New Student

On Friday, our classroom community welcomed a new student and friend. Ella W. is new to our classroom and to the Rose Park family. The joy and excitement was overflowing from the students. They welcomed her with helping hands and a serving heart.

- Math Homework: Please have your child complete and return this paper by Friday, Sept. 14. Remember to circle and send back any problems that are too confusing to problem solve.

- Words Their Way: A new Word List will come home in their homework folder. Each night find different ways to practice spelling and sorting the words into the different groups. This practice with build your child's understanding of the spelling patterns and how to spell accurately. I will pick 10 of the words, plus the 5 words on the bottom, and test the children on Friday, Sept. 14.

Word Lists - On Monday, I will email you with the spelling words for the week. This will allow each household to have a paper list and an electronic list!

Please make sure your child has the appropriate shoes to participate in the gym activities. Next week, Ms. Raak will be doing the fitness testing, so the mile run, sit-ups, push-ups, etc.

BIBLE MEMORY
*Please continue to practice Psalm 8 at home. We are working hard on this in the classroom and I am amazed to see the student's creativity with motions and effort to learn these words from God's Word.
