End of 1st Quarter

Happy end of 1st Quarter!! It is hard to believe that we are a fourth of the way through this school year! We have definitely been learning a lot so far! This week in Reading we focused on Response to Literature.  We practiced writing a summary of stories and also focused on the characters. Mrs. Bezner then came in for a special read aloud on Thursday afternoon.  In Math, we finished Unit 2 on addition and subtraction with our Unit Test. Our theme for this week was Weather, so in writing we wrote about our favorite type of weather and described why we liked it.  For Bible, we looked at the story of Jesus' birth and the visit of the shepherds.  We learned about the Good News that the angels had to share which was that the Savior of the world had been born.

Some important announcements for this next week:

1. On OCTOBER 27th we will be having our annual K-3rd grade field trip to go sweet potato digging.  A permission slip was sent home with every student on Friday. Please sign and return it to me by this Wednesday. If you have any questions please feel free to email me.

2. This Friday OCTOBER 24th is Parent/Teacher Conferences. This will be a no school day for students. A paper was sent home with each student on Friday with the time scheduled for their conference.  Please return the signed portion of the paper to me by this Wednesday.  If there are any questions or if you would like to reschedule your conference please email me with a few days and times that would work for you.

3. Our Spelling words for this week are: easy, even, keep, team, zero, peace, breeze, these, teeth, leave, please, cheese, yours, upon

4. Our Bible Memory Verse for this week: "Where is the child who has been born to be king of the Jews? When we were in the east, we saw his star. Now we have come to worship him." Matthew 2:2
