In 2nd grade and older, go to your fastdirect account and check your child's grades weekly. They are NOT FINAL so keep on top of your child to get their work in and grades up before it is too late. PRE-SCHOOL – Mrs. Herard: It was wonderful visiting everyone at the Carnival! Teachers had a great time Friday getting ideas for our classroom. Now we are rested up and ready to go! This week our theme is "All about Me!". We will learn how God made us a unique individual and explore things that make us different and the same. We will be naming body parts, gender and age, and naming right and left. Our letter is "E". Have a blessed week and enjoy the beautiful rain! PRE-KINDERGARTEN – Mrs. Kelly/Mrs. Colvin: PreK is excited to have Mrs. Heitman in our classes for her student teaching. Look for her letter in backpacks today. Thank you PTL for the fun Cardinal Carnival, and to all of the parents that brought cakes! Muffins with Moms is on Friday, we hope to see you all. Our Bible words this week are, Remember me, O Lord. Psalm 106.4 We are learning the letter "Mm" and the number "1". Have a blessed week! KINDERGARTEN – Mrs. Miller: Our class would like to wish Juniper a happy birthday (9-18)! We have now been through all our ABC's once, and now we will do them again slower (one a week) working on our handwriting/letters/sounds. If your child doesn't know all their letters and sounds it would be good to go over them once a night with flash cards, by adding this to your Monday Folder homework. It is important that your child know their letters and sounds for learning to read. We will continue to go over our letters and sounds in class, but our reading curriculum will also start to pick up going over all our sight words. Have a sensational week! FIRST GRADE – Mrs. Birnbaum: Memory verse for Friday is Psalm 56:3 - When I am afraid, I will trust in You. Psalm 56:3.

THIRD GRADE – Mrs. Steichen: Isn't the rain amazing!! Thank you everyone who came out to Cardinal Carnival. It was a blast! Also, thank you to all the parents who worked our booth.

Mrs. Harbeson: It's my favorite time of the year! Thursday marks the first day of fall! Even though we've had a pretty mild summer, I'm so ready for fall colors, hoodies, and cool, crisp air! I hope you all had another relaxing 3-day weekend since next week everyone will be traveling. 8th graders and parents, have a great time in Washington D.C.! I went last year and had such a wonderful experience. My prayer is that this trip will bring all of you closer as you get to have this experience together. 7th graders will be leaving next Thursday for the Zoo Snooze. You'll have a great time, too! The theater trip information sheet came home with the Zoo Snooze information. I've had a few of you return permission slips and money . . . thank you! The 6th graders, Ms. Pacey, and I will be headed for Camp Lutherhoma next Wednesday morning. I'll be sending home an itinerary next Monday over the three days that we will be gone. In class this week, we have started lesson 3 spelling and vocabulary; we're finishing up our first novels, and completing our grammar units. Be sure to keep up with your work! To find out more in language class, please check my webpage (harbolanguage.blogspot.com). Blessings to you all! Mrs. Hanson: We have made it to mid-quarter! Half way through; please check grades now and make sure you are on track for success. I hope everyone has great trips to D.C., Lutherhoma, and the Zoo next week. Zoo Snooze permissions slips and money was due yesterday, 9/19. If you have not yet returned them, please do so immediately. 7th and 8th grade will have vocabulary quizzes this Friday. A huge thank you to Kay Bojorquez for all her efforts in the Cardinal Carnival dinner; it was a success! Mrs. Pacey: Happy Belated Talk Like a Pirate Day (Sept. 19th)! Every class has just finished a test. Corrections are due Friday for all classes. I know we are all looking forward to D.C., Zoo Snooze, or Lutherhoma. I am excited to be joining the 6th graders on their Lutherhoma trip this year. Mr. Covert: I hope everybody enjoyed their three day weekend! We’ve got one more week now in the middle school before our trips! In 8th grade this week, we’re going to be going over the Constitution. As the document that details how our government works and what our rights are as citizens, we’re going to go over it in full as a lead-in to our trip to the nation’s capital. 7th grade is finishing up the western half of the United States this week, and then after our trip we’ll look to the north and visit Canada. 6th grade is finishing up Egypt, and after next week we’ll head over a bit to talk about the Israelites. I pray that God continues to bless our school family as we work our way through this first quarter. Blessings on your week!
