Week 26: Tidbits of Information

     Just trying to find a little humor on this fifth snow day and winter that seems to never end!  On the positive side, the days are getting longer and Spring really is just a few weeks away, well at least the calendar says it is!  This will be another short and off schedule week, maybe this is the norm now.  

Early Out Tuesday and Thursday for parent teacher conferences and no school Friday.

Memory will be on Thursday.  Please make sure your child is studying.

Spelling will begin again after the wax museum!

Wax Museum is only 11 days away.  Students will be working on backdrops at school this week and part of next week.  This weekend, students will need to write his or her short speech.  This will be a couple paragraphs they will say each time someone walks up to visit them at the wax museum.  It does not need to be memorized.  It can be written on a notecard.

Week 25: Tidbits of Information

Thank you for all the wonderful valentines and goodies last week.  I also want to thank the following ladies for all the donations for our party; Courtney Bailey,  Maria Beals, Kelli Staub, Natalie McNair, Heather Kulus, Melissa Olson, Sommer Hahn, Sheila Taylor, and Kim Jipp!

I pray you have all enjoyed these extra few days off.  I will be at the hospital with my mom all day Monday.  Two of the screws in her leg (from the car accident last year) have come loose and she will be having surgery again to fix this issue.  This has been a long journey for her and we pray it is almost over despite this setback.  Please say a prayer for her!

Memory will be on Friday. These are more challenging pieces.  Please take a little extra time to help your child study memory.  I have always found the long drive to and from school a great time to practice memory and spelling words.

This week students will be typing a final copy of his or her famous American research paper.  If you have not already please read and edit your child's paper before Tuesday.

Wax Museum is just around the corner.  Parents and grandparents are welcome to come!  It is Friday, March 8th from 9 - 11am in the lunch room.  Your child will come to school in their costume that day but will need to bring school uniforms to change into afterwards.

Week 24 Tidbits of Information

It looks to be a snowy and cold week this week, but our hearts and classroom will be warm and full of love, work, and fun!

No spelling this week.

Memory will be on Thursday this week.  Remember that the packet with the year's memory assignments can also be found on the blog.

Don't forget to send your child with a plain colored medium size gift bag by Wednesday.  We will decorate these bags and then use them to hold valentines.

Valentine's Day party will be at 1:45 on Thursday.  If you would like please send one valentine for each child in our class.

This week students will work on writing a research paper on the famous American they have chosen for the wax museum.  The Wax Museum is Friday, March 8th 9 - 11am in the fellowship hall.  This weekend will be a good time to gather items and clothing for your child's costume for the Wax Museum. 

Fun Plex Pages for Play:  You will find a reading log sheet in your child's Monday envelope this week.  This is a neat reading program sponsored by Fun Plex.   It is not required just something I thought could be a fun incentive for all the reading your kiddos do.  Just keep track on the reading log and send back to school by April 18th.

Week 23: Tidbits of Information

The past couple of weeks in religion class we have been learning about prayer.   I ended last Thursday's lesson with the above statement and then simplified it by saying to pause before speaking, pause before reacting, and pause before making a choice, and when you pause pray!  It is a great reminder to all of us.  Pause and Pray!

Spelling - We are taking a break for a little while from spelling.  This will allow the kiddos to spend more focused time on the harder memory pieces and the Wax Museum.  I plan to begin spelling again when the Wax Museum is over.

Wax Museum - More detailed information will be handed out in class on Monday.  Students will begin researching his or her famous American this week.  Just another reminder, the Wax Museum will be on Friday, March 8th from 9 - 11am.
