Notes
I
love the spring when I can see leaves appearing on the trees. The leaf is sometimes called the chemical lab
of the tree. The process of making food
by the leaf is baffling. God has many
mysteries in His creation. Like, how can
He love all of us so much? The leaf is
attached to the tree for one purpose – that of supplying food to the
plant. We exist for one reason – to act
as the Spirit’s tool for spreading the Gospel.
Leaves perspire when the day is hot.
The Christian can throw off kindness, meekness, gentleness, etc. Leaves must have sunshine. They are arranged on the tree so that every
leaf will be reached by the sun’s light.
We should not let anything get in the way of receiving the Gospel
Light. Leaves come in different sizes
and shapes as verified by our biggest leaf contest last year. God’s people are different from one another,
also. I know when it is fall because I
can see the trees starting to scatter their leaves. The leaves are here for a season. We, as Christians, are here only a “season”
until God calls us to be with Him in His home.

Classroom information
Mrs. Schulte (Pre-2)
We were 'flying
high' this week as we enjoyed our theme about birds and kites. We shared
the Bible Lesson about the First Pentecost by wearing flame hats as we read the
story. During Art we made pine cone bird feeders, and turned our letter V
into a Vase filled with lovely spring flowers. We shared a silly story
titled "The ChimpanSNEEZE" by Aaron Zenz. We ended our day
helping Mrs. Schulte fly our class kite outdoors.
Mrs. Frey (Pre-3,4)
Preschool
is learning letter R for recycle. We will discuss the 3R’s: reduce, reuse,
recycle. 3’s will create drums out of recycled cans. 4’s will create robots out
of recycled cardboard. Both classes will read The Lorax. In Bible Time both
classes will learn about the gift of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost.
Mrs.
Reynolds (PK)
This week preschool is learning about
shapes and sorting them. We will be looking at the letter O as we study shapes
including our shape of the month ovals. We will also be learning about plant
grow and the things plants need to grow. We will read about the life cycle of
plants and the different things that grow in gardens. In Bible we will learn
about the apostles and their role in the Bible after Jesus' ascendance into
heaven. We will be having a special snack at the end of the week that will
be made of shapes that we will sort into different categories. It is sure to be
a tasty and educational treat.
Mrs.
Sherman (K)
During Bible
time, the boys and girls will hear of Jesus ascending to
heaven. Math time will be spent reviewing telling time, exchanging coins
and showing place value with bundles of craft sticks. As Kindergarten
celebrates Earth Day, they continue to learn about recycling and ways to care
for the earth. Kindergarten will complete a landfill experiment and
create Earth Day crafts. The full day students will practice telling time
as they go on a clock hunt. They will make a flip book titled I Love
the Earth!
Mrs.
Reisenbichler (1-2)
This week we
learned about Jesus' visit with Mary and Martha and the Widow's mite.
These lessons are about service, giving, and putting Jesus first. I feel
so blessed to help children learn these Bible truths and to remind myself of
what I must put first in my life. Our studies of Native Americans
continues in first grade. The children are writing about each group as
they learn about them. Their writings are very impressive. Second
graders will finish their unit on the Chalkbox Kid this week. In
math, the first graders are working with double digit addition and subtraction
while the second graders refine their skills in this area.
Mrs. Mayo (3-4)
In religion we will finish the account
of Solomon building the temple and then go on to a battle of the Gods - God vs.
the Baal. In reading we will finish
reading The Missing 'Gator of Gumbo Limbo. We will then work on
some character studies. In grammar we are working on plural nouns and
possessives - so many rules and so many exceptions! In math, the 3rd
graders will be multiplying multi-digit numbers and then work with positive and
negative numbers. The 4th graders will work with converting fractions to
decimals to percents. In social studies, we will learn about the many
kinds of productive resouces. In science we will learn about dinosaurs.
Mr.
Postenrieder (5-6)
In
our Bible time this week we looked at the church year and practiced for our
chapel presentation on April 29th. In 5th grade math we
worked with pan balance problems and practiced our division and order of
operations. In 6th grade math we took our 17th test. We
also worked with measuring turns. In our Language Arts time we continued
writing a story about the life of a gumball. We continued to work with
character and theme. In Social Studies we looked at the countries of Central
and North Asia. In Science we continued our study of plate tectonics focusing
on faults. In Spelling we studied the Latin roots: spect and port.
Mr. Mayo (7,8)
In History,
we’re finishing up our unit on the areas surrounding the United States, and our
relationships with them. In Literature,
we’re reading essays from both sides of the “Whoever dies with the most toys
wins” philosophy. We’re also discussing
how those attitudes about consumerism are affected by our Christian
values. Is it hard to be “in it, but not
of it”?
Mr. Reisenbichler (7-8)
In religion we are studying death. In 7th grade math the students are translating
English into math and bisecting angles. In 8th grade math we are calculating
compound interest and geometric probability.
In science we are learning about polymers. The students are building bridges in STEM.
