Reading Tests

Hi All,

Due to the dress rehearsal of "Meet Me In St. Louis" on Friday morning; I am changing the 3rd grade reading test to THURSDAY. This allows for them to have the time needed to take the test.

4th Grade test will still be on Friday.

Blessings,

Christina

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,

Christina
