Dear Parents,
Due to rescheduling of art and gym classes and extra time needed for makeups on ITBS tests, some speeches and ALL composition work hasd to be carried over into this week, sooo....
This week all grades will be writing their composition (based on their speech) for their Religion Fair project in class. After proofreading and revising their work, students will rewrite their composition in script (except for 2nd) and then receive a grade. One copy will be used on their display board for the Religion Fair. Copies of this composition will then be kept in their Religion and ELA folders which are stored in school.
All classes will be having a Religion test this Wednesday. We will then begin the Safe Environment Curriculum which involves learning to protect oneself against strangers and bad influences. Students will use the Discover book and copy notes in their Religion notebook which they wll need to study well for their upcoming test next week.
On Monday, Oct. 31st we will be celebrating Halloween at O.L.Q.M! Students should wear their costume to school (no changing clothes at school). I will be ordering pizza only for class 2-1, my home room. Please bring in one dollar and fifty cents for a slice and treats or bring in $2.50 if you wish two slices. Please send in the money NO LATER than this Thurs., Oct. 27. Each student should bring in their own individual juice or drink on Monday (no glass or large bottles). Each student should also bring one bag of candy to share with the pre-k and kindergarten students during their parade as well as a trick or treat bag or plastic pumpkin to hold their own treats.
The vocabulary for this week is in Relgion and is listed below:
* saints - followers of Jesus who lived lives of holiness on earth and now share life with God forever
