Dear Parents,
We
are hoping to have a week when everyone is better and back at school. We had a wonderful National Lutheran Schools
Week. Now it is back to our normal uniforms and hopefully, a five-day week.
Valentine’s Day is just
around the corner and everyone is so excited!!!
We are looking forward to a wonderful party on Valentine’s Day. Thank
you so much to all of the parents who are organizing and contributing to the
party. The children may bring their valentine cards in on that day. (The class
list of names is at the bottom of this letter.) We will make a bag to hold the
valentines in class this Friday. If
you wish to send any candygrams, they are due in the office on Tuesday,
February 12th. (Candygram forms are coming home today.)
This
Wednesday we will take a field trip to Concordia Publishing House to see how
books go through the publishing process.
We will leave school at 9:05 and be back by 11:30 (in time for
lunch). Parents are welcome to join
us. Just let us know if you are coming.
This
week on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, the first graders will be holding their
annual garage sale. This happens before
school in the stained glass hallway. The
items are priced from 50 cents to possibly $5.00. There will also be a bake
sale (as long as the items last) at lunch time.
Baked goods are 50 cents per bag.
The proceeds will go towards the tuition costs of the first grade
sponsored students at CCLS-Uganda.
On
Friday, February 15th, we are thrilled to have another author visit
with us. His name is Mike Wohnoutka. He
has written and illustrated several books for younger children. The form to order books came home on Friday.
The February book
orders need to be turned in on or before this Friday, February 8th.
You may also order the books on line (www.scholastic.com/parentordering
).
This week in math, we will
work with dimes and pennies to understand how to subtract with regrouping (i.e.
borrowing). Then we will do more and more of those problems just on paper,
without the coins. We will learn a
little saying to help us remember what to do. (More on the top, no need to stop…More
on the floor, go next door, get ten more.
Number’s the same? Zero’s the game.). Keep practicing those subtraction
facts each day.
Monday, February 18th
(Presidents’ Day) is a professional development day for the teachers (no school
for the students). The teachers will be
available in the afternoon that day (1:00-3:30) for Parent- Teacher
conferences. A form will be coming home
with your child. These are optional conferences that can be requested by the
teachers or the parents.
Yours in Christ,
Janet Leet
(Looking
ahead: We will take the next two weeks
(weeks of Feb. 11th and Feb. 18th) to learn and say the
Apostles’ Creed. Your child may say it all
at once or break it into two parts. I thought I would share it this week just
in case your child wants to start learning it.)
Part
1: 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.
Part
2: 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.
