Decemeber 3-7

This coming Sunday the 3rd-5th grade will be singing in church.  I plan to have them all meet in the back of the church (narthex) before the service beginning.  As the bell rings, we will then walk forward and sing immediately at the beginning of the service.  Please make sure your child is here and ready to sing by 8:55.  Also, following the service, the 3rd and 4th graders will be serving coffee hour.  I will take care of providing the drinks.  If everyone else could bring a treat to share that would be great.  We will clean up everything following the Bible study.

This coming week begins the mid-week advent services.  I will do my best to minimize the homework that students come home with on Wednesdays so that your family can prepare for Jesus’ birth at our 7 p.m. services.

This week the students will have several tests. On Tuesday the third graders will have a math test. On Wednesday there will be a fourth-grade math test, an English test, and a social studies test. Finally, the usual spelling test will be on Friday.

The next Scholastic Book orders are coming home soon.  Please note that they are due back on Wednesday, December 5.  As always you can order online using the class code, or you can send exact payment to school.  If you are paying by check, please make it payable to “Susan Van Houten.”  Finally,  if any of the books that you are ordering are Christmas gifts, please let me know so that I will be sure to get them to you in secret.
