- September 13 (Wednesday)- Walk-a-thon in the afternoon at the High School track. All fundraising envelopes should be back to school on Monday, September 11. Thank you for supporting our school. Come and cheer us on!
- September 14 (Thursday)- Picture day. A form for this came home today.
- Next week we will be starting MAP testing throughout the HC district. I plan on giving the language assessment on Tuesday morning and the reading assessment on Thursday morning.
- Any donations of Clorox wipes or kleenex are always greatly appreciated.
Homework Folder:
- Bible Memory- We are working on Psalm 8 in class and talking about what these verses mean. Please have your child say it to you once each evening even if they need to read it from the page. If they can say Psalm 8 fairly confidently, sign and form and send it back to school. This is due on September 29. I do not worry so much about the number of helps but rather that the words mean something to your child.
- Math homework- This came home for the first time today and will be due back to school next week Friday.
- Word work- Your child will come home with his/her first spelling list on Monday. I sent a letter home in your child's Friday folder explaining this program in more detail. On Monday your child will need to cut out their spelling words and show you how they sorted them in class.
- Reading Minutes- These will begin Monday as well. Your child will carry a book back and forth from school to home each day. This should be a "good fit" book that your child can read independently. (I have not leveled all of my students yet so if your child is reading a book that is too difficult, please let me know.) Most of these books are from my classroom library so I ask that the kids carry them in a bag that I provide. Your child needs to read 125 minutes a week. I will explain the reading form to the kids in class. Place this form wherever it is easiest for your child to remember to fill it out (nightstand, refrigerator, homework folder, etc.) Please sign and have your child return the form the following Monday.

Science: This week was a lot of experimenting with different earth materials and how they react with water.
Literacy: We are working at diving deeper into our books as we read and jotting notes in our response journal to increase our comprehension. In writing we have "tried on" several different personal narrative stories and today we settled on one that we want to work into a true story.
Bible: We have wrapped up our Ephesians study and made a book to highlight what we have learned. This was such a cool unit to start 3rd grade. Learning how our Bible is organized is next on our list!
Have a wonderful weekend!
