Hello,
This past week included a science project, Reading games, and Reader’s Theater. Be sure to check our Facebook page or ClassDojo for photos.
Remember, Midweek Lenten service 2 is this week. We have 3:45 and 6:30 pm services here and a 7:00 pm service at Good Shepherd.
Here are some tidbits for this week:
OWW: The field trip to Old World Wisconsin is Thursday, May 22 from 8 to 3. If you are able to drive and chaperone that would be awesome. Please let me know, and I will add you to the list. Thanks.
READING PROJECT: Ranger In Time game boards are due this Friday, March 14. If your child is going to be out of town, it is due before he or she leaves.
SERMON STUDIES: During 4th quarter, your child will be completing sermon studies as part of our home-school-church connection. There are 20 worship opportunities during quarter four. Your child will complete 9 studies throughout the quarter as part of Christ Light. I will provide the sermon study sheets for your child to use. I have been showing the kids how to fill them out by completing some during church myself and sharing them. Your child will need a clipboard, or something to write on, and a pencil during the service. The bulletin for the service your child does the study for should be turned in with the study.
NIGHTLY READING: After spring break we will begin an Oregon Trail unit for Reading class. This will involve nightly reading at home a few times a week with books that are sent home with your child. A journal entry will accompany each read. (Your child reading at home each night for at least 15 minutes shouldn’t be anything new. It’s good practice. Remember when your kiddos completed nightly Book Bingo for Mrs. Trimmer??) So, now I will simply be tying it into classwork. Thank you for all your assistance with this.
SINGING: Our next singing opportunity is Wednesday, March 26 at St. Stephen’s during the 6:30 pm service.
MISSION: I am excited to see that we should be able to supersede our goal for the Bend, Oregon mission. Monday’s offering should bring us way over the top. Let’s do this!!!! The fourth quarter’s mission will be for MLC.
TEACHER/STUDENT DATES: I am once again planning my Tacos with the Teacher after-school events where I hang out with your kiddo to enjoy some one-on-one fun. We would play games and enjoy taco-themed snacks provided by me. Pick-up time would be 4:15. Dates wouldn’t begin until after Spring Break. Stay tuned for a Sign-Up Genius link listing available dates. It won’t be mandatory to sign up.
BAPTISM BIRTHDAY CELEBRATION: We now have all the baptism birthday dates. Awesome. We will celebrate all our baptism birthdays on Friday, March 28!
SPELLING TESTS: There will not be a test this week.
POP-TOP TABS: There has been an awesome outpouring for this drive. Thank you and keep them coming.
God’s blessings,
Karen Cooper
