Curriculum Tidbits:
- Next week we will be reviewing our first Bible unit in preparation for a test on Wednesday (9/28.) A review sheet will be sent home on Monday.

- Students spent a lot of time brainstorming in order to think of possible topics for their personal narratives this past week.
- Psalm 8 is due to be said aloud to me alone or with a friend OR students may choose to complete a fill-in-the-blank sheet individually.
- In reading, students will reflect on their reading and their teaching point responses in order to make new goals.
Other Tidbits:

- The Walk-a-Thon will be held on Wednesday (9/28). Students should dress for the weather, which in Michigan usually means layers.
