ITBS testing is over with and I would like to thank all of the parents that supplied the daily snacks. They were thoroughly enjoyed by the children. It is hard to imagine that we are going into October already. Thank you to all that have returned the Progress Reports. I am still missing a few. Please make sure that you sign and return them.
We are moving along in Language Arts. We will be learning about contractions and adding the endings of (ed) and (ing) to a root word this week. We have started the last reader in Level 1. We continue to read from the supplemental reader, Bells. We will spend one more week on short a and will then learn about short i. A vocabulary test will be given in 2 weeks. Please continue to review them on a nightly basis. In math we will start timed tests whose sum will be up to 12. I have shortened the time to 2 minutes. Your children have gotten faster on the tests. In Science we are still working on the ecosystem. On Tuesday I want everyone to bring in a leaf. Your child needs to know what kind of leaf they have. I will be sending home an atlas for Social Studies. We are working on the reading of maps. I will be sending home a note to let you know what I would like you and your child to do with the atlas. I would like the atlas returned by Thursday. In Religion we are talking about Baptism and becoming members of the Church.

A reminder: there is a Safe Environment meeting on September 28, at 6:00 p.m. in the school library. If you want to drive or help in the classroom you must have attended one of the meetings.
Have a great week. If you have read this blog have your child write in the planner what day we celebrate Johnny Appleseed Day.
GOD LOVES YOU!
