Weekly Update Oct. 2, 2011

We have made it through September!!! The weather is fabulous! Let's hope for a long fall!!


ELA--I will be checking reading logs on Monday for 150 min. of reading as well as Agendas for signatures. The students have had some time to work on their Scrapbook/Timeline/Autobiography project. Please help your student by finding pictures of them to go with each year of their life. They can be digital or we can photocopy/print them in color at the school. I will be giving the students more time this week to complete this project. The due date is Oct. 7 (Friday). Four Reader Responses for October are due on Friday, Oct. 28.

Math--Both grades are completing Ch. 1. Gr. 8 have a test tomorrow and Gr. 7 will have a test before the end of the week.

Social Studies--We have begun Ch. 1 with discussion about why history is important.

Religion--The students performed chapel presentations this week on Children's Bible Stories. They did a great job.

Ms. Kuhl worked with the students on an Internet research assignment about Terry Fox. She has also displayed the watercolor paintings the students completed last week.

Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions or concerns via email or call the school.
