Newsletter for the week of April 29th


April 29, 2019


Memory Work:
Repent and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.  Acts 2:38

Dear Parents,
What a busy, exciting week we had last week. Our chapel at Lutheran South went very well. Grandparents’ Day was very special. The Operetta was wonderful.  Now we are ready to finish the school year with lots of energy and activities.
What a busy month we have ahead of us! This Thursday is the National Day of Prayer.  We will meet with the other classes around the flagpole to share the Pledge of Allegiance, prayers and a song or two. 
Our last field trip will be on Monday, May 20th.  We are scheduled to take a class at the Missouri Botanical Gardens at 9:30.  We will leave school around 9:00.  After the class, there will be a little time to explore the gardens.  Then, weather permitting, we will go to Tilles Park in Brentwood for a picnic lunch and to enjoy their playground.  We hope to be back at school around 2:00 p.m.  We will need parents to go with us.  You could join us just for the morning at the gardens, for the whole trip or meet us at the park for lunch. 
Thanks to some who have sent in a favorite family recipe. I need each child to bring in a copy of a favorite family recipe that he/she really enjoys.  I would like to have these recipes this week. Feel free to send the recipe to me by email or a hard copy is fine, too. l will return the original copies to you in a few weeks.  Thanks! 
This week we will conclude our unit on Economics and move into the last science unit on plants and animals.  We are continuing to learn our capital cursive letters.  In math, we are working to understand the concepts of multiplication.  This week we will be becoming familiar with times four facts and drawing arrays to help us figure out the facts.
You are invited to join us next Wednesday (May 8th) for chapel as this is the day that our class will be leading the chapel service at 8:30. Following the service, we will have our author celebration!  During this time, the children will be sharing the writing pieces that they have completed over this year. It would be wonderful if each child could have an adult present for the celebration. (We should be finished by 10:30).
The last book orders for the year are coming home this week.  Any orders need to be returned to me or placed on line (www.scholastic.com, class code GL4JP) by next Thursday, May 9th.
I am sure that you read the news from Mr. Pawlitz that Mrs. Klug and I will not be teaching second grade next year.  I will be moving into the full time elementary principal position and Mrs. Klug hopes to be involved at CCLS in a way to be determined that allows her more family time.  Thank you for all of your love and support during this year. This will be a big change for both of us! The call committee is being formed and we will start looking for the next great second grade teacher for CCLS. 
Thanks for reading.  Have a great week!

Yours in Christ,
Janet Leet
