New This School Year
Kindergarten, First, and Second grades are now reporting student progress by using an ungraded report card system. In the past, first and second graders were utilizing letter grades to show progress, but now it will be more of a checklist of skills needed. Therefore, we will NOT be using the Thinkwave online grading program for displaying grades this year. Grades 3-8 will continue to use Thinkwave. Please let me know if you have any questions.
Spelling City!
A fantastic way to study spelling words is by using the link above for a website called Spelling City. NEW THIS SCHOOL YEAR: St. John's has purchased the premium edition of Spelling City, which will add more games and activities than were available last year! The catch: you will need to have your student login each time when starting up the website with their own username and password in order to access the premium activities. Usernames and passwords can be found on a notecard coming home in the Friday Communication Folder. Please look for this notecard, and login Spelling City to play! Look for the lists under the group name "First and Second Grade 2014".
School Pictures!
School pictures will be taken on Wednesday, September 24th. The fall picture is the one from the waist up. Please send your child to school prepared for pictures on Wednesday!
Our Helper On Tuesdays
We welcome Megan Moreland to our classroom as an extra pair of hands on Tuesday mornings! Miss Megan is a freshman at HLG, majoring in Elementary Education. We are glad to have her join us!
Saxon Math Homework
As we continue to work to solidify our classroom schedule, it is looking like you can expect to see Saxon Math homework to be coming home in the Communication Folder on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday evenings. This was different this week, as we were testing (Lesson 10), but please look for it on those evenings as we continue on with Lesson 11 on Friday...

Reading/Spelling
This week, we continued to practice being independent readers and writers using "The Daily Five" method. While students built stamina while "Reading to Ourselves" and "Writing On Our Own", I was able to do some diagnostic testing on each student's reading abilities. We will conclude our introduction of The Daily Five next week, and plan to begin our Reading and Spelling studies starting the week of September 15th! In the Friday Communication Folder, please look for a handout which will be helpful when we start digging into these subjects. One side features a Guided Reading Star which your student is using to help coach other students on difficult words while "Reading with Someone". Please use this tool at home while reading with your child, and ask them about "coaching" or "time". The flipside demonstrates the American Sign Language alphabet, which can be a fun way to practice those Spelling words!
September Book Order
A book order form can be found in your child's Friday Communication Folder. If you would like to order this month, please send order and payment back to school by Wednesday, September 10th. Please make checks payable to the company from which we are ordering and return in an envelope marked with your child's name. Please consider giving online ordering a try! Please use class code GQYQQ and click the link above for Scholastic Reading Club.

August 29th News and Notes
Blogging Full Speed Ahead!
Hello everyone! This week, I will send one more printed copy of the blog home in the Friday Communication Folder. Starting next week, please check the blog online on Fridays for the updated version. Please let me know ASAP if you will need a printed copy.
Sleep and Breakfast Are Important
We are still adjusting to being back in school again, and many of the kids are used to getting up late, eating a late breakfast, then having a normal lunch time. Now that breakfast is happening early, they are "STARVING" by the time lunch finally rolls around at 12:00! Please encourage your student to go to bed at a reasonable time, and to eat a good breakfast before coming to school each morning. Unfortunately, there are no snacks (or naps!) in first and second grade! Thanks!
Saxon Math Homework
Thank you to everyone for your attention regarding the math homework! This is a very important part of the Math program and will help them practice the skills they will need to move forward. I am still working to establish our weekly schedule, so Math homework is not quite as frequent as I had anticipated. Please continue to look for the homework in the folder each evening, just in case. It works best when you give your student a few minutes to complete the work on their own, then sit down with them and look over their paper (both sides) to make sure that they understand and have the correct answers. This homework is not an attempt to "trick" your child at all. If they miss something, please do fix it with them and talk about the answer so that the next time they encounter it on their own - on a test for example - they may be more successful. Please have them use pencil and crayon only (no markers or pens) to complete their work. If you have any questions on how to manage the math homework with your child, please let me know.
Parent Questionnaires and Handbook Sign-Off Sheets
If you have not yet returned these items to school, please do so on Tuesday morning. Thanks!
Morning Routine
Please continue to support and encourage your child to check in and follow our new morning routine. Kids can come into the gym and say their Memory Work to me right away on Memory days!
Handwriting Practice Sheets
In the Friday Communication Folder, please look for a handwriting practice sheet that your child can keep at home and refer to when practicing their handwriting. We use the D'Nealian style of handwriting at St. John's, and yes...we do still teach cursive! This will begin toward the end of second grade!
Religion
Memory Work for the Week of September 1st ... please note the change in due dates for next week due to NO SCHOOL MONDAY FOR LABOR DAY:
Wednesday (First and Second)
God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Psalm 46:1
Friday (First and Second)
I trust in You, O Lord; I say, "You are my God." Psalm 31:14
No additional Memory Work for Second Grade on Friday this week!
Reading/Spelling
We have been working on ways for students to become more independent learners this week. We have been practicing techniques from The Daily Five - including "Reading to Ourselves", "Reading with Someone", and "Writing On Our Own". This week, we added "Word Work" and "Listening to Reading". We will continue to work on this next week. Please look for the first Spelling Test and Reading Sight and Vocabulary Words to appear further into September.

Blog Invitations
I am including a printed copy of this week's blog in the Friday Communication Folder. Please let me know if you have any problems accessing the blog using the address on the pamphlet that I gave out on Orientation Night. (Also, let me know if you have not received (or need more copies of) this pamphlet.) Thank you for helping St. John's save on paper and printing costs again this school year! Please be sure to check the blog every Friday for a new parent letter.
New Morning Routine
The new routine of meeting in the gym in the mornings is going great! We are discussing ways to speed up the sign-in process (and as people get used to it, that should help as well). Please remember to tell your child to sign in and declare their lunch and extended care choices. Also, please remind them to set their lunch boxes and bookbags down by the piano (our class only), and to have a seat by the 1st and 2nd grade sign.
Religion
As part of our first and second grade Religion curriculum, I will be assigning Bible verses for the children to memorize and repeat back to me. Verses will be said twice a week for first graders (Tuesday and Thursday) and three times per week for second graders (Tuesday, Thursday, Friday) unless otherwise notified. We will be practicing them during class time, but some additional help from home would be appreciated. Look for the Memory Verses on the Friday parent letters.
Tuesday (First and Second)
I praise You, for I am...wonderfully made. Wonderful are Your works. Psalm 139:14
Thursday (First and Second)
The one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world. 1 John 4:4

Field Trip Wrap-Up
We had a great time in Springfield on Tuesday! A big thanks to the parents that were able to go along and chaperone, and to all parents for getting the kids to school on time to leave at 7:30 and for making sure they had their lunches and spending money! We had beautiful weather and safe travels, and the kids enjoyed themselves, which was the whole purpose! After totaling up all expenses, I do see that I had my chaperones overpay for the trip by about 66 cents. If you would like your change, please see Mrs. Kendall in the office and she will take care of that for you...
Activities For Next Week
There are several special activities going on next week for the last week of school!
*No School - Monday, May 26th
in recognition of Memorial Day.
*Yearbook Signing - Tuesday, May 27th
Children are encouraged to bring a favorite pen of their choice to sign yearbooks.
*Clean Out of Desks - Wednesday, May 28th
We will be bringing home our school supplies on this day. Please send the regular bookbag along with a couple of extra plastic bags for loading up supplies.
*Early Dismissal - Thursday, May 29th
School will be dismissed at 11:00 am. Kids do not have to bring bookbags. Pizza boxes will come home with report cards enclosed (as long as all fees have been paid in full).
Goodbye and God's Blessings to Mrs. Winters!
We are sad to say good-bye to our classroom aide, Mrs. Winters. She and her family will be moving to St. Peters this summer. She has done so much to help us this school year! We will miss her greatly!
