Friday, 10/12 Newsletter Updates

Field Trip Next Week
Next week on Thursday, October 18, we will be taking a field trip to a cranberry marsh and to Dairy State Cheese in Rudolph. This is the first activity that is part of our Wisconsin History study in social studies. Most of the study will be in the spring. More information will come on Monday including costs, details and permission slips.

Choir on Sunday
This Sunday at the 10:30 service at Immanuel the 3rd and 4th grade choir will be singing. Student should be upstairs at 10:10 for a quick rehearsal. The choir will sing at the beginning of the service. They then may sit with their parents for worship. St. Lukes families are certainly excused to attend the special service you are having this weekend.

Math Assignments
We have been working hard on our math assignments so far, and I hope this continues. But be careful, students! Remember the way we have done examples in class. Remember how to organize papers. Remember your labels, problems with more than one question, and to read the whole question carefully. This is normally the time of year when students start thinking, "I got this math stuff down! Time to take it easy." That's when the silly mistakes happen. Don't let it happen to you!

Note Coming Home With the Boys
There is an additional note coming home with the boys today. All the information you need to know is in the note. Parents, please read it and send back the signature form.

And Finally...
I didn't get this done until after the kids went home so there is not printed version today. Memory slips and the printed newsletter will come home on Monday. Feel free to do the next three verses for the memory slip over the weekend. You'll get the slip on Monday.

The Upcoming Week
Memory - At Home: Q1W6 Slips At School: 1. Books of the New Testament 2. The First Commandment and its meaning.

Social Studies - Finish chapter 2. Test mid-week. This chapter has been fragmented due to weird scheduling this week (Women in History presentation, picture day, etc.), so it will be done differently. Maybe open book, groups, or something to that effect.
