Newsletter for the week of April 15


April 15, 2019

Memory work:
            While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.  Romans 5:8
       
Dear Parents,
            Holy Week is here. This is one of my favorite weeks to teach.  The children know the Passion story, love to hear it again and want to share it with others. Chapel this week will be on Thursday, which is Maundy Thursday.  The fourth graders will be presenting chapel at 8:30.  Then we will have an end of the day chapel service at 2:15.  The afternoon service will be a quiet, somber service remembering the events of Good Friday. You are welcome to join us for either or both of the services. There will be inside pick-up on Thursday afternoon.  We are encouraging everyone to come and leave quietly out of respect for our Savior, Jesus.
            In math, we have moved on to adding and subtracting three-digit numbers. Most of the children are doing very well with this concept. A few are still working at recognizing when they need to regroup. Please 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.
            On Wednesday, April 24th, the second grade classes will go to Lutheran High School South to present a chapel service.  We will leave at 10:00 and be back by 11:15.  Some of the students in our class volunteered for speaking parts.  They received copies of the script today.  If possible, we would like the students to memorize their parts, or at least be extremely familiar with them so that they can say the words confidently.  
            Next week is our operetta week.  We will have rehearsals each day.  On Thursday (the 25th), there will be a dress rehearsal at 1:30 p.m. (Grandparents and others are welcome to join us for the dress rehearsal).  “Oh Chicken of Little Faith” will be presented by grades one through four on Thursday evening, April 25th at 7:00.  The students should come to the classrooms at 6:45 p.m.  Before that time they are to stay with their parents.
            We do not have school on Good Friday or on Easter Monday. I hope that your family has a wonderful Easter!                
                                                           
Yours in Christ,
Janet Leet
