Great things are happening at Christ Church School! The church has called a new rector and we are excited about the spiritual leadership he will bring to our school and his interaction with our students!
Don't forget that next Sunday, October 4, is Christ Church School Sunday - a yearly event that celebrates the school, honors our students, parents, and staff, and provides the opportunity to fellowship as a family.
Spelling words for this week are:
first
bird
third
thirst

These week in History we will learn about mummies! Everybody is interested in this fascinating aspect of ancient Egyptian history, so we will learn why they mummified people as well as animals!
By the way, the Egyptian village project is wonderful - very creative representations of life during this time.
In Bible, we will learn about Ruth, Naomi, Boaz, and Obed. The most beautiful part of this story is
that God had a plan for Ruth, who became the great-grandmother of King David, and is in the family tree of Jesus.
We are enjoying Mr. Popper's Penguins - there is never a dull moment in the Popper household! Students take turns reading aloud and are doing a great job! Please remember how important it is for second graders to read aloud at home at least 20 minutes each night.
It is time to schedule fall parent conferences - can you imagine it is already that time? A form has been sent home for parents to look over. I am also sending home information about the Pizza Hut reading program, which begins on October 1. The project is optional, but it certainly is a win-win for young readers!
