News from Miss Kroening

Grades 1-4

  1. Please remember that students should be prepared to say their Memory Treasures as soon as they arrive…especially smart third graders who already know the system.
     
  2. We will be having a social studies test next Thursday, September 17th. Look for a study guide in the near future. Please use the study guide to help your child prepare.
     

News from Mr. Monday

Grades 5-8

  1. Our first AR teams are posted. Please encourage your child to faithfully compete in our outside reading book competition.
     
  2. Remember that I am offering massive bonus points for reading books that are part of our Battle of the Books event in March. Battle of the Books selection will earn the reader double AR points, tests on these books that score at least 90% will receive triple AR points, and 100% scores will receive quadruple AR points! Let's get reading and get ready for the Battle of the Books.
     
  3. Despite starting school on Tuesday this week, our Spelling (book and test), Writing Workshop paper, and Writing Workshop vocab page will all be due on Thursday like usual. Students have until the end of the day to complete these. The Writing Workshop paper will require some outside research, so please be available to help your child.
     
  4. For 6th to 8th grade families: Pastor Schulz started his Wednesday and Friday Catechism class this Wednesday, September 9th. This is different from our Monday and Thursday Word of God class.
     

News for the Whole School

  1. On Friday, October 2nd, Mr. Monday will be taking our entire school on a field trip. We will be participating in a Science exploration program in the morning and visiting our state capitol building in the afternoon. Look for more details in future Wednesday Notes. Please speak to Mr. Monday if you are interested in driving.
     
  2. Thanks to Mrs. Heath, you can now cash in your empty Capri Sun pouches! That's right, each pouch, regardless of brand name, is worth 2¢ to our school. That can certainly add up quickly if your child is a regular juice drinker! All you have to do is remove the straw and flatten them out (do not cut them). When you have a bagful you want to get rid of, pass them along to Mrs. Heath. Thanks, Mrs. Heath!
