Fall: Ahhh, the crispness of the air is almost here to stay. I love Fall and everything it brings – colors, tastes, sights, weather, etc. It is truly a beautiful time of year. As we look forward to this changing of season, may we be reminded to never fall away from Jesus. He longs for our relationship.
- Fall Harvest Festival: Please join St. Paul at Creekside Valley Farm on Friday, September 25th for our annual Harvest Festival from 6 to 7:30. Please note that each student will have entrance to the corn maze ONE time and must be accompanied by an adult. Enjoy!
- Map Testing: We will take our Math Map test on Thursday right at the beginning of the day. Please get a good night’s sleep before with a good breakfast to start off everybody with a thinking brain. While this is only a snapshot of your child’s abilities, it does help me in planning to meet their needs.
- Reading: Our Reading curriculum continues this week as students discover much through reading Living in Deserts which is an Informational nonfiction text. We will also take a closer look at analyzing text features, using text evidence, and graphic features.
- Writing: We are talking about the 6 Traits of Writing which are Ideas, Organization, Sentence Fluency, Word Choice, Voice, Conventions. Knowing these traits will help us be better writers. Additionally we will talk about a grammar piece which includes compound sentences.
- Math: This is taught by Miss Szydel. Students will begin working with Unit 2 – Use Place Value to Add and Subtract Fluently to 1,000. This past week in math, we celebrated Dot Day. We also talked about different properties and patterns used when adding. This upcoming week, we are going to learn about using addition to subtract and how to fluently add and subtract within 1,000.
- Spelling: Each week students will be introduced to ten specific words that have a shared pattern. This week the pattern is vowel patterns specifically – ee, ea, ai, ay, ow, and oa. While learning the words is important, it is essential for students to understand the rule. Students will have the chance to work with the words throughout the week. Our final test will be on Friday.
- Religion: This week we will continue to work through Genesis with our discussions surrounding Abraham. This week we will focus on him and his nephew Lot as well as God promising him a son.
- Memory Work: Memory work/spelling sheets will be sent home on Monday. Tuesday’s verse corresponds with Luther’s Small Catechism and is the 2nd This continues our journey through all of the commandments. Students must know the commandment and what does this mean. Thursday’s verse pertains to our Bible story in Psalm 50:15.
- Powerful Panther Pillars: This year we will be working through the fruits of the spirit through a variety of means. Our first pillar is LOVE!
- Weekly Verse: He who supplies seed to the sower and bread for food will supply and multiply your seed for sowing and increase the harvest of your righteousness. – 2 Corinthians 9:10
