Newsletter for the week of December 10, 2018





Memory work:  (This is part 2 of the words we will say at the Advent service. Some students said it last week, so they do not have to say it this week.)

 But the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid. I bring you good news that will cause great joy for all the people.  Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is the Messiah, the Lord.  This will be a sign to you: You will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger.”

Dear Parents,
            We are now two weeks away from our Christmas break!   There are so many things to do!  We will continue our Christmas around the world country presentations.  The country reports that we have heard so far have been excellent.  I am sure that this week’s reports will also be great.
In math, we are getting into the swing of adding two-digit numbers with “carrying” (regrouping). We are also starting to work with the minus facts, beginning with minus 1 and minus 0, the really easy ones.
Of course in religion, the Christmas story will be our focus for the next week.  What a wonderful story it is AND what a blessing it is that we can share this story with those around us each and every day.
Any Scholastic book orders are due on or before this Wednesday.  You may place them on line or send the order with a check to me. I will place the order Wednesday evening and the books will be here before the break.
Next Monday evening, December 17th, is our annual K-8 Advent service at Concordia Lutheran Church in Kirkwood. The service is scheduled to begin at 6:30 p.m.  The children are to meet Mrs. Klug and me in the Concordia Center by 6:25. Please make sure that your child has used the bathroom before meeting us.  We will sit together as a class.  After the service, please meet your child where we are sitting. This is a worship service. It is always a special worship event in the lives of our CCLS families. Afterwards, there will be a bake sale with special treats for your holiday functions.
            The end of the second quarter is next Friday, the 21st.  I will need to have your child’s church and Sunday school attendance form and your child’s service project form turned in on or before that day.  Thanks so much.  I am planning to work on the report cards over the break.  They will be released on Friday, January 11th.
           
Have a wonderful week!
Janet
