We have had a fun, but busy week! Tonight is Trivia Night and you can feel the excitement around here! We have finished our classroom project, entitled “Growing in Faith and Knowledge,” and it is a tree hodgepodge of buttons, ceramics, handprints, and love! Please make sure you come by and see it!
We visit Earthworks next week! If you have not already signed a permission slip for your child, please do so. I have attached one for you, if I do not have one for your child. We do not need any other parent drivers or volunteers, so thank you! The kids have been working so hard preparing for this trip…getting ready for our Earthworks scientist jobs, studying an animal, learning as much knowledge about Missouri/Kansas habitats as we can, and doing fun writing and science projects. We are ready for the fun of Earthworks! I will take plenty of on-site pictures to share with you!
In Religion this week, we discussed the Bible story of The Good Samaritan. We discussed how we are often times like the Levite and the priest, who ignore opportunities to share God’s love, because we are too busy, or think bad thoughts of others, or are just to self-involved to notice when others need our help! We talked about ways that we can take note of others and help in small ways, as well as big ways! I am always encouraged by the children and their strong faith and love for others! If we could all capture that awesome childlike faith, I can imagine what an amazing world we would have…
In Math this week, the third graders learned how to multiply and divide using word problems and fourth graders learned how to multiply 2-digit numbers. We are getting so good at these skills! Please continue to work on facts at home. Thank you!
MUSIC: This week we practiced our songs for the Spring Musical! The children sound fantastic and are doing an amazing job of memorizing the words! We will have two all-school practices next week to get ready for our performances on Friday, April 20th. These will be at 10:30 a.m. and 7:00 p.m. Thank you for all of your help with this!
Please remember that the children are participating in the Flash Mob this Sunday, April 15th, at the 9:30 Service of Joy. Mrs. Burns has asked the kids to be at church by 8:30 to practice. They are to wear jeans, or jean shorts, comfortable shoes, and a solid brightly colored or pastel colored shirt! We are SO excited for this chance to worship God in this amazing way!
Please Remember: Our Mission Project this year is to raise money to help Martin Luther School in Joplin, MO. April and May’s challenge is to raise $250 as a school, and then the class that collects the most money, gets to take a trip to the park and lunch at McDonald’s! What an incentive!
Have a fabulous weekend!
Blessings,
Kim
