Welcome back to school! I hope everyone had a fun and relaxing summer break. It’s time to get back to a year full of learning and fun together with friends. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to teach the joy of learning and discovering curiosity our world.

Here are our mission objectives.

Math: Review mental math strategies, find arrays in the world (objects arranged in columns and rows), and practice skip counting by 2, 5, and 10)

Science: Notice where we find seeds around us. Bring some in if you find them so we can experiment with them on Thursday.

Language Arts: Make goals for the year and learn to take notes on what we read to find the important words that help us imagine and remember.

Bible: Learn how to honour God with our heart, soul, mind, and strength.

Your assignments, should you choose to accept them:

• Read at least 15 minutes every night.
• Skip count by 2, 5, and 10 every every night.
• Practice phonograms and spelling words written in the planner.
• Think of ways that we can honour God.

Important information.

Homework: Parents, please sign planners when students have completed their tasks.

PE: We have the gym on Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday. Please bring your gym clothes to change into. It is especially important to have gym shoes so we don’t mark the gym floor. Usually students leave these in their locker.

Library: We will have Library on Fridays. Please remember to bring Library books back to school.

Memory Verse: Later this month we will start practicing our memory verses, which we would like students to work on at home.

Planners: Please remember to bring planners home for homework, important dates, and keeping track of permission slips. You can also write notes for me in here. Students will earn class money for having their planner returned and signed showing they completed their homework.

Headphones: We will use educational applications on our iPads. Please bring some headphones so that you will be able to use the audio portion.

Student Information form: I have sent home a student information form. Please fill this out for the office. Thank you!
