Hello, dear parents! Goodness! What a week! We have been busy and had loads of fun celebrating CHRISTmas in all that we did this week! I am so thankful for all of you and your help!
CHRISTMAS ADVENT SERVICE-We shared the message of Jesus birth so beautifully on Wednesday evening! Thank you for supporting us and worshipping with us! The LIGHT has Come!
POLAR EXPRESS PARTY-We had some fun yesterday hot chocolating it up and watching Polar Express in our pj’s! We also had the opportunity to view some of the newer movie, The Best Christmas Pageant Ever, based on the book we read this week. It was fun to compare both movies to the books we read.
BOWLING/CAROLING-We had a blast bowling and caroling today, and we did a beautiful job sharing God’s message at Benton House! I was proud of how our kids witnessed, and how well-behaved they were!
*The end of the 2nd quarter is TODAY! Report cards will come home after Christmas Break.
*Our home BASKETBALL games that were planned for this evening, will be rescheduled. Hope Lutheran has had A LOT of illness, and they do not have enough players to field teams, (and have even postponed their Christmas Program to January.) I am working on rescheduling those games. Please pray for our fellow Brothers and Sisters at Hope Lutheran.
*We have added another field trip to our 4th grade fun! On Friday, January 16th, 2026, we will be visiting Kauffmann Stadium with the 5th graders to attend their Royals Scholastic Victory Program (RSVP). We will be leaving school and returning around 1:30. Please send a sack lunch with your child that day. We will need some drivers and chaperones. Permission slips came home in backpacks last Friday. are coming home in backpacks today. Please sign and return the forms. (I have also attached a hard copy.) Thank you!
Here is what we have been up to in the classroom:
RELIGION-This week, we reviewed the 10th Commandment and also learned about Jesus' Birth From Luke 2. This went right along with the book we read for Language Arts this week.
MEMORY-1/6-Be faithful until death, and I will give you the crown of life.” Revelation 2:10b
1/9-The Lord’s Prayer
Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.
LANGUAGE ARTS-We began and finished the chapter book, “The Best Christmas Pageant Ever!” It is fun for me to hear the little gasps of surprise and the laughter when these kiddos are reading! It is fun to see them so enthralled in a book! We read together, independently, and with partners, and quizzed over each chapter. We also focused on the vocabulary /spelling words from this story.
MATH-This week, most of us mastered long division! We worked on it almost daily, and I think we are getting the hang of it! We have also been working on 10s and 11s in mad minutes and worked with graphing this week.
Special Classes:
MUSIC- We practiced songs for the Advent/Christmas service.
P.E.- We played outside this week when the weather was nice!
SPANISH-Students listened to a Christmas story and guessed the Spanish words. They made ornaments and wrote in Spanish.
ART-We worked on cards for Benton House and we began our auction project.
