Monday letter Sept 27, 2010

General
First of all, I had a wonderful time at my nephew's wedding. It was a beautiful wedding and everything from outward appearances looked like it went as planned. My family members all arrived safely and we had a great visit even though it was short. In getting back to the classroom today it also was a blessing to hear that the class handled themselves well for Mrs. Lojewski who substituted for me. I also heard many of you made it to the 11:00 service and that the kids sang well. It sounded like the helicopter for the picture was a real hit also.
We had a fire safety assembly today and the 5th grade are to plan an escape plan for your home. I made it an assignment which is due Friday. A boy and girl will be selected to represent our school on Oct. 16 at the Fireman's Open House and they will get to ride on a fire truck. More information on the open house will come later. Today a special note went home about yearbooks next year. They need to be ordered when the pictures are taken next week.

Work
Friday's memory is Rom. 5:8 on page 15 and 2 Thess. 3:3 on page 17. There will be a spelling test on Friday. They will get their list tomorrow. They need to complete reading Room One for Mrs. Brown today, they will have a quiz on it tomorrow. She will use it for a writing assignment. At this time it looks like there will be a Science test for Chapter 1 on Friday. Next week there will be an English test and a Social Studies test. I don't know what days so check the assignment update blog or your child's assignment book. Thurs Sept. 30 is the last school day of the month and Monthly Memory needs to be complete and the book report is due. They need to be done or turned in by the time I leave school on Thurs.

Sports
There is a change in this weeks soccer schedule. It is as follows:
Monday: 3:15 to 4:30, Tues. 3:15 to 4:30 Wed. 4:15 to 5:30 Thurs. 4:00 to 5:00 also pass out uniforms, check equipment and walk through game procedures.
Volleyball for this week is practice today and Wed. and away games on Tues and Thurs.

Other
Mr. Petzold is have Coffee with the Principal next week Monday Oct. 4th. This is a great opportunity to meet him and hear about the things happening here at Trinity. Here is the information that was in the Trinity Leader:
Coffee with the Principal Meeting!!!
I want to invite any and all parents to a special meeting with me on Monday, October 4th at 8:10am, 2:00pm, or 5:00pm in the lobby. I want to meet with all interested parents for a time of sharing about the school's mission and future direction as well as allowing people to volunteer for leading (or helping) with upcoming events. You will also have a time to ask questions, provide input, and share about the school. It should be fun, informative, and a great way to stay involved in your child's education. Attendance is optional, of course, so don't feel guilty if you can't make it. I plan to have more meetings like this throughout the school year.
I need a few parents who'd be willing to bring some "goodies" to the first meeting. Just let me know if you can provide them. I hope you'll take the time to come!! Thanks!
Mr. Petzold

That is all I have for this week.

General
I will not be in class this Friday. Mrs. Lojewski will be my substitute. I will going to Missouri to attend my nephew's wedding on Sat. This is the weekend of the 125th celebration. I sent home a note today about asking any school children who will be attending church at 11:00 am on Sunday to come and sing the "Big Fish" song. Please return the bottom portion of the note if your child wants to participate. This Wed. we are participating in the "See You at the Pole" program by having chapel outside in the back instead of the flag pole. You are welcome to come.
We will be going into church after it to practice the "Big Fish" song.

Work
First of all I want to apologize for not getting your child's papers graded this past week. It was a very busy week with preparations for the 9th grade retreat, grading just didn't get done. I plan to work diligently this week to get caught up so they can be returned and to get them on fast direct. Thank you for your patience and understanding. This Friday's memory is 2 Tim. 3:15 on page 13. There will be a spelling test on Friday and they should get their list on tomorrow. There will be our first math test in my class tomorrow. After that there will be a test after every 5 lessons. The test will be on the concepts in lessons 1-5. There are no other tests this week we are working our way through the Introduction in Social Studies, the first chapter in Science and the chapter on sentences in English.

Sports
Soccer has to change their Tues practice to Wed at the same time. There also is a practice on Thurs. Volleyball has a home game Tues and an away game on Thurs. There also is practice on Wed.

Other
There is a dress down day on Friday. Sports is the theme, wear something for your favorite sport team. It is a pay dress down day. $1 for a sporty top and $1 for jeans on the bottom. You can do both items for $2 or just one item for $1 or no items for free - that means wear regular dress code. I think that is all for today.

Monday note 9-13-10

General
Well we are in the 3rd week of school and things should be taking shape as to routine and work. Just a couple of thoughts. First of all the homework folder. Remember the first 2 pockets "Notes home, notes return" and "Graded homework" are the 2 pockets you should empty they have information for you. The other pockets check for what an assignment looks like or if it is completed, but don't take out anything unless your child is present. As the classroom schedule is becoming a reality, you may need to help or remind your child about work planning. It looks like Mon., and Thurs are going to be some heavy assignment days. But, not all of the assignments are due the next day. They need to work according to what is due the next day and then look at the work that is due the following day. They do not have to do everything that was assigned on the night it was assigned. It needs to be done before the day it is due. Thank you for your attendance at Curriculum night. We get to enjoy ice cream with Mr. Petzold on Friday afternoon.

Work
Your child should be working on the 2nd commanment this week, if they are going to do one Monthly Memory a week. Some have completed several memories. If your child hasn't done any they need to get going. There are no test yet this week, it appears a math test will show up next week and possibly something in Social Studies. Friday's memory is Ps. 145:3 on page 11 in the religion book. Remember I plan these memories based on the length in the religion book, the Bible may be a little longer.

Sports
Volleyball games start this week. There are 2 home games on Mon. and Tues. They got moved together because the 6th grade is going to Outdoor Ed on Wed till Fri. The schedule says there is practice on Wed to Fri but check since the 6th grade will be gone. Soccer starts Tues at 4:15 till 5:30 or maybe 6:00 I don't know for sure. Mr. Bill Auther is the coach.

Other
I can't think of any other at the moment, so I will conclude that is all for this week, check the assignment update on the blog for daily assignments.

assignment 9-10-10 udate/addition

I just found this information from Mrs. Brown about the writing assignment so I am doing the addition which she wrote up for you to understand what she assigned.

From Mrs. Brown: The 5th grade has a writing assignment due Tuesday, Sept. 14. They’ve been working on an alternate ending to the short story entitled “Just Once” by Thomas J. Dygard. Here are the parameters of their assignment: it must be realistic; word length is 200-300 words; they are to include a line from the story (they’ll know what it is) as a literary device; there is to be very little dialogue. The rough draft can be either hand-written or typed (double-spaced). They will eventually be typing the final copy, so if you’d like to assist them in typing it up now, that would be fine. I told them that you could help them with the typing, as long as they sat with you.

assignment 9-10-10

Math - my class has lesson 4 for Monday and Mr. Anders' class has lesson 6.
Soc. St. - read H2, H9 and H10 for Monday
Writing Workshop - they need to do a rough draft for the ending of their story. It can be typed, written or printed. They can dictate it to you for you to type if you want to do that, but make sure it is what they say to you, don't edit it or "fix" it.
Reading - WS 2 and WS 3 are due Mon. they were assigned on Thurs.
That's all for today and the weekend
