MRS. VAN DRUNEN'S 3RD GRADE

WELCOME

We are into the new semester.  At our chapel this month, we will be collecting money for thoses in need through CRWRC - a ministry of the Christian Reformed Church.  Our class has voted to collect for a water filter, some chickens and some literacy books.  You can bring your money in at any time.

Our new Bible memory passage is Matthew 6: 19- 34.  It is a long one.  We will begin this week and learn verse by verse.  Review what we have done at home.  I will keep you posted as to how far we are.  We have practiced verses 19 through 25.

We'll be starting memorizing the multiplication facts soon.  Watch for some news about that.

Things to remember as we continue this year:

Read every day!

Make sure that you bring your take home folder back and forth to school.

 Get your library books in on time.

Study math facts!

Fix the mistakes on your papers when you bring them home.

Study for tests!

Go over Bible memory at home.
