Hello, all! My prayer is that you all stay healthy. We have had a tough week with absences. May you feel better soon!
*Today is the end of the 3rd quarter...Can you believe it?! Grade cards will be coming home next Friday.
*The kiddos did a wonderful job hosting Chapel this week! We had a tiny class, but I think the message was powerful! I was proud of how well they shared the message of repentance and forgiveness.
Upcoming Events:
*TLS hosts the Lenten Dinner next Wednesday, March 18th! Please come if you can! We will eat at 6:00, and worship from 6:30-7:00.
*Please mark your calendars! Palm Sunday is March 28th. Students, K-5th, will be singing at the beginning of both services (9 am and 10:30 am). Please plan to bring your kiddo to sing his or her praises to the Lord! We have been working SO hard!
*We are headed to the School of Economics on Tuesday, March 31st! We have all of our parent volunteers for that day but are still in need of some parents to drop us off that morning. We will need to leave school at 9:10, and then some of the parents that are volunteering to work and go through training that day will take us back to school afterwards.

Other important information:
-A paper copy permission slip came home last week. Please sign and return this form.
-There is not a cost for you, as you paid for this field trip in your enrichment fees this fall.
-Students will NOT need to pack a lunch, as they will be making their own lunches that day. **If your child has food allergies and would rather bring in their own food out of safety concerns, that is preferred - please speak with your child's teacher. (Volunteers will be given School of Economics money that day to buy lunch too!)
-Our day ends there at 1:30, so we should return to school about 2:00.
-If you want to help, but all the spots are taken, please contact your child's teacher, and we'll put you on a "will-call" list in the case that another parent has to back out. Thank you in advance for your help! Please let me know if you have any questions.

Here is what we have been up to in the classroom:
RELIGION- This week, we prepared for our Chapel message be reviewing the story of Jesus and the Woman at the Well and discussing Psalm 95. We discussed repentance and forgiveness. In class, we also learned the stories of Philip and the Queen of Ethiopia and of Nicodemus to review the power of Baptism.
MEMORY-3/17-Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you. ~ Ephesians 4:32
3/20-Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. ~ Mathew 28:19
LANGUAGE ARTS- We learned more about the antic of Ramona and Beezus this week, as we read chapters 4 and 5 of “Ramona and Her Father,” by Beverly Cleary. We discussed new vocabulary, story plotting, and contrasted and compared characters. We also reviewed some cursive capitals this week.

MATH- We have been working with making fractions into decimals, reading decimals, adding and subtracting decimals, and working with money. We are slowly learning how to count back change! Students tested over Unit 12 this week and will begin working on measurement next week! All of us are taking our final mad minute quizzes, so please urge your kiddo to keep practicing those multiplication facts!
SCIENCE- We have been learning about invertebrates and the awesome structures that God created for them to survive in this world! We discussed complete metamorphosis and incomplete metmorphosis and the sections of an insect. We also discussed biblical points of view pertaining to God and His creation.
SCHOOL OF ECONOMICS- This week, we interviewed, were assigned our jobs, and met with our shops! We decided on shop names and worked on identifications and name tags. Next week, we will discuss supply and demand, and begin pricing our items and figuring out our loans and the best way to pay them off!
Special Classes:
Art-We read the fun story, “Where the Wild Things Are,” by Maurice Sendak, and then created our own WILD THINGS! We then painted these using our new knowledge of tinting and shading colors using black and white.
Music- Students worked on the beautiful music for our songs for Palm Sunday and for our Spring Program.
Computer Lab-We published our Mom Research Papers and worked on our "All About Me" slides.
P.E.- We are working on jump-roping skills. This is a hard skill for some, so if they get the opportunity, please have them practice—It is great exercise too! They can borrow a jump rope from school, if needed!
Spanish- Students played Jeopardy and learned verbs of the week!
Writers' Workshop- Students filled in some fun "Quick Writes" and shared their stories during Readers' Theatre.
Have a fabulous weekend!
Blessings,
