This Friday ends the 1^st Quarter. How the time is quickly passing! I am enjoying the class very much and look forward to the rest of the year.

This week’s Memory schedule is as follows:

Tuesday - #94, 4^th Commandment

Thursday - #72, 96 (The Oct. schedule was listed incorrectly.)

Friday – Hymn 588:1,7

We are working on unit 9 in spelling this week. The pretest is Monday and the final test is on Friday. This week we are finishing writing our ‘how-to’ articles. We have been learning about nouns in English class. We will work on a review this Thursday and the test will be next week Tuesday, Oct. 30. All 5^th graders will take a math test this week Wednesday.

Please look for a note later this week concerning the volunteer choir for the Joint Reformation Service on Sunday, Oct. 28. Thank you to those who are able to join us in raising a song to the Lord!

Please note that all parents and volunteers who wish to drive or attend field trips need to take the “Keeping Our Children Safe” class. This class will be offered Wednesday, Oct. 24 and Wednesday, Oct. 31 at 3:30 PM by registration only. Please let me know if you plan to attend either of these meetings. Registration needs to be in by noon the day of the class or the class will not be offered. Thank you.

Please turn in all Box Tops labels by this Friday, Oct. 26. The class that collects the most Box Tops will earn money to spend for classroom items. Go 5^th grade!

All Box Top book order forms and payment are due Friday, Nov. 2. Please return these orders to Miss Tjernagel.
