Memory
work: Teach me to do your will, for you
are my God.
Psalm 143:10
(Since we do
not have school on Friday, Memory work is due on THURSDAY.)

Dear Parents,
Welcome
to another four day week! Remember that
we do not have school this Friday as our teachers have a professional
development day.
Tomorrow,
Tuesday, is our first Social Studies test for the year. Your child brought home his/her social
studies notebook last Thursday. In that
you will find a review page, a study guide and all of the activities we worked
on to learn about maps and our world. Thanks for taking the time this evening
to review this with your second grader.
Friday,
September 21st, is our field trip to the apple orchard. We will leave around 9:45 and return before
2:30. Everyone should bring a lunch (lunchboxes are OK) and a drink or two.
Does anyone want to order a school lunch?
If so, please let me know by next Wednesday morning (email message is
fine)! If you (or a grandparent, aunt, uncle, etc.) are planning to join us,
please let me know if you haven’t already done so. The admission cost for
adults is $6.00 (Please bring $6.00 cash with you.) There will be room on the
bus or you may choose to drive to the orchard. The children will be bringing
home a small bag of apples. Any parents
who go with us are welcome to purchase bags at the orchard to fill with apples.
The children may wear their Friday spirit t-shirts or their normal uniforms for
the field trip.
Speaking of apples, on Wednesday afternoon, September 26th,
we will do some cooking with apples. If
anyone would like to send in a bag of apples, that would be awesome. Also, if anyone is available to help in the
classroom on that Wednesday from 12:45-1:45, I could use an extra set of hands
for the apple centers. Just let me know.
This
week in math we will be focusing on adding 2 to numbers. The students brought home a bag of fact cards
last Thursday. Please encourage a review
of those facts as these are a little more challenging than the previous week’s
facts. Today
your child is bringing home a film container with his/her name on it. At your
earliest convenience, would you please fill it with 10 dimes and 20
pennies? We will be using these in math
class all year long. The money will be
returned to you at the end of the year.
In a few weeks, another container will be coming home for quarters and
nickels. Thanks so much for your help.
In
religion we will focus on the stories of Joseph and Moses leading God’s people.
We are starting our first science unit this week. The unit focuses on “Pebbles, Sand and
Silt.” We are ready to get our hands
dirty with lots of fun experiments. Oh the things we will learn!
Have a
great week!
Yours in Christ,
Janet Leet
