Be His Hands!
It was a very busy first week of school. We learned and practiced our new routines, which will take a little longer to get used to without reminders.
Binders will come home daily. They will have a folder for each subject, a homework/communication folder and the daily planner. Work that is in the subject folders should not be taken out and kept at home. This is something we are working on in class or may even be needed to complete homework, but should always come back to school. The homework folder will be used for homework worksheets, papers that can be kept at home and any other communications. This is where you should put notes for us also.
Art, Music and Spanish will all begin this week. Since Gym is the 3rd period of the day, the students are required to wear their school uniform to school; they will have an opportunity to change into their gym clothes before class and will change back out of their gym clothes after class. If you have an extra pair of tennis shoes at home, it is fine for the students to leave their gym shoes at school to ensure they are not forgotten on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Gym clothes will come home each time so that they can be washed. Library and Computer class will not be starting for another week or so until the rooms are finally complete.
Open House- Thursday, September 15. 7:00 pm in the Keller Center.
Important Skills
In Religion we will be spending time learning many of the basic prayers. We will be praying them in class throughout various times of the day. Each quarter there will be at least one chosen prayer that the students will focus on and be expected to recite independently.
Please make sure that you are also practicing these prayers at home. Praying them as a family is the best way to learn them and have the importance of the prayer reinforced. This quarter we are focusing on the Our Father, Hail Mary and the Grace Before Meals. Copies of these prayers will be given out at Open House.
Homework
Monday-Thursday Independent Reading Log must be completed each night. (Weekend reading may also be added if you would like.)
Monday-Thursday Phonics packet pp. 7-12. (these may be divided up each night however you choose but all pages are due on Friday.)
Due Friday Create a word problem that another student in the class can solve. Write or type the story problem out. Include an illustration that could go with it. Be creative! Make the story problem based on something that interests youJ
Happy Birthday:
