Friday Folders … We didn’t get to our Friday Folders today!  We had so much fun on our field trip to Upland Hills Farm!  We will be bringing them home on Monday!  Thanks for your understanding!

Book-It! Forms … October kicks off this year’s Book-It! Reading Challenge.  Students were given a calendar to fill out each day that they read.  For the month of October, I am challenging each student to read for 20 minutes at least 5 times each week.

Changes Ahead! … I will be changing the way we have Social Studies and Science.  Since we really only have 2 days a week for each subject it’s hard to build on concepts learned. So, we will be alternating between Social Studies & Science.  We will complete 1 chapter of each subject at a time.  So next week, we will be starting Chapter 2 in our Social Studies books.  We will be working in Social Studies only until it comes time for that test.  Then, we will switch to Chapter 10 of Science.  We will keep alternating in that way until the end of the year.

Listening Skills … Your prayers are working!  I put up a new “reminder” at the front of our classroom indicating which noise level we should be at…it is a BIG helper!  Keep the prayers coming!

Book Orders … The flyer will come home on Monday.  However, if you would like to place your order online simply go to www.scholastic.com.  Select book orders. Our classroom code is “HCPJM.”  There you will find all the books available from this month’s book orders. Orders are due Monday, October 14th.

Picture Day is Monday! … We will be taking our school pictures on Monday.  Students are allowed appropriate dress up.  Jeans and sleeveless shirts are not allowed.

Memory Work – Due Thursday, October 10, 2013:

As Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, so must the Son of Man be lifted up, that whoever believes in Him may have eternal life. John 3:14-15

Remember the wondrous works that [the Lord] has done.  1 Chronicles 16:12
