September 16, 2011

Dear Families,Italic

Your students have an opportunity to memorize the Preamble to the U.S Constitution. They may even receive a small treat if they can recite it from memory. They have a copy of the Preamble in their Red Alerts.

We had a good week learning a little about American History and the Constitution.

The children took their first timed math-facts test today. We will graph the results in class and you will be able to see their progress in a few weeks.

The children made some cards for Deacon Dale. He came to see the third-graders and you could tell that he really loved the cards they made for him and the prayers offered for him.

The third-graders and Mrs. Harju also skyped an author and the children asked the author good questions. They did a such a nice job.

I hope that you have a wonderful weekend,

Mrs. Balck
