Chapel is a bit different this year.  Chapel is still on Wednesday, but Secondary will do chapel from 8:00-8:45 and Elementary from 1:45-2:15.  Then, the last Wednesday of the month, everyone will have chapel together from 8:00-8:45.

 

We are having a short ceremony on Tuesday, September 11, to honor our country and the many families that lost loved ones.  You are welcome to attend if you would like.  We will meet around 8:30, and it will start shortly after outside at the flagpole.

 

Our school Literature Fair is on Tuesday, September 25. It is required for Third Graders to do the Literature Fair.  This will count as a test grade for the kids, which we have talked about in class.  They seem very excited at the prospect of getting to participate!  There is info on the homepage under forms about the Literature fair. 

Grandparent's Day will be on Friday, September 28! More details will come later!

Tests this week:

Wednesday-Spelling List 3 and History Quiz

Thursday-History Test and Science Test

Friday-Language Quiz

We play plenty of review games during the week, but I will be sending info on what to study on Class DoJo.  We have really enjoyed playing games together!

  

Please send in the consent form for Agriculture Day ASAP.

 

Also, Bring in those Box Tops!  Everyday your child brings in Box Tops they earn tickets from me.  Tickets can buy things, give perks and can earn privileges and bonus' for quizzes and tests. 

We are starting our History Binders, this will be a test grade for the students.  I am supplying the papers, all they need to do is to keep it neat and organized.  If you have a small binder at home that they can use for their history binder, fanatatstic.  If you have page protectors you can send with them, that would be helpful as sometimes the three ring binder hole punch is easy to tear.  I think this is a fun way of teaching responsibility and it should be EASY to get a good test grade!  I'm sharing extra info and pictures with them to enrich the curriculum we already have, they have enjoyed getting the "insider scoop" and the "rest of the story."

Have a great weekend!

Bring a signed note that you read the blog by Tuesday, September 11, and your child will receive 2 tickets!
