Third and Fourth Grade News
From the Week
of January 31, 2014
Dear Parents,
Happy
National Lutheran Schools Week! I have
to say, that it is such an honor to work in a Lutheran School, and even more of
an honor to work in this Lutheran
school with these amazing children, awesome staff of friends, and supportive
parents like you. You are awesome.
On Monday, we dressed as our favorite book
characters! We also read with our Chapel
families in the gym. This day was so
much fun! We had Thing 1 and Thing 2,
Bad Kitty, a couple of Pippi Longstockings, Where’s Waldo, an Alien, Fern from
“Charlotte’s Web,”, Tom Sawyer, Ramona, Beezus, Picky-Picky, and a ninja… J We also read our classroom stories, “The
Extra-Good Sunday,” (with Ramona and
Beezus), and “The Life and Times of the Ant.”
Great stories! We had a visitor
from Lutheran High on Monday too.
Matthew Eaton, a junior who is interested in going into education, came
and observed all day. The kids loved
him, and he seems to be a natural! We
had a lot of fun!
On Tuesday, we celebrated Spirit Day! There were so many kiddos running around in
red, white, and blue (and crazy hair!)!
I took some neat pictures and will post them this weekend! We also played “Body-Part Tag” in PE, and
practiced our song for NLSW in music. We
continued on our partner stories during Writers’ Workshop. Third grade also began multiplication! I loved hearing things like, “Wow! This is easy!”…and ,“We LOVE this!” I hope they brought this excitement
home!
Wednesday was “Dress Like Your Chapel Family”
day! In here, we had some crazy hair,
cowboys and cowgirls, superheroes, stripes, famous people (President Reagan
scared me silly with her mask!!!!), nerds, and neon colors… In Social Studies
we learned a lot about the Native Americans that lived in Missouri. We will be finishing this chapter next week
and will test over it on Friday. A study
guide will be coming home.
Thursday
was crazy day, and we had a lot of strange hair-dos, dress, and colors. We all looked smashing… J
We even got to have Mrs. Vogt for a fun penguin lesson and art project, when
teachers switched classrooms for an hour!
I spend my time in Kindergarten and had a blast!
Today was Grandparents Day!!!!! Thank you for sharing your parents with us! J . I am
feeling a bit emotional right now…feeling the family-type atmosphere here in
this building and amongst all of these wonderful people. Thank you for allowing me to teach your child
every day. I spend my days in the best
way ever! The Talent Show was awesome
too! The kiddos were great!
Please remember that the children sing here at the
north site at 9:30 on Sunday. Please
dress in Rams gear and meet here at 9:00.
Thanks!
Fourth grade book reports are due on Monday! We will also be celebrating the 101st
Day of School on Monday! The 100th Day of
School is actually TODAY, so we are going to celebrate on Monday instead….Your
child does not need to bring anything to school, but just know that this will
be a day of 101 Day Centers, and lots of fun!
If you are so inclined to send in a treat, please feel free to do
so! J
Parent
Teacher conferences are coming up. I
will be sending out a sign-up this weekend.
I look forward to meeting with you February 13 & 14. Your
child will lead the conference. We will
have 1:00 dismissal both days.
Achievement tests are coming
up! These will be February 24th-28th. The testing will be in the mornings from
8:30-12:00 every day.
Our class will have a Valentine's
Day Party on Friday, February 14th. We will have it in the morning. I will have some fun valentine centers, and
math centers for the students. Each
child should bring a Valentine for each member of the class. Thank
you! Also, if you have an empty tissue
box at home, please send one to school.
I have been collecting them at school too, so we should be okay, even if
you do not have one!
