English update:

This week in English class we are focusing on the following:

           1.     We have another spelling test. When you look on Sycamore an extra class has been added specifically for spelling. Spelling packets are 50% of your child’s grade, and the spelling tests are the remaining 50% of your child’s grade.

2.     Students write each Tuesday in their writer’s journals. They were collected this week and will be returned at the end of next week.

3.     Our grammar and writing focus of the week is determining sentence types (declarative, imperative, interrogative, and exclamatory.) We will focus especially on imperative sentences in hopes students will be able to learn and determine the “you” understood. (Such as: “Do your chores” and “Stop playing Minecraft!”

4.     Next week we will continue on our focus of sentence types. We will also begin writing and editing our first assignment—a narrative story.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me via email at rdersch@hzionharvester.org

Blessings!

Walkathon!!  From Class Blogger, Lexi

This week we learned more about our yearly walk-a-thon. We had a special guest come in to talk to us about who our money is going to. It will be given to 2 student that are from foreign countries and they will be attending a Lutheran school in our local area. They will be attending the walk-a-thon to meet some of the students at Zion.

The walk-a-thon will be on September 25, 2015 after lunch and throughout the rest of the day. There will be popsicles to cool down the students after walking for so long. I hope that they will have a great time serving God. 

 From Mrs. R - Pledge sheets and information on Christian Friends of New Americans came home today.  No collections are needed until after we walk.
