This was a good week! We have adjusted to our schedule and are diving into fourth grade work. We had our first chapel this week and Mrs. Shelley's encouraged us to be peacemakers.
Some dates to remember are: Wednesday, August 31st - individual school pictures
Monday, September 5th - school holiday
Each nine weeks the students will be required to read 3 AR books on their independent reading level. They have taken the STAR test to determine their starting level. At the end of each nine weeks, their top three AR scores will be averaged and counted as one daily grade. Please encourage your child to continue reading, even after they have met this requirement. They should read twenty minutes daily. Everyone needs to read, read, read.
