Weekly Update

Happy fall to everyone! I love the cooler weather and color changes that fall brings. I am very interested to see the changes that occur in a California fall! It’s very exciting for me to have so many things be new and to see them for the first time. With all the changes that occur in this life what a blessing it is for us to know that our God never changes!

This week we are taking the Terra Nova tests. Please make sure that your child is at school promptly in order to stay on the testing schedule. It would be best to try to schedule any dr., dentist, or other appointments after 3:00 for this week. Thanks for your understanding and cooperation!

Due to the testing this week the class schedule and homework assignments will be lighter. Students are allowed to work on the assigned test and check their work on that test during the allotted time. There will be no piano lessons for 5^th grade this week due to the testing! Lessons will resume the following week.

Memory Work and Hymn recitations are due Tues., Thurs., and Friday. Tuesday passages - #30, 46, 63

Thursday passages - #28, 47, 51

Friday Hymn – 457:1-2

A new memory work and hymn calendar was sent home for October. Please be sure to post the calendar and refer to it daily. Please let me know if you would like an extra calendar for you and your child!

The students will take the unit 5 spelling test on Friday, a chapter math test on Friday, and they took their first English test on Monday.

A note was sent home on Monday for the class “Keeping our Children Safe”. Please refer to the note and choose the date and time that works best for you.

Progress reports will be sent home this week Friday! A sign-up form concerning Parent/Teacher Conferences will be sent with this report. Please be sure to check your child’s graded paper folder each Friday for their daily work. All students need to have a parent sign the graded paper folder each week!

Please return your earthquake form and kit to school with your child this week! We know that the Lord is always with us. It is still very important to be prepared and have these items at school should an emergency situation arise. Earthquake forms were sent home on Monday for students who have not returned their kits to school!

Please be sure to have all school hardcover books covered by Friday,

Sept. 28! Notes will be sent home to those who have not covered their books.

Have a great last week of September!
