Subtraction Club
Our Subtraction Club opened its doors to new members this week.  Usually it doesn't start until second quarter, but this year's fourth grade did such a great job being inducted into the Addition Club, enrollment started at a record pace.  We have two charter members of the Subtraction Club: Caroline and Elizabeth.

Science Test
We will have a Science test that covers Chapter 4 on Friday, October 1.  Because we are covering the same material again in Health class during the fourth quarter, I will allow students to use their book for the test.  We will have a review in class prior to the test and extra credit will be offered.  There will not be a study guide given for this chapter.

Baby Food Jars
I am asking that each student bring in a baby food jar on Friday, October 1.  This week we are reading about biscuits.  I would like to make biscuits and homemade butter on Friday.  Baby food jars are essential to the butter making process.  If a parent or two would like to join us on Friday at 1:30 to help with the biscuit project I would happily accept.  Let me know if you are interested and available.

Chapel
Looking way ahead in our calendar year, our fourth grade class will be in charge of chapel on Wednesday, April 27.  I am sure your student would love to have you there.  It will be a special Easter Chapel.  My husband, Seminarian Matyas, will be helping us.


Writing Assignments
Both the September Book Report and the Persuasive Essay are due this upcoming week.  The book report will count as both an English writing grade and a Reading grade.  The Persuasive Essay requires a parent's signature verifying that he or she has read over the essay and helped with proofreading.

Picture Retakes
Students who did not have a picture taken at registration or who desire to have their picture retaken will have their opportunity on Monday, September 27.
