     Many of you have been using the Spelling City site with your children.  If you are one who is still having troubles getting on the site please let me know.  It would be great to practice the words on Monday night.  Our test will be on Tuesday.
     I pray you are enjoying the beautiful fall weather.  The week ahead looks to be a good one weather wise.  Make sure your children spend some time soaking in the sunshine.
     It came to my attention last week that half of our class does not remember their addresses.  You might check with your child.  Knowing that address could be quite important.

BLESSINGS!

     Thank you for helping to make our Charlotte's Web Day so enjoyable.  We had some very cute little farmers and farm animals.  Thank you to Hannah G.'s parents for providing our snack.
     Along with your child's mail you will find his/her Cup of Kindness.  Fellow classmates were given a chance to write a word to describe your child.  It was a pleasant time that was spent thinking of positive and kind words for each classmate.  We also had a guest speaker who talked with the children about bullying.  You have a chance to hear that speaker on Tuesday evening.  I hope to see you here.
     This Friday afternoon we will have Show and Tell.  Help your child think of two clues to help the children guess what he has brought to show.
GOD'S BLESSINGS ON YOUR WEEK!

     Your child should have come home with the instrument he made in science class last Friday.  It was so much fun to watch their imaginations as they invented their sound makers.  Thank you to those who were able to send materials for the children to share.
     This week we will have a bee keeper coming to school to talk to the children about raising honeybees.  Don't worry.  Everyone will be kept safe from the little insects. We have also declared Friday as our Charlotte's Web Day.  The children may dress up like little farmers and bring a stuffed farm animal for the festivities.  A parent has provided a special afternoon snack of popcorn and juice.  Thanks! 
     One more thought to share...this week anti-bullying will be the focus of our classroom devotions at Faith.  On Friday a special speaker will come in to talk to each age group about bullying.  May our kind and forgiving Savior bless our efforts.
