Notes – Our New Teacher
Lisa
Rhonemus is a daughter of the congregation who grew up on a hog farm 20 minutes
south of Wilmington, Ohio. She attended Lynchburg-Clay High School where
she was involved in band, FFA, 4-H, National Honor Society, Envirothon,
basketball, track, and soccer. After high school Ms. Rhonemus headed up
to Ann Arbor, Michigan where she attended Concordia University. During
college she stayed active by playing soccer for two years, building stages,
acting, working with New Crew Youth Ministry, and participating in Wind
Ensemble, Percussion Ensemble, and Pep Band. Ms. Rhonemus also enjoyed
working at a YMCA summer camp for five years as a counselor, Assisant Summer
Camp Director, and Waterfront Director. Her love of camp would
eventually lead her into the classroom where she is joining us in the second
grade while also teaching 7th and 8th grade science.
Important Dates to Know
7 No School – Labor Day
8 Preschool starts
Oct. 23 Walk-a-thon
September tuition is now
due
Facebook and Principal’s
Blog
St. Mark’s has a Facebook page. If you wish to be “friends”, search for St
Mark’s Lutheran School in Milford.
Several times a week, pictures are posted. I have a blog that I invite you to
bookmark. A new blog is written every
day I am in school. The address is above
and/or on the school’s web site.
Medical Forms
Medical forms are now due in the
office. If you are in kindergarten or 7th
grade, that means you are due for at least one new shot. Any other student whose did not receive any
new shots since last year, does not have to turn in a medical form.
Yearbooks
The 2014-15 yearbook is now
available. If you preordered one, you
may go to the office for your copy. If
you wish to purchase one or more, please pay the office $12/book.
Epistle News
The Principal’s Epistle will always be
published on Wednesdays that school is in session. The first two weeks, everyone will receive a
hard copy. If you wish a hard copy
starting in September, please notify the office. Otherwise, the Epistle will be emailed, made
available on my blog, and accessible on our school’s web page.
Box Tops for Education
Welcome
back to school! I pray that all of our
students will have a wonderful God Blessed School Year! Once again we are collecting Box Top$ for
Education. Clip and send your Box Top$
to school with your child(ren) each week and have your child place the Box Top$
in their classroom collection bag or container.
Each Wednesday when I am at the school, I will collect them and take
care of sending them in before each deadline.
Our first deadline will be Sept. 23rd.
With
this first collection we are going to have a contest to see which classroom can
collect the most Box Top$ per student.
That classroom will receive a special treat. Our winners last year were the 7th
& 8th grade room and the Two Year classroom. I hope they all enjoyed their ice cream
treat.
A
list of the products that you will find Box Top$ on will be by the school
entrance and in the Church Narthex area. Watch for BONUS points on your grocery
receipt and in the newspaper when they have special promotions. Be sure to ask grandmas and grandpas, aunts
and uncles, and friends to save their Box Top$ for you and St. Mark’s Lutheran
School. It is helpful if you would trim
the Box Tops on the designated line around the Box Top$. Gil and Judi Schepmann, coordinators.
Lunch Room Helpers Needed
Over the last 3 years St. Mark’s has
been able to offer a hot lunch as an option for students. Helpers are needed to make this happen smoothly
again this year. If one or two could
volunteer to help on Wednesdays, it would be much appreciated.
Happy Birthday

Classroom information
Mrs.
Sherman (K)
The
Kindergarten boys and girls are busy little bees, working their way through the
alphabet, adding a letter each day. They are also matching rhymes,
practicing holding a pencil correctly, exploring literacy and math
centers. At Bible time, they continue to hear about God's creation as
they focus on Adam and Eve. They are also learning new Bible songs
each week. The full day students are studying several nursery rhymes this
week. They will compile a book of some of their favorite rhymes.
They are reading color words as they play "Rainbow Row Bingo",
making pattern fish and sorting Jack's and Jill's shape buckets.
Mrs.
Reisenbichler (1)
This week in Jesus Time, we
learned about God's grace through the flood and from Abram, a man of
faith. Our reading instruction increased this week as we focused on
/a/words, learned about nouns, and made maps to help us
with writing. In science, we learned more about the
skunk's habitat, diet, and protection. Our days are full of activity
and learning. I am looking for a Tuesday and Friday helper. If you
are available from at least 9:30 - 10:30 let me know. I would welcome
your help at math stations.
Ms.
Rhonemus (2)
As we begin
our second full week of school the second graders dove into science by starting
a banana experiment to see if different storage methods will impact the
ripening of a banana. In math we are continued to work with time, money, and
patterns found in our number grids. This week in reading we finished up with
"Henry and Mudge" while learning about the sequence of a story and
parts of a sentence. In art we continued to play with basic color theory
while painting with primary colors. Seventh
and Eighth grader had a prosthetic hand tournament and then wrapped up Unit one
by learning about the epidermis.
Mrs. Mayo (3-4)
The class is doing a great job of
getting their work done and following class routines. Last week we
welcomed our class pet, a dwarf robo hamster we named Snowball. (Can you guess
what color she is?) This week in religion we will studied the account of
Daniel in the lions' den and will use his strong belief in God as an example in
our life. We began the book, Helen Keller, and did an exercise to see
what it was like to be blind, mute, and hearing impaired. In social
studies we learned about Vermont and Massachusetts. In science we are
continuing to research bees. In math, the 3rd graders worked on
equivalent names for numbers, the language of probability, finding differences,
counting money, and using the calculator. The 4th graders learned how to
use compasses to make circles and polygons.
Mr. Postenrieder (5-6)
In our Bible
time we looked at the flood and Tower of Babel. We also began to go through the
Beatitudes to see how they relate to our “Bee Attitude” theme. In 6th
grade math we worked fractional parts, lines, segments, rays and perimeter. In
5th grade math we worked on divisibility, prime, composite, and
square numbers. In Social Studies we continued to latitude and longitude and
other tools geographers use. In Language Arts we researched the setting of the
story we are reading. The setting is in Oklahoma and the story is Summer of the Monkeys. In our science
time we looked at the scientific method and began to look at projects for the
Science Fair. We also looked at opportunities in the field of science. Of
course we learned science is the study of God’s creation.
Mr. Mayo (7,8)
In history
we’re learning about how Europe was before trans-Atlantic travel. We’ll go back to the Middle Ages, and into
the Renaissance, and find out why people wanted to venture out into the unknown
in search of fortune. We also get to
study some of the finest art ever made.
Florence was such an important city to the world at that time! It’s hard to imagine that a city of just
60,000 became the center of the known world.
Mr. Reisenbichler (7-8)
In religion we are studying God’s
amazing grace. In 7th grade
math the students are adding, subtracting, and multiplying fractions. In 8th grade math we are calculating
volume and area and listing equivalent fractions. The students are building a buoyant structure
in STEM.
