study of lake formation. We should be ready ot take our Geography assessment by the end of this week or early next week.
Have a great week!
