Newsletter for August 18-22

Each week I will post on my blog what your child will learn for the week, along with other important information.  You need to check the blog each Monday afternoon.  If we are out on a Monday it will be posted on a Tuesday.  Please follow the directions I sent home today so you can access my blog.  My blog address is different than what I gave you on Parent Night.  We had to change it from “SBEC” to “NCS.”  You can sign up to follow by email so it will email you the information and you won’t have to go to the blog address each week.  Homework is not included on the newsletter because your child writes it in his/her assignment pad.  The assignment pad must come to school every day and you must initial it daily.  If the assignment pad says to “Study” anything, I do NOT need any written work sent back.  I sent this home today to make you aware of what’s going.  Next week you’ll need to check the blog.

Bible Verse:  Great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised; And His greatness is unsearchable.            

Psalm 145:3

NT Book:  Matthew.  Your child will write the verse and NT Book (only Matthew this       

week) from memory on Friday.  Please have your child look at the example paper that shows

how to set up the Bible Verse Homework.  It is located at the back of the Take Home Folder. 

Students who repeatedly fail to properly set up the homework will do it over.

Reading:  Retelling.  We will be on this unit for 2 weeks, so the tests will be the week of September 1^st.

Math:  Lessons 4-8:  writing numbers to 100; addition facts—doubles with sums to 18; identifying the attributes of pattern blocks; identifying ordinal position to 6^th; creating and reading a repeating pattern;  identifying and acting out “some, some more” stories; comparing numbers to 50

IXL:  Objective Q1 is due Friday.  See the separate note about IXL in the Take Home Folder.

            

English:  Chapter 2--antonyms/synonyms; capitalization/punctuation rules.  The students are not required to memorize the capitalization and punctuation rules.  They will look at them on the tests and daily work.  These rules are located on the tan and purple sheets in your child’s Take Home Folder.  Begin studying the vocabulary and synonym/antonym words for chapter 2 only, located on the orange sheet in the Take Home Folder—both sides.  Also look at the papers that will be coming home.

               

Spelling:  Lesson 1—Be sure your child sets up his/her homework paper tonight following the

example in the prong part of the Take Home Folder.  Students who repeatedly fail to properly set up the homework will do it over.   The tests are on Thursdays.

School pictures are next Tuesday, August 26^th.

There is a clear page protector in the front of the prong part of your child’s Take Home Folder today.  It contains extra tablet paper in case you want to use it for practice or if your child messes up and needs to start over.  If you run out, just let me know, and I’ll send more.  If your child doesn’t have tablet paper at home for some reason, please have him/her do the written homework on whatever paper you have in the house so that the homework is completed.  If homework is not returned, your child will be docked 5 points in his/her grade in that subject.  I will also put notes from myself in that first clear pocket.

Please remember to initial the behavior calendar in the Take Home folder and the assignment pad each night.  Your child needs to bring his/her Take Home Folder, Assignment Pad, a pop top water bottle, and a snack DAILY.  I do not keep extra snacks, so your child won’t eat snack if he/she doesn’t bring one.  You may send a gallon sized Ziploc bag full of them if that will help you and your child.  Please remember to write your child’s name on his/her snack in case someone else brings the same thing.

Remember to put your carpool number in a visible place.  If someone else is picking up your child you may either give them your number or another card with your child’s number can be made.

We had a great first week!  Thank you for a great start!
