Our Week in Review:

We have been working very hard this past week to start the school year off.
Reading had us learning reading strategies that can be used throughout the year as we read independently or in groups. Next week we will start Theme 1—titled “Nature’s Fury.” Please remember to read 20 minutes each night and have AR logs signed.
Farkle was a fun game that the students learned about. All you need are six dice and directions, which the students have. If you get a chance, play this game with your child! We will start Topic 1 next week and learn place value and writing numbers different ways.
Those students that are interested in joining choir will have a chance next Thursday. Choir will then continue on every Tuesday and Thursday at the high school from 2:50-3:15.
There will be a special project starting on Monday about memories. The students will be asked to bring a “memory” to school on Tuesday—they will find out more about this on Monday afternoon.
Accelerated Math (AM) and Accelerated Reading (AR) are both up and running. The students have been reading diligently, and have even scanned and started work with AM. Just a reminder that you can check your books to see if they are AR from home. Go to www.arbookfind.com and type in the title of the book. If it is AR, it will come up and tell you the level and how many points it is worth.
Have a safe and FUN weekend with your families! Call or email with ANY questions that you may have!

Science:
Cells have been the topic of discussion during science class. Students should be starting work on their cell projects at home.

Newsletter Title

Inside Story Headline

This story can fit 150-200 words.
One benefit of using your newsletter as a promotional tool is that you can reuse content from other marketing materials, such as press releases, market studies, and reports.
While your main goal of distributing a newsletter might be to sell your product or service, the key to a successful newsletter is making it useful to your readers.
A great way to add useful content to your newsletter is to develop and write your own articles, or include a calendar of upcoming events or a special offer that promotes a new product.
You can also research articles or find “filler” articles by accessing the World Wide Web. You can write about a variety of topics but try to keep your articles short.
Much of the content you put in your newsletter can also be used for your Web site. Microsoft Publisher offers a simple way to convert your newsletter to a Web publication. So, when you’re finished writing your newsletter, convert it to a Web site and post it.

Inside Story Headline

This story can fit 100-150 words.
The subject matter that appears in newsletters is virtually endless. You can include stories that focus on current technologies or innovations in your field.
You may also want to note business or economic trends, or make predictions for your customers or clients.
If the newsletter is distributed internally, you might comment upon new procedures or improvements to the business. Sales figures or earnings will show how your business is growing.
Some newsletters include a column that is updated every issue, for instance, an advice column, a book review, a letter from the president, or an editorial. You can also profile new employees or top customers or vendors.

“To catch the reader's attention, place an interesting sentence or quote from the story here.”

Inside Story Headline

Selecting pictures or graphics is an important part of adding content to your newsletter.

This would be a good place to insert a short paragraph about your organization. It might include the purpose of the organization, its mission, founding date, and a brief history. You could also include a brief list of the types of products, services, or programs your organization offers, the geographic area covered (for example, western U.S. or European markets), and a profile of the types of customers or members served.
It would also be useful to include a contact name for readers who want more information about the organization.

Organization

Back Page Story Headline

This story can fit 175-225 words.
If your newsletter is folded and mailed, this story will appear on the back. So, it’s a good idea to make it easy to read at a glance.
A question and answer session is a good way to quickly capture the attention of readers. You can either compile questions that you’ve received since the last edition or you can summarize some generic questions that are frequently asked about your organization.
A listing of names and titles of managers in your organization is a good way to give your newsletter a personal touch. If your organization is small, you may want to list the names of all employees.
If you have any prices of standard products or services, you can include a listing of those here. You may want to refer your readers to any other forms of communication that you’ve created for your organization.
You can also use this space to remind readers to mark their calendars for a regular event, such as a breakfast meeting for vendors every third Tuesday of the month, or a biannual charity auction.
If space is available, this is a good place to insert a clip art image or some other graphic.
