November 17, 2008          Knowing Jesus, Growing in Faith, Serving God’s Children
Dear Parents,
 
            Are you ready for another busy week? We are!
            We are working with “Kk” this week. At home have fun encouraging the use of all letters. Have your child write little notes to you, label things with post it notes, or try some fun ways to use magnetic letters. 
            Our Bible lessons are about the three men in the fiery furnace. We will learn that God protects us and gives us strength to live for Jesus. Our Bible verse is Psalm 121:8 “The Lord will watch over your coming and going both now and forevermore.” As we learn about the first Thanksgiving this week I find it so easy to integrate our faith into these lessons. God gave the Pilgrims strength for all the difficult times they faced, and they found the time to thank Him! We have some great picture books to help us imagine what it was like on the Mayflower and at Plymouth Plantation. This month our chapel offering goes to help the Meals on Wheels program in Rapid City.
        Thank you to those who came to our Swim Night! We sure had fun!
            In gym class Mrs. Winjue has them integrating their math skills with Thanksgiving ball games! 
            Please keep working on November’s Book It. I’ve been hearing about some of their favorite stories. As we read books together at school this month we are learning to ask questions as we read. This helps us understand what is happening. We find that many of our questions are answered as we continue the book, but that some aren’t. We learn that some answers can be inferred, based on what information we’ve been given. In the Three Bears, we infer that Goldilocks learned her lesson and probably wouldn’t go in a house again without being invited! When you read together, don’t be afraid to think out loud and ask questions, too.
            Grandparent’s Day is next Wednesday, November 26th! Grandparents or special friends are invited to come at 8:15AM to go with us to chapel, and then stay for a short preschool, Kindergarten presentation. Then we will head back to our room and grandparents can come, too. School will be dismissed at 11:15AM. There will be no lunch or daycare. There is also no school this Thursday and Friday for Thanksgiving.
        Picture retake day is Tuesday, Nov. 18h. If you want your child’s pictures retaken please send the package back with them.
        Mark Sunday afternoon, Dec. 7th, on your calendar. This is the evening of our Christmas service, “The Stable Where Jesus Was Born”. The children have been working very hard on their parts. 
         Our worship services for Thanksgiving are Wednesday night, November 26th at 7:00pm and Thursday morning, November 27th at 10:00am.
          The Festival of Lights Parade is November 29th at 6:00PM. Be sure to look for Zion’s float!
 
           
            God’s blessings,
 
     Sue Casey

NOTES FROM THE PRINCIPAL’S OFFICE

MARCH, 2008

 

This month we celebrate Lutheran Schools Week.  The schedule of events is listed on the back of this note. 

For Lutheran School’s Week, on Thursday, March 8, we will again be combining Cookies for Christians and our Literature Fair together from 3-6PM.  Parents have a great opportunity to stop in when picking up their children from school, to have their “cookie” and tour the classrooms which will all have displays for the Literature Fair.  Parents in preschool through grade 2 who have ordered copies of their children’s class books from Student Treasures may pick them up from the classroom; children in grades 3-5 may pick up their free copy and any copies they have purchased of their books from Student Treasures that day also.  We hope to see all of our parents on Thursday!

 

A FEW NOTES

·        The Board of Christian Education will be looking at staffing for the 2008-2009 school year.  Mrs. Casey will not be returning for the 2008-2009 school year…also the Board will be considering a teacher for the half day third grade and half day general educator position that was approved by the Voters in January. 

·        Thanks to all of our parents who make sure their children have proper shoes for PE on Mondays and Fridays.  A few of our students have been choosing not to wear the proper shoes, so they will not be allowed to participate in the planned activity and thus reflect in the PE grade.  This is being done for safety reasons and also to help instill responsibility, being prepared for class.

·        Please remember to continue to save the various items for our school:  Campbells Labels for Education, Prairie Market and Family Thrift receipts, Kemps and Land O Lakes proofs of purchase and used ink cartridges.  The school uses the credits and checks from these items to purchase PE, recess, and classroom materials.

·        New Horizons Band will be here at 9AM on Thursday, March 13 in the Multipurpose Room…parents, grandparents and friends are invited to attend this special concert.
