13.86 Box Tops per student and grades 1 and 2 are in third place. Today the
contest ends but there are Box Tops that need to be counted. A final report will be in the newsletter next

Classroom information
Mrs. Schulte (Pre-2)
This week our class
come to school in our Pajamas as we continued to enjoy our Camping theme by
"Sleeping Under the Stars". We read the book The Napping House
by Audrey Wood, and talked about what goes on at night time. In Art, we
made shadow puppets, and painted our Letter P with pompoms. During Bible
Time, we shared the story of Easter and used props to make the story come
alive. During Center Time, we enjoyed our Night Sky reading nook filled
with glow in the dark stars and fun flashlights. We ended the day by
singing and dancing to our new favorite song, He is Risen!
Mrs. Frey (Pre-3,4)
Preschool is studying letter K for kites this week! We are also excited
to learn about the signs of Spring. 3’s will create kite scenes and discuss how
we know Spring is on its way. 4’s will discuss animals in spring and make bird
nests. Both classes will read Spring and Mouse’s First Spring. In
Bible Time students will hear of God’s greatest gift to us: the sacrifice of
His Son on the cross to take away our sins. Jesus suffered and died for us on
that Good Friday.
Mrs.
Reynolds (PK)
This week we are focusing on the
letter R. R is for rainbow! We will be learning about rainbows and the color
wheel. We will discuss the meaning of the rainbow and how it is God's promise
to us that He will never again destroy the earth with water. We have two fun
science experiments this week. First we will use paper towels and food coloring
for a color blending experiment. This will show us how different colors
can blend together to create new colors! Then we will be creating a rainbow in
a jar out of various kitchen ingredients. We will discuss that
we are quickly moving into the season of Spring and what that means. As
well as playing educational games and doing math puzzles to get us
thinking and strategizing!
Mrs.
Sherman (K)
Kindergarten
excitedly awaits spring as they enjoyed the warmer temperatures! In
science, they sorted living and nonliving objects and identified the needs
of living things. During math, the class made a chart of the
characteristics of solid shapes and learned a poem to remember the shape
names. During reading workshop, the class searched for words and vowel
sounds in the sensory bins and also wrote about their favorite Eric Carle
book. Kindergarten had a surprise visitor. Lucky the
Leprechaun and his friends snuck into the classroom and shrunk hats that the
boys and girls had made. The leprechauns did not leave any gold but gave
the children pieces of a rainbow! At Bible time, the class heard
about the beginning of Holy week as Jesus entered Jerusalem and prayed in
the garden. The full day students did leprechaun addition with
coins and made addition towers. They enjoyed making predictions
and recognizing details found in illustrations but not in the text as
the class studied the book, Jamie O'Rourke and the Big Potato.
Mrs.
Reisenbichler (1-2)
This week in
Jesus Time, the children learned about Jesus in the Garden of
Gethsemane. In math, the first graders learned to make change and
the second graders worked with units of capacity and weight. Our
science lessons were about physical and chemical changes of
matter. On St. Patrick's Day we learned the truth about St.
Patrick. He was a very effective missionary to the people of
Ireland. This is just a snapshot of what we learned this week.
Mrs. Mayo (3-4)
In religion we will be working on some
projects this week. We are glad that we're taking our last PARCC test
this week and we can get back to our regular schedule. In math, the 3rd
graders are finishing a chapter and taking a test on multiplication. The
4th graders will work with probability, fractions, and multiplying fractions by
whole numbers. In social studies we will work on our map skills
while learning some towns in Ohio. In science we will learn how
scientists classify living things into kingdoms. We'll also be talking
about different habitats. In Spanish we will be learning family words
this week.
Mr.
Postenrieder (5-6)
In
our Bible time this week we continued to look at when we should pray as well as
why we should pray. The lessons on prayer are also a look at our Lord’s Prayer.
In 5th grade math we worked with percents, relationships between the
fraction and the whole, fraction division, and we enjoyed our Unit 8
test!. In 6th grade math we
worked with fractions, capacity, area of triangles, and ratio. In our Language
Arts time we worked with idioms. We also built our vocabulary through our story
about old westerns. In Social Studies we looked at the climate and vegetation
of East Asia. In Science we created models of the layers of Earth. In Spelling
we studied the prefixes pre-, fore-. post-, and after-.
Mr. Mayo (7-8)
We’re
finishing our History unit, finding that women got the right to vote in
1920. We are amazed that less than 100
years ago, women could not vote. It
boggled our minds a bit to find out that at one time John D. Rockefeller’s
wealth was equal to 1% of the GDP of the United States! When Andrew Carnegie sold his steel company,
he sold it for more than the entire budget of the U.S. at that time! In Literature, we’re discussing speeches and
the biggest differences in reading them and seeing them delivered. We’re learning the role TV plays in getting
points across regardless of whether we agree with the point or not.
Mr. Reisenbichler (7-8)
In religion we will study lesser known
accounts in God’s Word. In 7th
grade math the students are multiplying monomials, converting units within
rates, and calculating interior angle of polygons. They will also be taking the PARCC math test. In 8th grade math we are studying the
scales of maps, proportional equations, and solving two equations for one
unknown. In science we are learning about
the periodic table. The students are building
parachutes in STEM. We are taking 2 of the PARCC tests this week.
