Classroom information
Mrs. Schulte (Pre-2)
This week we had a "Wet and Wild Day at
the Beach". We shared some fun books about the beach. We
played with some beach sand during our outdoor time and played games with our
beach balls that had us moovin' and groovin'. Later in Bible Time, we
shared the story of "A Boy Named Timothy" and sang songs and made
crafts about putting on the Full Armor of God. We ended the day
with the 3 year-old preschool class learning about bikes and bike safety.
Mrs. Frey (Pre-3,4)
Preschool
is learning about life on the farm this week! 3’s will create handprint rooster
art and muddy pigs. 4’s will create horse art and bubble print sheep art. 4’s
also have a special bike day this week. We will read Duck on a Bike,
learn about bike safety, and enjoy riding bikes in a section of the parking
lot. In Bible Time 3’s will learn about Timothy and his mother and grandmother,
and 4’s will learn about Paul’s change. The Holy Spirit makes your life new!
Mrs.
Reynolds (PK)
Pre-K is reviewing the alphabet the
last few weeks of school. This week we are reviewing Z, A, B,C,D,E,F,G, and H.
We will discuss what sounds these letter make and list words that begin with
each letter. The student have been working on a letter book where they are
drawing pictures for each letter we will be working on those this week as well.
Bike Day is this Wednesday! Students will get to bring their bikes to school,
ride through and obstacle course, learn about bike safety and eat popsicles for
snack. We have a very exciting and fun week planned in Pre-K!
Mrs.
Sherman (K)
Kindergarten's
rainforest adventure ends this week. They will wrap up the unit by
writing facts about the rainforest. For the remainder of the school year,
the class will explore maps, their state and country. During math, the boys and
girls will complete rainforest subtraction and review skip counting, time and
money. At Bible time, they heard the account of Philip and the
Ethiopian. God makes us His children as the
Holy Spirit works in us through his Word and in Baptism just as He did with the
man from Ethiopia. The full day Kindergarteners will play several math
and sight word games. They will draw and paint a lighthouse after reading
The Lighthouse Children.
Mrs.
Reisenbichler (1-2)
What a joy to
teach the children about Jesus' ascension into heaven and the pentecost.
In math, we have started our year end review units. Several children have
earned certificates of excellence from Xtra Math and many have earned medals in
IXL Math. In language arts, the second graders learned to take two column
notes and fill in a content chart. The first graders are reading a book
entitled Cleversticks. During this unit they will review
contractions, ABC order, syllabication, and much more. In science, our
unit is on the food web.
Mrs. Mayo (3-4)
In religion, we'll go over the account
of Jonah. In reading, we continue reading James and the Giant Peach.
In math, the 3rd graders will work with polyhedrons and explore congruence,
segments, and decimals. The 4th graders will have fun working with
transparent mirrors and learn about lines of reflection. In social
studies we'll learn about rights and responsibilities of citizens. In
science we'll learn how we share the earth. We're finishing our
spelling books this week, which lets us know the year is almost over!
Mr.
Postenrieder (5-6)
In
our Bible time this week we looked the Means of Grace with an emphasis on
baptism. In 5th grade math we
reviewed geometric solids and worked with volume. In 6th grade math we took our 19th
test. We also worked with fractions, decimals, and percents as well as
integers. In our Language Arts time we to look at mood, tone, and style. We
also continued to build our vocabulary. In Social Studies we studied Australia
and the islands of the Pacific. In Science we worked the flower beds and
planted flowers. We also checked our bluebird houses. In Spelling we studied
the Latin roots: ject, man, and cred.
Mr. Mayo (7,8)
In History,
we’ve learned about the major events of World War I, the Great War, some
thought The War to End All Wars. We
discussed how that worked out, historically.
We’re learning about the Armistice, whether it was fair, and what it had
to do with the start of the Second World War.
In Literature, we read a piece about the events of the Democratic
National Convention in Chicago, in 1968. It’s odd teaching about something I
witnessed as a teenager on television!
Mr. Reisenbichler (7-8)
In religion we are studying death. In 7th grade math the students are calculating
compound interest, working with the scale factor in 3-D solids, and dividing in
scientific notation. In 8th grade math we are studying
consumer interest. In science we are learning
about ceramics and glass. The students
are building a roller coaster in STEM.
