Notes
Would you like your child (ren) to be more
responsible, hardworking, and persistent?
You can work as a family to help your youngster develop these important
traits. You can take a group approach –
thinking of themselves as a team player can encourage your child to be
responsible. Explain that your family
operates as a team. Everyone must play a
part to get things done. Your child
probably has regular chores to do. You
can motivate them to work extra hard by placing “want ads” on the refrigerator. Choose a challenging job, and offer a
benefit. Working toward small goals can
make it easier to complete a big task.
Perhaps your family room needs a fresh coat of paint. Write down the steps (move furniture and lay
down drop cloths, prepare walls, roll paint on walls, paint trim). Tell your child you’ll take a fun break after
each step is done (go to the playground, take a bike ride, go hiking, etc.).

Classroom information
Mrs. Schulte (Pre-2)
This week we began the day "Around
Town" sharing the story It Looked Like Spilt Milk by Charles
Shaw. The children then made their own folded paint print in Art.
They later filled their bubble Letter L with Lego stamping. Later we
shared the Bible story of "David and Goliath", and illustrated the
story in a big way by shooting marshmallows at the giant Goliath. We
ended the day celebrating Valentine's Day with a class party filled with great
snacks, games, and crafts.
Mrs. Frey
(Pre-3,4)
V
is for Valentine! In this short week 3’s will meet the dentist for Dental
Health month, create valentines for their families, and have a class party on
Thursday. AM 4’s will have a special valentine sign language presentation and
their class party on Wednesday. Both classes will make valentines boxes, and
the 4’s AM class will create theirs with their chapel buddies. In Bible Time
3’s will hear the parable of the Good Samaritan, which reminds us to show mercy
to others. 4’s will hear of Jesus’ visit with Mary and Martha. Mary’s devotion
to sit and listen to Jesus shows us that her priorities are in order.
Mrs.
Reynolds (PK)
This week Pre-K is celebrating
Valentines Day! We will be having our party Thursday at 2pm! In the spirit of
love we will be talking about God's love for us and how he showed us how much
he truly loves us by sending Jesus to die for our sins! We will also be
learning about the letter V, practicing putting letters in alphabetical order
and making a few fun valentine crafts! We will also be discussing dental
hygiene a bit further as we will be visited by a local dentist!
Mrs.
Sherman (K)
Kindergarten
celebrates dental health week with a visit from a dentist, reading an emergent
reader about keeping teeth healthy and brushing away germs while
solve subtraction problems. They also celebrate Valentine's Day with a
party on Thursday. They continue studying senses as they focus on
taste. Will they be able to tell the difference between salt and sugar by
using sight and touch but not taste? The class is having fun with words as
they substitute beginning sounds to create new words and identify rhyming words
in word families. At Bible time, the boys and girls will hear the account
of Jesus blessing the children. Although they do not physically feel
Jesus, like the children did in the Bible, He is with them, holding them
close. The full day students rotate through literacy centers, "add
the room" and complete a Valentine addition craft. They are studying
Roses are Pink, Your Feet Really Stink! as they identify the
problem and solution and make predictions about the text.
Mrs.
Reisenbichler (1-2)
In Jesus
Time, we learned about Jesus healing paralyzed man. Second graders
started working with fractions in math while the first graders expanded their
ability to tell time. In science, we are learning about the three states
of matter. Second graders did a lot of writing and editing this
week. First graders are just about finished writing poems about
weather. First graders are researching elephants and zebras in class.
Mrs. Mayo (3-4)
During this Valentine Week, we thank
God for loving us! In religion we will be reading the account of Hannah
and Samuel. In reading, we will be finishing The Whipping Boy and
looking at more of the figurative language in the book. In social studies
we will learning about the frontier wars between the settlers and the Native
Americans. In science we will try to finish making our models of the
planets in our solar system. In math, the 3rd graders will begin a chapter on
multiplication while the 4th graders work with fractions and mixed
numbers. In Spanish, we will continue playing Body Word Bingo.
We'll end the week with a Valentine's party where we'll see who wins the
contest for our decorated Valentine boxes.
Mr. Postenrieder (5-6)
In
our Bible time this week we looked at how we can be disciples of Jesus and the
power of prayer. WE also began creating a bulletin board on prayer based on 1
Peter 5:7. In 5th grade math we worked with adding and subtracting
negative numbers. In 6th grade math we took our 12th test
and learned how to multiply mixed numbers. We also worked on reducing large
fractions through prime factorization. In our Language Arts time we continued
our study of bullying. In Social Studies we worked with the countries of South
Africa. In Science we completed our study of plants and began looking at the layers
of the Earth. In Spelling we added the suffixes
-able.
Mr. Mayo (7-8)
We start a
new unit in history – The Progressive Era.
During this time the role of government changed somewhat from what it
had been during the first century of our nation’s history. In my opinion, one of our greatest
presidents, Theodore Roosevelt, was given the office because of an assassin’s
bullet. He may never have made it to the
presidency without this “accident” of history.
God is good, no matter what is going on.
Mr. Reisenbichler (7-8)
In religion we will study lesser known
accounts in God’s Word. In 7th
grade math the students are studying complex fractions, percents, and
inequalities. In 8th grade
math we are studying volumes of prisms and cylinders, inequalities, and square
root products.. In science we are learning
about phases of matter. The students are
building and testing a well- insulated coat in STEM.
