                 VERSE OF THE WEEK                                                                      QUOTE OF THE WEEK



Anyone who does not love does not know God—                         The difference between Mrs. Sexton’s class and Mr. Peinado’s class is that
for God is love.                                                    “he’s a lot louder, and there is more work! But snack time makes up for it.”

                                                                    Leah Cave & John Chabala

      1.    Classroom Happenings: Although it was a short week, we lost Monday due to Labor Day, it has been full with
            students learning the appropriate procedures for completing class work in Spelling and Math, labeling
            papers properly in all subjects, learning about the three components to fitness (strength, endurance, and
            flexibility) and reviewing our Agreements and Classroom Procedures. This week we also discussed
            consequences and rewards for classroom expectations and learned about what God wants for us in this
                                    rd   th
            life. If you ask your 3 or 4 grader they may say Shalom (Hebrew word for complete peace); if your child is a
              th
            5 grader hopefully they respond with the Fruits of the Spirit found in Galatians 5. If you should have any
            questions and need to get a hold of me you can reach me at rpeinado@sasonline.org or you can contact me at
            home (503.366.2770).

      2.    STAR Notebooks is a student organization folder that will be a place for students to store returned work,
            classroom rules, schedules, assignments, etc. during the school year. There is a letter explaining the folder to
            you. The section that is most important is the Daily Agenda which will be your way of checking in to see what
            your child completed for the day. Students should take folders home daily and return them with a
            parent/guardian initial at least twice a week. This is one of my systems of checks and balances so students
            know that they are accountable for completing their school work.


      3.    Each Thursday you will receive a Thursday Packet from the School Office. It is important that envelopes are
            returned before the following Thursday, signed so that we know that you have received a packet. Any
            questions please contact Mr. McKeone or stop by the office and speak with Mrs. Loeks our school secretary.
