Hello,
We definitely had a packed week with lots of fun activities: Spirit Week, Accreditation Team Visit, 100th Day, Valentine’s Day, Pep Fest, Mini Raider photos, and a full moon (If you know; you know!!) Stay tuned to our Facebook page and Class Dojo for some pics.
Here are some tidbits for the week:
VALENTINE’S DAY: Thank you to everyone who brought treats and/or cards.
TEST GRADES: Test grades in any class count double.
BAPTISM BIRTHDAYS: How fitting the Meditations devotion was on Sunday, Feb. 10. I added it to our baptism birthday board. If your family uses Meditations you may have noticed it as well. Plans for our celebration of baptism birthdays are in the works.
SINGING: Our next singing opportunity is Sunday, March 2 at St. Stephen’s during the 8:00 service. The kiddos will be sitting with you and coming up to sing.
MISSION: Our new mission will be for a starter congregation in Bend, Oregon. Our goal will once again be $500. Our total so far is $292.55 which is roughly 59% of our goal. We have $207.45 left to raise to meet our goal for blessing this mission.
SPELLING TESTS: No tests this week.
UNPLEASANT ODORS: Our classroom has been quite odiferous this week. The smell is not from armpits or hair which will be up and coming as kiddos get older, but seems to be more in line with stinky feet and hopefully only gaseousness. I did talk to the kiddos about hygiene in kid speak. When I mentioned being sure to change socks, I did hear an “Oh…” quietly arise! Talking about changing unders usually only results in giggles and “gross”, so I’ll let you handle that one.
POP-TOP TABS: My sister’s school is collecting pop-top tabs, monster tabs, etc. for a family using the Ronald McDonald House due to a serious injury of their son. If you aren’t collecting these for any other reason, feel free to send them to our room, and I will get them to my sister. Thanks.
STUDENT COUNCIL: Student council has planned an ice cream fundraiser. When sending a dollar for your child, please send it in a labeled envelope or ziplock, etc. The order form may be included to kill two birds with one stone.
SNACKS: Be sure your child is packing a snack. Please remind your kiddo that this is snack time and not meal time. Breakfast was only a few hours before, and lunch will be 2 hours later. Also, please check in on what is being packed.
God’s blessings,
Karen Cooper
