It was a great first full week of school! The students have been very engaged in our learning. We are excited about starting our planet projects this week. Each child will write about one of the planets in our Solar System. We will work on these in class, but if your child would like to bring  information they found at home on the Internet or from other sources, feel free to allow them to do so. I will supply them with ample information at school, so it would just provide additional facts for them.

Just for clarification, we have  PE on Mondays and Wednesdays, so please have your child wear the appropriate shoes for any running we may do. We will have Show n Tell every Friday, but I encourage educational shares. We've already had some really fun learning happening at our show and tells!

Thank you for spending time with your child on the spelling and memory verses. Most of them did very well on the assessments on Friday.

Please be mindful of the dress code at our school. A full explanation of the dress code is found on P. 9 in the Parent/Student Handbook. Before your child leaves for school, please check that their shorts (6' inseam for 3rd and up) or skirt (for girls) are not too short, their shirts have sleeves and are not too short to show the midriff if their hand is raised, and that they have close toed shoes on. Leggings/bike shorts are only permitted for K-4th grade if the shirt is long enough to cover the bottom. Thanks for your help!
