Notes
Welcome to the preschool
families. St. Mark’s Lutheran School is
looking forward to serving your family with love, kindness, and forgiveness
through Christ. If ever you have a
questions, comment, or concern, please feel free to address it to me, a
teacher, or Mrs. Cartheuser, our secretary.
One privilege that we have at our
school is to worship together. The
morning classes (except for Pre-3’s) meet every Wednesday at 9:15 AM. Parents are welcome to join us. The afternoon classes meet on the first
Wednesday (except this month it is on Sept. 10) at 1PM. The preschool class is dismissed after their
special lesson in the morning worship service.

Market Day
St. Mark’s has chosen a monthly

Epistle. Please ask a teacher or me if
you have any questions. Ordering online
is very easy.
Dress Down Day for K-8
St. Mark’s usually has one dress down
day per month. Students in Kind. to
grade 8 may pay $1 to dress down on Friday, September 12. Please give your money to your teacher. Students do not have to dress down on this
day – it is optional. No unchristian
words, logos, or pictures are permitted on these days.
Additional Extended Care
Worker Needed
St. Mark’s has had such an increase in
applications for extended care that another supervisor is needed most days
starting at 3PM until 6PM. Please
contact the office if interested. If you
know of someone needing some extra hours, please contact us.
AR (Accelerated Reader)
St. Mark’s pays a large fee for each
student to have access to this site. It
supports our reading curriculum while allowing each student to read books on
their exact reading level. Parents may
have access to their child(ren)’s records by having their own log in. This can be requested through the
office. Many students moved up in their
point club on the AR Wall of Fame. Look
in the school main hallway for your child’s name. Quizzes can only be taken during the week at
school.
School Tuition
Parents are reminded that tuition is
now due for the year. If possible you
can fill out a form that allows us to deduct that fee from your account of
choosing on the days that you specify.
It can be deducted once or twice a month. If you used this method last year, you need
to complete a new form for this year.
The first payment is due this month for preschool families.
Happy Birthday

Classroom information
Mrs.
Schulte (Pre-2)
In our Preschool 2 class we welcomed
the children and “hopped” right into the first day of Preschool. A lot of
our time was spent helping them get used to their school, classroom, teachers,
and friends. We also spent a lot of time learning our routines during
Welcome, Table, Circle, Bible, Center, Story, Bathroom, Snack, and Outdoor
times. We started the day at Circle Time introducing the MYSTERY BAG
(what could be in there?), hopping around like a fog (fast, slow, high, low),
and learning our Hello Song together. Along with apple slices, we shared
a favorite snack of frogs…flies (yummy raisins)! We read the story FIVE
SPECKLED FROGS at Story Time. At Bible Time we read from Genesis 1:1 and
began our Creation Books. And when we went outside to our fun playground,
we helped plant mums in our flower box.
Mrs. Frey
(Pre-3,4)
Preschool
is very excited to get started this week! Our theme will be All About Me as we
share more about ourselves to get to know each other. 4’s will create a name
collage and make an “Eye See” graph of eye color. 3’s will focus on the color
red and make “Paint Blots.” During Bible Time both groups will learn the
creation story and how we are God’s favorite creation!
Mrs.
Sherman (K)
Kindergarten
continues to learn about God's wonderful creation. The class will sing,
worship, pray, praise and seek the truth in God's Word as they
hear about Adam and Eve enjoying time in the Garden of Eden with
God. The boys and girls will begin reading workshop and participate in
small group literacy activities. They will learn the letters Mm and Nn
and sort pictures by the beginning sounds /m/ and /n/. During math,
Kindergarten continues "getting to know numbers" and sorting by
attributes. At science time, they will create a chart, "What is
science?". The full day Kindergarten students, will learn a color
song in Spanish, sort by length and create number charts in math. They
will also read and complete an emergent reader called "Rainbow Hair".
Mrs.
Reisenbichler (1-2)
This week the
children learned about God' promise to Abram and the fulfillment of that
promise in the birth of Isaac. In math, first graders are working on
number sense in counting forward and back while the second graders are working
on making tens. Turtles are the topic in science this
week. We made concept maps recording information we learned about turtles,
and worked on our science vocabulary. first graders had fun with
Humpty Dumpty this week. We did a few egg experiments with raw eggs
and hard boiled eggs. Second graders worked with nouns and verb, and
learned about collective nouns.
Mrs. Mayo (3-4)
In religion, we studied the account of
Cain and Abel and talked about how well God knows us. In grammar we
worked on prepositions, which we will be working on for several weeks. In
reading, we continued to work on our reading notebooks and tried to catch up on
the items we didn't get to last week - recounting stories, idioms, and part of
characteristics of stories. In social studies we learned about Ohio's
physical features and some of its natural resources. In science we talked
about the tools used in science. We then tried to make our own compass
out of a needle and a magnet. In math, the 3rd graders worked on
equivalent names, chance events, calculator routines, and finding
differences. The 4th graders began using compasses to construct circles,
hexagons, and triangles.
Mr. Postenrieder (5-6)
In our Bible
time this week we looked at the Lutheran Church Missouri Synod with a special
look at our cross. In 5th grade math we worked with divisibility,
prime and composite numbers. In 6th grade math we reviewed
fractional parts, perimeter, line segments, rays, perimeter, and the number
line. In our Language Arts time we
continued to build our vocabulary, as well as began a new story called “The
Good Deed.”. In Social Studies the topic was Africa’s physical geography. In
Science we began to answer the question: “What is Life?” We looked at
classifying living things and how this is useful in more than just Science. In
Spelling we studied words with the prefixes re-, un-, dis, mis-.
Mr. Mayo (7-8)
As we continue
to delve into the Civil War, we’ve come upon the battle of Antietam. Many people know of this bloody battle. Some of the students were surprised to learn
that more Americans died in that 3-day battle than in the previous 3 WARS in
which our nation fought!
We’re reading
Animal Farm, which many students
don’t get a chance to read until high school.
The students are enjoying the book, and enjoying the discussions about
those who seek power and for what reasons, even more.
Mr. Reisenbichler (7-8)
In religion we will study what God’s Word
says about school struggles – especially grades and cheating. In 7th math we will work with
fractions and percents. In 8th
math we will study prime numbers, rational numbers, and equivalent
fractions. In science we are looking at
all the organelles in a cell.
