Announcements

It's been a FULL first quarter! We have covered so many things in class and we are loving this group of kids. Thank you for a great start to the year. We look forward to touching base on conference day in October, and we wish everyone a safe and enjoyable fall break!

Annual SMK Walkathon

Welcome to SMK’s annual Walkathon fundraising page! As part of our exciting school building project, all funds raised through this year’s Walkathon will go toward our PTO, which supports many initiatives, including new playground equipment at our new school! Our students are getting involved in this effort by planning acts of service to earn donations and help contribute to our goal. We hope to raise $12,000 to help cover the cost of the new playground equipment, and we are counting on the generous support of our community to help us reach this goal. Please know that no donation is too small. Every contribution brings us one step closer to creating exciting new playgrounds for our students to enjoy! Thank you for your ongoing generosity and support of St. Mary of the Knobs!

Learning Targets

Religion: We will wrap up the quarter with Adoration on Monday and a quiz over the Trinity/Fruits of the Spirit on Wednesday. We'll flag notebook pages on Friday to look over.

Math: We will take our first Math Checkpoint over long division, volume, and interpreting remainders. This will provide us with necessary data moving into the second grading period.

Reading: We will have an end of novel test over Wonder on Monday. Given the nature of this assessment, there really isn't a way for students to prepare or study.

Writing: We are working on narrative writing.

Science: We will wrap up our Ecosystem Unit with a visit from Raptor Rehab of KY on Wednesday. We will get to see birds of prey up close and personal!

Homework

No homework this week! We are wrapping up grades.

Something To Think About

We are excited to give the kids an opportunity to take part in Adoration. Being in front of the Blessed Sacrament is being in the real presence of Jesus! This is often challenging, especially for kids, because we don't 'feel' any differently when we are there. However, we can't grow in our relationship with Jesus just by learning about Him. Instead, we must spend time with Him, talk to Him, and reflect on His word.
