Hello, Parents! It
has been another fun week! It is so hard
to believe that today is the end of first quarter! Where has all of the time gone?!
*Please look at
the bottom of this email for sign-ups for upcoming field trips, parent/teacher
conferences, and other sign-ups. Thank
you so much!
We have a lot of
things coming up next week: Tuesday—helping with the E.C.C. Harvest Hoe Down,
Thursday—Parent /Teacher Conferences, Friday—Fall Field Trip and P/T
conferences, Saturday-The Auction! Whew!
*Also, we have something new for you to add to the calendar!
We are going to be celebrating our Veterans here at school on Friday, November 10th,
beginning at 8:30. We will have donuts
and coffee, and our choirs will be singing.
More details will come home soon, but what we need from you right now is
this: If you know a veteran, please send
in his or her name and a picture if you have one! You can send the picture with your child to
school, and we can scan it, or you can email them in. Thank you for all of your help with this, as
we honor our veterans!
Here is what we have been up to:
Religion- We hosted Chapel this week…and did such a
great job! Thanks for coming to see
us! We also have been talking about the
people of Israel and their journey to the Promised Land. Next week, we will learn all about Martin
Luther and the Reformation.
*Our service project this month and next is Operation
Christmas Child! Please bring in your shoe boxes and other items. There is a collection box by the office. Let’s fill it up! We are all looking forward to our packing
party on November 13th!
*Timothy did such a great job raising money for our sister
school, Lutheran South Academy, in Houston, TX. The total we raised was $6,000.01!!!! Praise the Lord!
Next week’s memory: (Only Tuesday)
October 24-What does this mean? We should fear and love God so we do not
curse, swear, use satanic arts, lie, or deceive by His name, but call upon it
in every trouble, pray, praise, and give thanks.
Language Arts- We began reading “Stuart Little” this
week. He is such a cute little mouse,
with so many adventures! We will
continue working in Literature Circle groups next week as we tackle new
jobs.
Spelling Words for the Week of October 27th
from "Stuart Little" by E. B. White
wrapper, disgust, vigorous, wedged, morning, entrance,
breeze, surround, uniform, enormous
Challenge Word: *exasperated
Math- We have learned how to multiply 2-digit numbers
by one-digit numbers, and also how to round and then multiply zeroes. Next week, we will work with regrouping
during multiplication.
Science- We began Chapter 1 in our Science books this
week, and are learning all about cells!
We have learned the differences and similarities of the plant and animal
cells, and how cells make up tissue and organs.
So interesting! Next week, we
will diagram cells in groups.
SPECIAL CLASSES
Art- we finished up our “zentangle” pumpkins. J
Writing/Computer-We began publishing our fractured
fairytale stories and we worked on the Typing Web, to improved our keyboarding
skills.
P.E.- We completed the half-mile run this week, and
also played dodgeball! We will learn
different forms of it in the next few weeks.
Music- We have been working on recorders and songs
for the Christmas program!

Our project for the auction is complete! We have been studying the verse Psalm 139:14. Each child chose a part of his or her body that is special to them...because God has made it! They then wrote about that part of themselves, and we created this beautiful collage and book. We are excited to show it off to you!!!
