Today we sent home an

activity book from the

grant program. We hope

that your child enjoys

using it over vacation.

We have added two

more sight word songs

this week: is and you.

Please help your child

notice thee new words

as you read together.

Jesus Time

Hallelujah is the

message of Easter.

Jesus rose from the

dead. He defeated

S a t a n a n d h a s

conquered the grave.

Jesus took our sins with

Him to the cross. We

have the assurance that

we will live with Him

eternally. Praise the

Lord. Happy Easter.

In 3K we were excited to

get to bring home our

“mock” stain glass projects

to hang up at home for

Easter. With Easter quickly

approaching we talked this

week about ovals. We also

spent time reading some fun

Easter stories. During Jesus

time, we talked about the

true meaning of Easter. We

are really excited to have

some time off from school

to celebrate Easter with our

families. In Kindergarten,

we took our achievement

tests this week. We worked

hard this week on our tests

and are excited to have

spring break. We will not

have homework over break.

We are really excited to be

bringing our “mock” stain

glass projects home to hang

up (there is a suction cup

hanger attached for easy

hanging). During Jesus time,

we talked about the

importance of taking time

during our busy lives to

listen to God’s Word. We

sing on Sunday during the

8am service. Enjoy time with

your families over spring

break. Happy Easter!!!

Holy Week was our focus in

Religion; from Palm Sunday,

Jesus’ washing the Disciple’s

feet, His Last Supper (Holy

Communion), Peter denying

even knowing Jesus, Jesus’

death on the cross to take

away our sin, and Jesus Rises

from the dead. Our Savior is

Alive! He did not stay dead!

So, when we die, we will not

stay dead, but will go to be

with Him in heave! Praise the

Lord! Math is fun for second

grade; learning multiplication:

0, 1, 2, 5, 10, 100; adding and

subtracting three digit

numbers, and counting

quarters. First grade is

learning to count nickels,

symmetry, and lots of time.

This week has been saturated

with Achievement Testing, so

other subjects will be picked

up after Spring Break!. We are

in the middle of our Solar

System Unit. We are learning

many fun facts from the nasa

site on the smart board! Thank

you to the parents who

supplied items for our Easter

Party! Mrs. Mosier, Mrs. Mehn,

Mr. Resop, Mrs. Trochinski,

and Mrs. Herbst. Thank you all

very much! Have a very

blessed Holy Week!

April is National Poetry

Month. The class has

s t a r t e d w r i t i n g

different kinds of

poems. This week we

wrote Ha iku and

Acrostic poems. Our

Haiku poems were on the

topic of spring and the

acrostic theme was

EASTER.

See all the poems on

page 11!

A Bless Easter and

happy spring break to all!

We have been busy with

achievement tests this

week, so our schedule

has been a little turned

around.

The students were

assigned lesson #106

today in math class.

Test #20 came home

for signatures

We finished our book,

The Mystery of the

Cupboard, in reading

class. We have taken

the reading practice,

vocabulary, and literacy

tests in AR.

The students organized

a small Easter party

today.

Have a wonderful

Easter Break and

celebrate His glorious

resurrection.

With achievement

tests this week, class

time was limited. We

finished a health

chapter. We are also

reading through the

last chapter on the

South Amer ican

countries. When we

return from Easter

break we will review

and test on our

language chapter.

Have a blessed

Easter!
