Parents: I would like to ask you a favor. Although we are not having a Music class this year, I am asking that the funds you were planning to send in for Recorders/Xylopipes be sent in for the Art program instead. If every student brings in $20, we can have an exceptional Art program and possibly plan for some in-house field trips and events to add to the overall enrichment of the art education program. I also plan to have an art show/gallery showing off all of my students' best works and I need your help to make that happen. I will send home envelopes marked Art Program. Please return the envelopes with $20 no later than next Friday, August 23, 2013, as I need to order supplies. Thank you in advance for your help!
In Language Arts, we are using the Pathways Literature Series from Kendall-Hunt Publishers. Each month/unit there will be a different theme and corresponding book that we as a class will be reading together and exploring. This month's theme is Heroes and the name of the story that we will be using is called Shepherd Warrior by Bradley Booth. We will be reading about the shepherd boy, David, before he became king over Israel. We will be introducing new them words this week as well as our first list of Spelling words. Spelling tests will be every Friday and new lists will be given every Friday with the exception of this Monday. Students will be expected to familiarize themselves with the words using the word study techniques they will learn this week and through homework. If students do the Spelling homework each night, there is no reason to ever fail the Spelling test. Please study the words with your children and encourage them to do the assignments which will be posted on the blog each day.
Look out for tomorrow's post and have a great week!
