Thoughts
The 100th day of school celebration was a
splendid success because of Student Council’s leadership. Eleven activities or stations were planned,
set-up, supervised, and cleaned up well.
The students always enjoy a spirit lifter during this time of the year. Yes, it took one hour away from learning time
– but did it? Maybe they learned how to
operate within a group setting, how to work as a team, how to display
Christ-like attitudes, and how to succeed at something that they previously
didn’t realize they could achieve success.
Way to go Student Council!

Winter Closings and

Watch you email, wcpo.com, or channel
9 on the news for St. Mark’s Lutheran delays or closings. We follow Milford’s lead on this matter.
Science Fair
Although the Science Fair isn’t until
March 18, I wanted to let parents know that a display board can be purchased
for $3 at the school. I have seen some
boards in local stores for over $8, so I purchased a quantity for a reduced
price. Also, is anyone knows of a
willing judge, please let the office know.

Classroom information
Mrs. Frey
(P-3 & P-4)
F
is for Feelings! Both classes will read How Are You Peeling? to identify
different feelings that they have experienced. We will list these feelings and
discuss what to do if negative feelings arise. 3’s will create “my many faces”
to show these emotions and “what makes me smile” to highlight happiness. 4’s
will learn about the color blue as a representation of sadness in a watercolor
relief painting. They will also create a mood meter. In Bible Time 3’s will
hear the account of the widow’s mite, and 4’s will hear the account of Jesus
and Zacchaeus. Both the widow and Zacchaeus were criticized by society, but
Jesus showed them compassion and forgiveness.
Mrs.
Reynolds (PK & P-2)
This week Pre-K is learning the letter V. We
are making Valentines for our parents, practicing writing letters to friends,
and sorting mail in our post office center by letter. In Bible we are talking
about how Jesus helped Peter catch fish. We are working on the concept of
simple addition and 1-1 number correspondence for math. Pre-2 is having their Valentines Day party
this Friday which will take up most of our day but before we party we are going
to talk about God's love and make valentines for our friends.
Mrs.
Sherman (K)
Kindergarten
celebrated the 100th day on Monday. They enjoyed minute to win it games
with the school. They also made crowns with 100 stars, a 100 piece snack
and wrote about being 100 years old. In science, they completed their study of
solids, liquids, and gases with an edible experiment...yum! The class
shopped with dimes, participated in math centers and described shapes by
attributes during math time. As the boys and girls heard the account of
Jesus calming the storm, they learned that they can
give their fears to God in prayer, trusting that He can bring peace and comfort.
The full day students completed The Snowy Day book study by
using puffy paint to create tracks in the snow just as Peter did. They
also added the room, played "Before and After Boogie" with numbers
and "Marshmallow Match" to identify CVC words.
Mrs.
Reisenbichler (1)
This week we celebrated the 100th day
of school. If you have a chance, take a look at our special hats on the
web-site. In Jesus Time, we learned about Nicodemus. He shows us
that when we have questions, we need to ask and seek answers from the
Master. We learned to measure in centimeters this week in math and
counted quarters. In science, the children finished the experimental
portion of their Science Fair projects, and we started a unit on Living
Things. Our winter stories are starting to take shape.
Ms. Rhonemus (2)
Our 100th day
of school was on Monday so we celebrated with some activities put together by
student council. We continued the festivities in our classroom by reading
100 books as a class. On Tuesday we read a book called "Punxutawney
Phyllis" in honor of Groundhog day we wrote about what it would be like if
we were groundhogs. The rest of the week we read about Helen Keller and
Alexander Graham Bell while focusing on the long O sound. In math we are
finishing up chapter 6 which is on multi digit addition and we are dipping our
toes into multiplication and division. In seventh and eighth grade we are
learning about the solar system.
Mrs. Mayo (3-4)
We began the
week celebrating the 100th day of school by having a pajama day. We came
in our pjs and spent the day on the floor in our sleeping bags. We had a
read-a-thon to try to read 100 books that day, played Minute-to-Win-It games
with the student body, and played some 100 day math games. In religion we
reviewed the 10 commandments and read about Jesus clearning the temple.
We also discussed worship and prayer. We continue to read Riding
Freedom while learning more about the west when it was being settled.
In grammar we continued to learn about adverbs that answered the questions when
and where. We did map work on the plains states in social studies.
In science, we studied the Earth, its place in the solar system, and how God
placed it exactly right for us to live on this wonderful planet. In math,
the 3rd graders worked with polyhedrons and then ended the week taking a
chapter test. The 4th graders worked on latitude, longitude, and division
before taking their chapter test.
Mr. Postenrieder (5-6)
In
our Bible time this week, we studied the Fall of Jericho, Deborah and Barak,
and Samson. In 5th math we
continued adding and subtracting negative numbers. We also enjoyed our Unit 7 test! In 6th math, we classified
quadrilaterals and worked with prime factorization. We also enjoyed our 12th
test. In our language arts time, we
continued to work with argument and persuasion as well as wrote a descriptive
paragraph. In social studies we
continued our study on the effect of history on the U.S. and Canada. In science we took a test over populations
and communities. We began to look into
ecosystems and biomes. In spelling we
studies words ending in –ive.
Mr. Mayo (7,8)
We had quite
a discussion of making movies out of books.
We understand that a film maker has only 2 hours or so to tell the
entire story, so parts have to be excluded, and different characters have to do
things sometimes. We’ve found the film
maker uses music to give a tone for the movie.
We were surprised that the film maker didn’t see the characters as we
did. We’ve just about completed our study
of the Constitution. A test is looming
on the horizon.
Mr. Reisenbichler (7-8)
In religion we are discussing conflict
resolution. In 7th grade math
the students are simplifying complex fractions and graphing inequalities. In 8th grade math we are calculating
the volume of cylinders and solving inequalities with negative terms. The students are testing a tire for raining
conditions in STEM.
