I sent home several papers that the children completed while I was out. Although I checked them, I did not enter those as a grade (except the tests). Please go over them with your child and let me know if there is something that you believe they may need a little extra help with.

Again, please stress to your children the importance of READING and FOLLOWING directions. Quite often, answers are marked wrong only because a child didn't follow the directions that are on the paper, even though we go over those before they start.

We have been trying to write stories during writing class for the past couple of weeks, however, most of these kiddos don't seem to enjoy putting those stories on paper. They LOVE to come in and tell me all about their evening or weekend, but if I ask them to write it in a journal, it's like pulling teeth. Please encourage your child to use their imaginations to write incredible stories. I know they can do it!

I’m sure you all know that our class song for the lip sync competition will be Superhero by Hillsong Kids. The kids seem to LOVE the song, as I’m asked to practice it about ten times a day. 😂 If your child has a superhero costume, please send it to the school with him/her no later than Wednesday so we can make sure we have everything we need. If you don’t have one, please contact me and we will get it figured out.

Theme Song: “Power” by Chris Tomlin

The theme for Homecoming is 

“There is Power in the Name of Jesus”

We are using the theme verse as our memory verse for Bible class so we will be able to say it loud and proud when the time comes!

“I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help.  My help cometh from the Lord, which made heaven and earth.” Psalm 121:1-2

 Our class will be able to earn points throughout the week by participating in various activities: 

 

• Classes will need to memorize the Bible verse and be ready to recite it anytime the spirit stick appears in their classroom!

• We will prepare a song for the lip sync competition at the pep rally.

• Dress for spirit days…these points add up

• Help collect money for “Spot the Dot.”   It is a fundraiser where we sell “dots” to decorate the outside of our door.  The more dots, the more points! 

An overall point winner from the secondary and an overall point winner from the elementary will be gifted a lunch off campus to the restaurant of their choice.

The overall DOT winner will earn a pizza party for their class and a movie afternoon!

 

I will post information about the theme days at the end of the week.
