Dear Parents,
I can't believe another week is behind us! I have so enjoyed our school days together and treasure them greatly. This week, we focus again on courage and continue our scripture memory. We'll focus this week on the persecution of the early Church. I'm praying that the lives of Peter and Paul and all the early Christians would serve as courageous examples to all of the students!
Just a reminder: Pizza Day is next week! On the last Wednesday of every month, we will have pizza delivered to school. You may have paid for pizza when you registered, but if not (and if you want your child to have pizza) please give a check of $35 or email bbrannan@fortisacademy.net and he can add to your FACTS account.
I look forward to another wonderful week with these precious kiddos!
Blessings,
Mrs. Poncy
Important Dates:
August 27th: Open House, 6-7pm

Important Info
Math:
Our first math assessment is this coming Wednesday. The assessment will be in the exact same format students have been practicing in class and at home in their workbooks and textbooks. It will cover place-value to the 100's, comparing numbers, and greater than/less than. I will send home a math review, (please find this in the communication tab of your child's binder.)
Reading: Please continue encouraging your child to read independently as much as possible. Consider checking out books at the library that correspond with our science unit (oceans, rivers, lakes and this week, deserts.)
Student History Narrations: This week, we will begin student history narrations, where each week one student will present on what they have learned from our weekly history lesson! I'll reach out by email if it is your child's turn to present. I will email more information about the narrations!
Geography: The continents and oceans assessment is fast approaching on September 5th. For this assessment, students only have to point and identify the continents and oceans (they do not have to write them in the blanks). However, for some students, writing them in the blanks can lead to increased fluency as they learn to recognize these commonly used words in everyday literature.
Copy Work: Since many have asked, I wanted to reach out and let you know that all copy work for now can be done in print until we have more cursive tools under our belt!
