2ND /3RD GRADE NEWS
RIVERGATE ADVENTIST ELEMENTARY
January 20, 2012
Dear Parents,
Next week, we will be focusing on the LIFESKILL of No
Put-Downs. This is a very important LIFESKILL for ensuring that we treat each other in a loving and kind manner. We will be learning the importance of never using words, actions, and or body language that degrade, humiliate, or dishonor others.
Please encourage your student to practice this LIFESKILL at home as well, so together we can nurture the value of others.
Homework for next week will include a new Memory Verse, and spelling list, practicing the 4 & 6 X tables in 2nd Grade, and the 6 & 7 X tables in 3rd Grade, and a reading fluency page to practice. The new memory verse is Isaiah 44:3, first part. “I will pour out water for the thirsty land. I will make streams flow on dry land.” Please help your child to prepare for their reading fluency. Students need to be able to read each word without hesitation in order to be fluent. Students will be individually reading their prepared passage to me on Wednesday, January 25, for a grade in reading fluency. Please remember that students must hand in all re-do work by Monday, January 23 to receive credit. Work received after Monday will not be re-graded. The Second Quarter closes on Friday, January 27.
Our next Winter Adventure will be Roller-skating at Oaks Park on Tuesday, January 24, 2012. Drivers must please be at school by 11:00 A.M. so we can organize the groups and leave school by about 11:15 A.M. We will return to school by 2:30 P.M. Students are allowed to wear jeans or casual, Friday-style clothes for the fieldtrip. Students should wear long socks so the skates won’t cause blisters. Students also need to bring a sack lunch to eat at Oaks Park. NO hot lunch will be available for sale! Thank you to all the parents who signed up to drive for this activity. I am counting on you, so please contact me at the latest, Monday morning, if your plans have changed.
Thank you for all your support and help. I appreciate all you do for your student. Have a great weekend!
Sincerely,
Ms. Smith
