First Day Friends

Dear Parents,


Please note that we have no school on Monday, February 23. Day Care will be available. We have a teacher/pastor circuit meeting to attend.

I've attached some information about our celebration of Lutheran Schools Week. Note that there will be a field trip on Wednesday and there is a permission form to complete. Your child also has some information about the annual Fine Arts Festival. All students are expected to attend. We are having a taco bar this year to raise money for the music program. If you would like to sing with choir or play an instrument with band, we would love to have you join us. Let us know and we will get you the music.

Students are learning about ancient China in history. The test over ancient India went very well! The students seem to enjoy learning more about these countries. We've begun a chapter on plant classification in science. Students combined what they learned in English class this week about the parts of a book with a review of some plant related books from our library. We said goodbye to our meal worms/dark-wing beetles this week. The students enjoyed watch their metamorphosis.

We discussed more about February's book report project, Living Wax Museum. Your child chose a book about someone from the Bible or from the Heroes of the Faith series. They will be making a poster about their person to display at school next week. I plan for them to “dress up” like their character and they will “come to life” for younger grades as they tell about themselves. They may need your help with some costume ideas. I don't want parents to purchase anything, just use items you have around the house...bathrobe, grandmother's dress, dad's old suit jacket etc. as the character may be. We will make the posters and practice the presentations here at school before Friday when they will be presented.


Grade cards will be given out March 2nd. Please sign the back and return them to school.


God's blessings on your week.
