Farewell From Miss Grace

Dear 3rd and 4th Grade Parents,    Goodbyes are often hard and some of you have talked to me already to do just that. The last few days have been super busy; however it's been on my heart to reach out and say goodbye.     4th grade a parents...from the bottom of my heart I want to say thank you! Thank you for your support, kindness, cooperation, and prayers last year. Your children grew so much and I couldn't be more proud of them and their growth academically, spirituality, and personal maturity/growth. Your role in supporting me helped make that all possible.    3rd grade parents; we have had little contact over this summer. However, your willingness generosity, and support you showed is a blessing.    Please keep the person God has planned to be the next teacher in your prayers. God knows who it is and will lead them to Calvary.    If any of you would like to keep in touch please do so. I have an address I can share if your children would like to write...just let me know. Some of the children I taught in Nebraska were actually hand writing me letters this year....and I do respond. :)    God's Peace and Blessings,  Miss Christina Grace

Game Plan For Next Week

Dear Parents,

Thank you for your understanding this week. I deeply appreciate it. After looking at and grading the papers that I grabbed on Wednesday; it is clear some things need to be redone. Language was the biggest concern; some topics were fine and some need some serious help. Below is the plan for next week. I will take the time to redo as a group and/or smaller groups topics that need to be reviewed from this week.

Memory: Same verse that was due today...The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the works of His hands. Psalm 19:1

Math: We will do what the plan was for this week starting with Investigation 11 (or is it 12)

Spelling and Language:
 

     1. No Spelling Words since not going to new lessons

      2. Review and reteach as needed from this past week

      3. Extra time will be spent on penmanship and improving our writing skills.

Reading: 4th Grade...continue with next set of scheduled chapters for "Treasure Island" we will discuss this past weeks chapters on Monday. There will be a test on Friday for the next set of chapters and vocabulary words.

3rd Grade...We will revisit and discuss the story "Oral History" from this current week. We will take a test on it on Friday.

Science: Things looked good here, we may spend a day discussing what they learned (I will let them teach me) and then move on from there.

Please partner with me and remind your students that they need to be putting in their best effort and attitudes in the classroom. I was shocked to see how many papers were turned in half done, and not following directions. This seems to be becoming a more common issue the past couple weeks. I have not tolerated them trying to rush and turn things in not finished and will continue to push them to do their best and to work hard until the end of the year. If it keeps up and continues to happen, I will not be so nice in letting them make things up for full points, etc.

Additionally, the plan is for me to be back on Monday. I ask that you please remind your child not only the previously mentioned, but that they also need to be helping me out some by doing what they are supposed to do, following classroom rules right away, and to focus on themselves as well. I will be talking with them some about it on Monday as well.

I am sorry I am missing tonight, but I wish them all good luck and I know they will do fantastic in their skit!!

Blessings,

Christina

Update

Hi All,

I will be out the rest of the week. I have surgery scheduled for June 13 tentatively; but will get a call if something opens up sooner. In the mean time I am supposed to watch what I eat and take it easy so things can settle in my stomach.

I did go up to the classroom today to get papers to grade and food for Mal and Elliott. Please note that there will NOT be a reading test on Friday for 3rd grade and 4th graders ONLY have a vocab test (no story questions). However, please make sure both grades are still reading their story and chapter for the week. I will look through work done and decide what to do and where to go from there.

I will not be sending a newsletter home for next week nor Friday folders. I will try to get spelling words out this weekend...if not they will get them on Monday.

At this time, I am asking that you please be patient and flexible with the situation. I have appreciated all the kind texts and emails from you all as well. They made me smile.

If you have any questions or concerns you know how to reach me. Though, as said before, not sure how fast I will be responding or checking emails...but I will get back to you.

Blessings,

Christina

Pen Pal Letter Folders

Hi All,

Tomorrow (I hope) the pen pal folders with their letters from the year will be going home. Deshler Lutheran's last day of school is May 13th.

With that said, if your child would still like to keep in touch with their pen pal they can still send letters. At the request of Mrs. Werner (their teacher); please mail the letters to the school and they will make sure they get to the pen pals. Additionally, I told her that they can mail letters here over the summer. If your child receives a pen pal letter, we will make sure we call you or forward it to you.

For summer letters please use the following address

PEN PALS NAME

DESHLER LUTHERAN SCHOOL

PO BOX 340

Deshler, NE 68340

This has been a lot of fun and hope a few of them stay in touch!

Blessings,

Nightly Multiplication Math Homework

Hi All,

There has been a serious lack of effort in our class about studying the multiplication facts for homework. I have told them that they should be practicing nightly. They can do this in multiple ways (orally, writing them out, flash cards, apps, etc.).  Effective immediately, both grades are going to be required to practice their multiplication facts for at least 15 minutes each night. This will be counted as a grade and a paper will go home each night for them to turn in the next day.

If you have any questions or concerns please let me know.

Newsletter and 2 reminders

Hi All,

Attached is the newsletter for next week. Please note that there will only be one spelling test and memory and the reading test will be on Thursday.

Yesterday, a letter went home and an email went out; about student behavior at school. Please make sure you take the time to read the letter. This will be strictly enforced school wide.

Additionally, a letter also went home about parking lot safety. Please take a moment to review our parking lot policies. I really want to enforce walking in the parking lot. I have seen too many students dart into the parking lot to their cars and chase after each other and not even look for cars. Please partner with me and help me remind them to walk and look both ways before they cross into the parking lot (the blue line).

Newsletter and New Homework Policy

 Hi All,

Attached is the newsletter for next week.

At the start of the 2nd quarter, I made a new incentive for the class to get their homework in on time. Most of you may know what it is. Each day they all turn in their homework in the morning and if all of them have their work turned in, in the trays they will get a letter in the word "homework" and once they spell out the word homework they will get a movie and popcorn on a Friday. Since this has happened the class has only spelt out the word once and since back to school in January they have only be able to get 2 letters.

I am sorry, but this is unacceptable. Homework needs to be done each night and turned in the next morning first thing. Not after I have collected it and graded it. I am getting tired of asking them for their homework and hearing them say it is in their desk. They have plenty of time in class to work. I want to see them care about their work again. Therefore, until further notice (unless their is an emergency at your house one night and please know you can contact me) if homework is not turned in the next day they will lose points and be finishing it at recess. If the homework is left at home (and is finished) they will be walking the line at recess.

Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns.

Blessings,

Christina

January Reading Logs

Hi All,

I did not receive many reading logs back for January. Please make sure those come back to school. Your child will have a 0 in the grade book if they did not turn it in. Remember, they get a point for each day read; so some points are better than none.

Blessings,

Christina

Student Headphones and a PPP Hour Opportunity

Hi All,

As your child may have shared with you, we have started to incorporate the use of Kindles into our classroom learning. Right now, the apps are just math, but I am going to look to incorporate them into other subjects. I would like to ask each of you to please send in a pair of headphones (labeled) for your child that we can keep in the classroom. This will help reduce the sound from them. Please send these in with your child as soon as possible. :)

I could also use some help with our class reading stuffed animals. I try to wash them twice a year.  If someone is willing to take them to the laundromat and wash them and bring them back, I would greatly appreciate it.

Blessings,

Christina
