I hope everyone is enjoying their weekend! I can’t believe that September is almost over, and October is here. Some things coming up in October are the fire station and pumpkin patch field trips, Grandparents Day, Fun Fest, and Fall conferences (No school 23rd &24^th)! Wow there is a lot=) I will post these on our calendar in your child’s OWL folder. Continue to check your child’s folder every day. We will be sending more information out about each of these events.

**Thursday Pastor Carey will be making lunch for the students so they will not need to bring lunch.

Literacy:

Next week we will be starting our first unit. We have our routines down, which means I can have the chance to work more one on one with the children. We will be practicing our sight words, and reading short stories everyday together. On Monday I will be sending home your child’s first sight word list. We have already begun to work on some of these words, so I hope they can tell you some already. Please practice every night. This list will be tested on October 30^th.

Math:

We have begun our first chapter in Math. You probably have seen the ripped up math pages coming home=) I am hoping they will get better with more practice! So be patient with the crazy looking math pages while we get a hang of it. Also you may notice some of their numbers are backwards. To ease anyone’s mind, it is normal and we will work on it all year and into next year to write them the right way. For math homework, I will begin sending this home on our next chapter which will begin in a week or two. The math homework is optional, but if they do finish it they get a prize.

Bible:

Next week we will be talking about Noah and the ark. Our focus is on obeying what God tells us to do.

Social Studies:

Next week we are kicking off our Pumpkin unit! We will be observing pumpkins, cutting them open, watching them mold and grow, learning about the life cycle, making pumpkin milkshakes, and ending our unit with our pumpkin patch field trip on the 31^st! I would love to do a melted crayon pumpkin craft. If parents can donate small pumpkins, we have a ton of broken crayons=)

Thanks!

Here are our finished people for our community helpers unit.  Each student picked a community helper they would like to be. 

These are our finger paint flowers.  These will be going in students portfolios so you will get to see these during conferences. 

Students made a picture of their favorite place to go with their family, along with their family on clothes pins. In Bible we talked about Cain and Abel, and how important it is to love our family's:)
