Newsletter for the week of February 19th

Memory work: (Many of the students said the whole creed last week, so they do not have to say any memory work this week. Others chose to say the first half last week and are saying the second half this week.)

The Apostles’ Creed: I believe in God the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth.  And in Jesus Christ his only Son, our Lord; who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary; suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died and was buried. He descended into hell.  The third day he rose again from the dead.

He ascended into heaven and sits at the right hand of God the Father almighty.  From thence He will come to judge the living and the dead.  I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy Christian church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body and the life everlasting. Amen

Dear Parents,

            Happy Tuesday! It was great seeing so many of you at the auction Saturday evening.  While we do not have the final numbers, it appears that once again our families truly blessed CCLS with their generosity.   We have a four day week this week!  Hopefully, we will not have to worry about winter weather this week!  

            In math, we are continuing to learn how to regroup (borrow) when subtracting.  Most of the children are doing very well with this concept.  It is one of the hardest things that we learn in second grade!  We are working on the minus 7 facts this week.  These can be tricky! Please encourage your child to complete the fact sheets each night, even though they don’t have to bring the sheet back to school. Also, take a few moments to look over your child’s homework each night.  You can help catch any errors and take the time to explain them to your child.

This Friday is a fun day for the second grade classes.  In the morning, Mrs. Ladd’s class will have their famous American showcase in the hallways.  This living museum will be open from 10:30-11:30.  You are invited to visit during that time. 

Then in the afternoon, our class will set up their Famous American reports in the hall for everyone to see.  Remember that your child may bring their costumes and props for this event. The time for this display is from 2:15 until 2:50.  Again, you are invited to see all of the wonderful famous American projects that the children completed.

Have you told anyone about CCLS recently? Our families are our best advertisers.  Spread the good word. Thanks for reading! Have a great week!                                                         

Yours in Christ,

Janet Leet
