This Week
Our Grandparents' day was a success! What a beautiful and fun morning!
Walkathon is this Thursday. Please have your child bring in a waterbottle for that day. :)
I will be sending home the book we are reading this week as homework. Please have your child place that book back in their book bag as soon as you are ready to return it.
Please remember to turn in Blues bookworm reading log and VIP for September! Thank you!

We will take a quiz on action verbs next week and begin to learn about being verbs. Students will be graded on a writing assignment using complete sentences, Capital letters appropriately, neatness, and end marks. We will also write about what we have learned in September.
Science: We will start our chapter on Energy in our Science books, learning about sources of energy and what energy can do.
Religion: We will have a church tour and lesson on vestments next week from Father Nord and Father Schneier.Students will also be tested on Unit 1 of Religion.
Math: Students will learn different strategies on how to subtract and see the correlation between addition and subtraction in Chapter 4. The Xtramath login information was sent in couriers for you to set up in the beginning of the year. This is an excellent way for students to practice math facts and will be part of homework beginning the 2nd Qtr. There are other ways to practice math fact fluency, this is not the only way. However, please let me know if I can change some settings for your child on Xtramath.
