Notes
I would like to take the next 3 weeks
to introduce our new staff – one each week.
Our
afternoon 7&8th grade teacher is Mr. Michael Mayo. He comes to St. Mark’s with 40 years of
experience as an educator. After graduating from what was then Concordia
Teachers’ College, Seward Nebraska and marrying his college sweetheart,
Catherine, they took off for their first call in Mt. Vernon, NY, just above the
Bronx. Mike worked at Yankee Stadium in
the evenings and during the summers. Mike
and Cathy moved “home” to the Cleveland area, where he taught 3rd, 4th,
and 5th grades. A Call to
Toledo to be principal of a new school moved them west. Other Calls were accepted when the Lord moved
them to Cleveland’s East side, and then Cincinnati, where Mike taught and was
principal at Concordia Lutheran School.
Before coming to St. Mark’s, Mike was the principal at Immanuel Lutheran
School, in Hamilton, OH for 10 years. He
taught grades 5&6 in the mornings. Reading
and sports take up Mike’s time away from school. He considers himself a life-long learner, and
enjoys taking “The Great Courses”, mostly on History, Art Appreciation, and
Theology.

Box Tops for Education
St. Mark’s will be participating in
the Box Tops for Education program. My
name is Gil Schepmann and I’m thrilled to be the Box Tops Coordinator for St.
Mark’s. Clipping Box Tops is an easy way
for you to help our school buy what it needs.
Box Tops are each worth $0.10 and they quickly add up to real cash for
our school. This year, our school’s
earnings goal is $1,000
To help our school, just look for pink
Box Tops on products, clip them, and send them to school. For more information on the Box Tops for
Education program, including a list of
participating products and our school’s progress, visit www.BTFE.com Be sure to become a member to receive
exclusive coupons and recipes and learn about extra ways for our school to earn
$.
I hope you’re excited for everything
we can do this year with Box Tops! If
you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact me at gschepmann@cinci.rr.com. I’m here to make our school’s Box Top for Education
program a huge success this year.
Thanks for your help.
Parents’ Night Out
The 6-8 grade students of St. Mark’s
school invite you to have a night out on Saturday, Oct. 11, 5-9PM. Parents with children from infants to 6th
grade may drop them at St. Mark’s so they can spend some quality time
together. The students will watch them
under adult supervision with a variety of activities, games, pizza dinner ($3),
and other forms of fellowship. Children
will be divided into groups based on age.
A free will donation fwill be taken upon pickup. The proceeds will go toward their
end-of-the-year trip. When was the last
time you had a date with your spouse or time to shop without the kids?
Fund Raisers
Another fund raiser that St. Mark’s has
but isn’t used is a Kroger Plus Card. If
you have a Kroger Plus Card you can help St. Mark’s earn rewards. Go online and register your card with our
school at www.kroger.com/communityrewards.
Our school number is 81119. This
is the easiest way to earn rewards for our school without you having to donate
or buy anything extra. St. Mark’s
receives a reward every time you use your plus card. Please help us earn money for daily supplies
and fees.
Happy Birthday

Classroom information
Mrs.
Schulte (Pre-2)
We continue to enjoy this month 'on the farm'
and this week's theme, "Terrific Trees". In Art, we practiced
our tearing skills by making fall leaves to glue to our trees. We enjoyed
the book When the Leaf Blew In by Steve Metzger, a tale of how one leaf
turns an entire barnyard upside down. We enjoyed our fall sensory table
filled with many items found in nature, and even collected a few fall leaves on
our nature hike. In Bible Time, we worked on our creation book, Day 5:
creatures of the sea and sky.
Mrs. Frey
(Pre-3,4)
Preschool
is learning all about fire safety this week during Fire Prevention Week. We
will practice phrases such as “Get Low and Go” and “Stop, Drop, and Roll.” We
will also learn about smoke detectors, the importance of having a meeting
place, and that firefighters are our friends even though their air masks can
make them look scary. 3’s will create flame art, fire trucks, and a fire hose
number line. They will receive a special visit from a real firefighter on
Thursday. 4’s will create a fire safety magnet, write a class book of fire
safety tips, and play fire safety number identification bingo. The fire
department will visit the following week. At Bible Time 3’s will hear about
Jacob’s beloved son, Joseph, and the jealousy of his brothers. God helped
Joseph be kind and forgiving to his brothers. 4’s will hear about God’s
faithfulness to Abraham and Sarah. Although they waited a long time, God kept
his promise and baby Isaac was born.
Mrs.
Reynolds (PK)
We are excited to learn all about fall leaves
and the letter "L" this week in Pre-K!! We will be reading about why
leaves change color in the fall and participating in different fall centers. We
will be making pumpkin scented play-doh and digging for leaves in our sensory
bins!! In Bible this week we are going to be talking about love. How God loves
us and demonstrated that by sending Jesus to save us and how we are supposed to
love one another!
Mrs.
Sherman (K)
Kindergarten's
Bible lesson is about Jacob lying and stealing the blessing from his
brother, Esau. Even though Jacob sinned, God had a plan
for Jacob. The class is excited to go on their first field trip and
visit Blooms and Berries later in the week. In preparation for their
trip, the boys and girls will learn about the life cycle of pumpkins, from seed
to pie, and draw oil pastel pumpkins. The full day students will also
examine the inside of a pumpkin, create a pumpkin and label its parts. During
math, the class will order pumpkin numbers from 1 - 10, participate in math
stations and hunt for patterns in the classroom.
Mrs. Reisenbichler
(1-2)
This week was
a week of firsts again. We welcomed Paul P. to our first grade
class. The first graders also had their first spelling unit and test this
week. In Jesus Time, we learned how Joshua lead the people into the
promised land ,and the first thing they did was build a memorial to remember
what God had done for them. The first graders also had their first
performance in reading to another class. In science, we had our first
online lesson of the year, so you see it was a week of firsts.
Mrs. Mayo (3-4)
In religion we began the week
finishing up the account of Sodom and Gomorrah and then we began the account of
God asking Abraham to sacrifice Isaac. We also talked about trusting in
God this week. In reading we began the book, There's a Boy in the
Girls' Bathroom. In math, the 3rd graders practiced subtraction with
borrowing and then adding with 3 or more addends. The 4th graders worked on
multiplication and division. In science, we continued working with states
of matter. In social studies, we reviewed regions of Ohio. In
Spanish, we worked on school words.
Mr. Postenrieder (5-6)
In our Bible
time this week we looked at are heaven and hell real places, and what makes
people special. In 5th grade math we learned how to use a protractor
and took an American Tour and measured distances. In 6th grade math
we worked with divisibility, ratio, rate, and fractions. In our Language Arts time we spent the week
building our vocabulary and began reading fables, “Ant and The Grasshopper” and
“The Richer, The Poorer.” In Social
Studies we finished building globes. We also began to work with the North
African region by creating power points on Egypt. In Science we continued to
study viruses as well as bacteria. In
Spelling we looked at words where the spelling doesn’t change when adding the
suffix –ion and -ian.
Mr. Mayo (7-8)
The close of
our discussions of Reconstruction after the Civil War is near. We will be writing a “what if” piece,
wondering if Lincoln had not been shot, would our world be different
today? An interesting question, don’t
you think? In Literature we’ll be making
our first foray into writing a short story.
We’ll learn how to set up a map, so we’ll know something about the
character(s), the conflict(s) and the resolution before we begin writing. I want them to appreciate the books we read,
and how much time goes into writing a good one!
Mr. Reisenbichler (7-8)
In religion we will study what God’s Word
says about cheating in school. In 7th
grade math the students are calculating the LCM, solving word problems
involving averaging, and estimating answers.
The 8th grade is learning the laws of exponents and solving
ratio problems. In science we will be
continuing our study of. The students
are planning and making a special snack in STEM.
