Dear
Parents,
Happy Tuesday!
I hope that everyone had a wonderful three-day weekend and were able to
keep warm.
Remember to return the empty large brown envelope and
the brown report card envelope (be sure to sign it) as soon as possible. You may keep all of the contents. Also, if
you have no need for the glass jar that the brownie mix was is, that can come
back to me.
In math, we are working on mastering our subtraction
facts. The zeros, ones and twos were
pretty easy. The threes are more
challenging now we are working on the minus 4 facts. Please watch the math papers that are coming
home. Your child may need a little assistance
in mastering these facts. There will be a set of flashcards coming home for
each set of subtraction facts. Please
use these to play a game or two of concentration which will help review the
math facts as well as work on some memory skills. It is important that the
facts are memorized.
Looking ahead, next week is National Lutheran Schools’
Week. Our teachers are working on making
each day special, including some special dress days. Here are the planned dress
days:
Monday: Pajama and
comfy clothes day
Tuesday: Favorite sports team day
Wednesday: Dress up from a decade in the last 100
years
Thursday: Tourist Day- Wear your favorite vacation
t-shirt
Friday: Favorite
Book Character Day- Bring (or order from
school) a sack lunch
and your favorite picture book to share during a book
picnic! (If a child chooses not to
participate in the special dress day, he/she should wear their normal school
uniform.)
This coming
Sunday is CCLS Sunday at Prince of Peace Lutheran Church. We will gather
together for their 9:00 a.m. worship service and then there is a pancake
breakfast following the worship service. You are invited to join us.
On Monday, the 28th, we will be
working on a service project making “Birthday Bags” for Operation Food Search.
These “celebrations in a bag” are shared with needy families to help make a
child’s birthday a special day. Each
grade is asked to bring specific items for the bags. The second graders are
asked to bring in cake mixes and cans of frosting. Feel free to bring several items
if you wish. Please send the items in
tomorrow, Wednesday, so that we can plan how many more we need to purchase to
make our goal. Our goal is to make 100 bags!
Tuesday, January 29th, will be the 100th day of school
for this year (provided that we do not miss a day of school between now and
then). I would like for each child to
bring 100 things that they are willing to share with the children in the class
for our celebration. (They can be edible (individually wrapped, please) or
non-edible.) I am sure that everyone will come home with quite a
collection! It will be a great equal
sharing activity.
Thanks for reading this letter. God's blessings on your week!
Yours
in Christ,
Janet
