We had a great week and enjoyed our retreat day and BTT party on Friday. I’m ready for another week! We are pumped for the study trip on Thursday to NBC Action News to see Brett Anthony at work!
The Week Ahead:
Religion:
We will finish up chapter 2 on Tuesday. Please have your child take the online test on Tuesday or Wednesday evening and send me the results. I will email you back to ensure that I received the results.
We will start chapter three, The Mystery of the Holy Trinity, on Thursday.
Math:
We will continue with chapter two this week. We will be focusing on addition and subtraction number stories and estimation. We will tentatively complete lessons 2.4-2.7.
We finished our first novel, Bridge to Terabithia. It was a hit!!! Check out these videos of the kids talking about their favorite parts of the novel:
The kids loved the book and loved comparing it to the movie. There may have been a few tears yesterday during the movie! If you haven’t read it, I highly suggest it! These kids are readers and I love it!

The kids took the 6 point AR test on Friday. Their results will be put into their Reading Logs. I am also going to have the kids post their STAR results (online reading assessment) results into their Reading Logs. I am going to ask them to take them home on Monday so you can look at their STAR results. Please read all of the information and sign the STAR test. Have the kids return the Reading Logs to school on Tuesday.
September book reports are due on Friday, September 30th. The kids should have a paragraph for every section on the rubric: character, conflict, resolution, and setting. I would prefer it be typed. Then they can draw the illustration on plain white computer paper.
Our next novel is…… Where the Red Fern Grows!!! It is my favorite! Feel free to read along with us at home so you can have book conversations with your child.
Social Studies:
WE DID IT!!!!! The kiddos have learned their 50 states and capitals!
Next week we will start using our text book for social studies. We will start up with chapter two. We will be learning about early America and the Native Americans.
Science:
On Thursday, we are going on our first study trip to the NBC Action News Weather Station! You are more than welcome to come with us!
Mrs. Latteman and I thought Thursday would be a great day to have a pizza party. If you send in $1.50 we can order pizza for the kids to eat after the study trip. Please send in your money by Wednesday.

Next week we are starting our weather unit and will examine weather instruments. Please send in an empty can (soup, green bean, etc) in with your child so we can make homemade barometers!
Vocabulary:
Unit three will be checked on Monday. They will have the week to study for their test on Friday.
FYI:
- Pizza Money by Wednesday
- If you haven’t already, please send in your Grandparent’s Day Permission Form by Friday. I printed off the form and sent it home with the families that haven’t sent one in yet. It should be in your child’s binder.
- McTeacher Night is Tuesday from 4-8
Table Talk Questions of the Week:
- What did you find interesting about the NBC Action News Weather Station?
- What are the three phases of the water cycle? Have them explain what happens in each phase.
- What stories are in the Old Testament of the Bible? What stories are in the New Testament? What are the first five books of the Bible?

Have a great week!
