Notes
St. Mark’s gives homework. Like an actor rehearsing his lines or a
batter working on his swing, your child does homework to practice what he
learns in school. If he’s like most
youngsters, homework brings occasional challenges. When your child gets home from school or
extended care, he may want to relax for a little while, or he may want to jump
right in and work. Have him try each
method for one week and keep track of how it goes. After two weeks, he can see which routine
worked best. Does your child ever feel
restless when he’s doing homework?
Suggest that he get up and move to a new spot. For example, he might finish his vocabulary
assignment at the kitchen table and then read his science chaper on the
porch. A planned break can also give him
a second wind. Help your child make a
list of strategies he can use when he gets stuck. For a math assignment, he might try tools
like a number line or find sample problems in his book. When he’s reading, he could look up words in
a dictionary or reread a paragraph. If
he’s still stumped, he might call a friend or write down his question to ask
his teacher the next day.

Family Fun Night
September 25 is our first Family Fun
Night of the year. Several display stations that show students different
aspects of life during the 19th century will be presented along
with hands-on learning activities for the students to see and
experience the daily life and work of their 1800s counter parts. Students
will be able to try a corn grinder, use a drop spindle, card wool, stitch
embroidery, play Jacob’s Ladder, carry wooden buckets and more. The fun
starts at 6:30. We hope to see you then.
Fund Raisers
St. Mark’s usually has one major fund
raiser each year. This year we will not
sell Christmas items. Instead, we will
hold a Walk-a-thon. More information
will be coming later. Also, we have
several small, on-going fund raisers. We
collect Box Tops for Education, used ink jet cartridges, and recycled paper (no
cardboard). Market Day is a monthly sale
that requires families to order either online or via an order form.
Happy Birthday

Classroom information
Mrs.
Schulte (Pre-2)
Week three of Preschool found us
having a TURTLE-RIFIC day ‘around the pond’. The children even brought
home their very own turtle pets (pretend ones, of course). We practiced
our Hello Song and Here is My Turtle poem during Circle Time!
During Center Time we again enjoyed the Reading Pond complete with play water,
stuffed pond animals, and lots of pond life books. During Bible Time, we
continued to share Day Two of the Creation story and work on our creation
books. We worked on our color and shape of the month by using our sensory
table filled with green items and circles. And during Outdoor Play, we
played a game of Red Light, Green Light. Finally, we ended the day with a
story, Turtle Splash by Cathryn Falwell.
Mrs.
Reynolds (PK)
This
week Pre-K is learning about the letter "H" and Homes/Houses. We will
discuss what our houses look like and what makes our houses special.In math we
will be making patterns and making a graph of whether more students have
sisters and brothers or more students do not have sisters or brothers. In Bible
time we will learn the story of Daniel in the Lions den. We will practice
writing and spelling our names correctly and counting how many letters are in
each of our names.
Mrs. Frey
(Pre-3,4)
Preschool will be focusing
on H for homes this week. 3’s will stamp the letter H with Legos. 4’s will
create Tile Paintings. We will hear the account of Noah and the Flood during
Bible Time. 3’s will play Simon Says to practice following directions just as
Noah answered God’s call. 4’s will create a rainbow mural with their handprints
to remind us of God’s promises.
Mrs.
Sherman (K)
This week,
Kindergarten will hear the account of Noah and the flood. This is a
lesson of obedience, patience, thankfulness and promises. In science, the
class will begin studying weather. They will graph the daily weather and
illustrate a book. At literacy time, they will listen to different
versions of The Three Little Pigs. They will retell the story
during reading workshop. At math time, Kindergarten will make a ladder
for Humpty Dumpty to get off the wall. The boys and girls will use cubes
to measure the ladder.
Mrs.
Reisenbichler (1-2)
In Jesus
Time, the children learned about Moses and how he was God's chosen
leader. We learned that God equips us to
fulfill His plan. This week the children had their first math
assessments. They are now refreshed and ready to move on to developing
more mathematical skills. The second graders did a lot of
drawing, writing, and rewriting this week in language arts. Once the
final draft of their stories was complete, they started on a web quest to learn
about frogs. First graders faced a new challenge this week. A
sentence was dictated to them, and they had to write it with correct
capitalization, spacing, and punctuation. In science, we finished making
our alligators and learned about lizards.
Mrs. Mayo (3-4)
This week we finished the account of
the tower of Babel and talked about how God is our foundation. Then we
went on to the account of God's promise to Abram and how God blesses us.
In reading we learned about characteristics of drama. Then we divided
into 3 groups to practice dramas of rewritten folktales to present to the
class. In math the 3rd graders began the week with a chapter test.
Then they went on to reviewing fact families and extending their facts by
multiples of 10. The 4th graders worked with numbers to hundred millions
- writing them, organizing data using big numbers, and adding them. In
Ohio history, we continued to research famous Ohioans and found out that there
were a lot of amazing people in Ohio! In science we learned about the
properties of matter.
Mr. Postenrieder (5-6)
In our Bible
time this week we looked what it means to call God, “Father.” We will also
study our beginnings in Bible as well as Science. In 5th grade math
we worked with estimation, adding/subtracting whole numbers and decimals, and
addition/subtraction number stories. In 6th grade math we worked
with place value, combination problems, elapsed time, and negative
numbers. In our Language Arts time we
spent the week working on our reading fluency and comprehension with some timed
tests and comprehension checks. In Social Studies we continued to study
Africa’s physical geography. In Science we continued with to answer the
question: Where and how did life begin?
In Spelling we studied words with the comparing suffixes –er, -est, ier,
iest.
Mr. Mayo (7-8)
Our
lighthearted romp through the Civil War has ended. We are now reviewing and getting ready for a
TEST, a la Mr. Mayo, whose tests are probably as different as he is! The anticipation is palpable.
We have now
moved to the Literature book, after our spirited discussions of Orwell’s Animal Farm. We’re learning the elements of literature
such as plot, internal and external conflict, and setting. Mr. Mayo gave us a “take-home” test in
Literature. Little did we realize we
would have to quote from the book and defend our points of view!
Mr. Reisenbichler (7-8)
In religion we will study what God’s Word
says about movies and music. In 7th
grade math the students are learning about the metric system, functions, and
angles. The 8th grade is studying
estimating, geometry, and rational numbers.
In science we will be continuing our study of cells with the focus on
active transport and passive transport across the cell membrane.
