Dear Parents,

With Cardinals baseball in full swing and the temperatures getting warmer, spring seems to be almost here.  This coming Sunday is Palm Sunday which is the beginning of Holy Week.  It is always a special time to be together as a Christian community.

Today we will welcome Ben’s dad to our class. He is going to make a presentation about economics this afternoon.  We will continue that unit through this week

Any Scholastic book orders are due by this Friday.  You may order online or send a paper order with a check to school.  There will be one more book order after this one.

On Wednesday, May 8^th, our class will be presenting the chapel service at 8:30.  Then at 9:30 we will have our annual author celebration where the children will share with you what they have written throughout the year.  It is important that each child have a guest at the author event with whom they can share their writing.  Please mark your calendar and plan to join us on that day. 

Looking ahead to our end of the year field trips, we are planning to go to the Botanical Gardens on Monday, May 20th   (from 9:00 until 2:15).  We are also hoping to go to the St. Louis Storytelling Festival at the beginning of May, but that date has not been set yet.

Next week is Holy Week.  We will have school through Thursday.  Then we will not have school on Good Friday or on Easter Monday.  The week following Easter is our operetta week and also Grandparents’/Special Friends’ Day on Thursday, the 25^th.  What a busy time for all of us!

God’s blessings on your week.

Yours in Him,

Janet Leet
