Happy Reformation Day!

We loved learning about Martin Luther last week and today.  I'm really impressed with how the children remembered the story of how Martin helped reform the thinking of God, forgiveness and grace.  We are so blessed!

We will work in Lwtterbook T this week and next.  In Math, we bought a book at my store today using our pennies!  We learned about bones and our skeleton today.  We will start talking about voting and our rights and responsibilities as citizens.  Our Montclair visit will be this week, too so we are very busy!!  Your help in getting the little to bed as early as possible the rest of this week is really appreciated!!!  

A Beautiful Fall Week!!

We were so excited to get to eat snack outside yesterday!  It's just a beautiful fall weather week!  

     I want to thank all of you for your prayers and financial support through PALS fundraisers for a wonderful trip to Michigan last week!  Being able to connect with other Lutheran Educators, share stories, ideas and experiences, to present on our full day at the nursing home and to be refreshed through encouraging speakers was so valuable to me.  It wouldn't have been possible without your support so thank you very much!!

     We are having a fun-filled week full of learning many new things.  We are learning about the plans God had for Joseph, Jacob's son, even though his brothers thought their plan would prevail. It's truly a story to show us that God's hand is in all of our lives!  Did you see our handbell choir on Periscope?! Did you see our science activity on motion/force/push/pull today?! They love to work together and I love how they can learn from each other!  We will head to Montclair on Thursday so be sure to send a cold lunch that day.  Also a story wil come home on Thursday that they'll need to read TO YOU!!!  Please sign the sheet and return it and the story on Friday.  

Have a great week in Jesus!!  

October Happenings!

Where is this year going?!  I cannot believe we are to the middle of October already.  I enjoyed visiting with all of you last week at conferences.  Thank you so much for your time, words of support and glimpses you gave me on how to help your child.  

We are learning about Jacob this week.  They are bringing the Bible story home tonight.  We will learn about Jacob's dream tomorrow.

They are very excited to bring home their first story to read to you!!  Enjoy!!  Please sign the slip and return it and the story tomorrow.  

We are practicing spelling phonetic words quite a bit now.  They are so eager to learn!

I thought you'd enjoy this picture....its from after we painted last week (today's painting was done in STEM lab).  A helper put the yellow paint away for me.  The directions were, "put the yellow paint on the shelf beside the refrigerator"!!!  I just love my job!!

Have a wonderful week!!
