Thoughts
There are many ways parents can support their child’s
learning and school. Here are a few
ideas:
Ø Spend a few minutes every evening
looking over handouts your child brings home.
Fill out forms to return the next day.
Ø Tell your child’s teachers if you can
help them out at school or home.
Ø Make sure teachers know you appreciate
their efforts. From time to time, send a
thank-you or an email.
Ø Contact your child’s teacher
immediately if you see a problem.
Working together will help your child succeed.
Ø Attend conferences and school events
regularly.

student and close behind is 7 & 8 grades with 10 per

Thanks to everyone who did a great job of sending in Box Top$ that were
trimmed. Keep collecting! Contest ends March 23rd!

V
is for Valentine! In this short week we will celebrate God’s love for us,
create valentines for our families, and celebrate Valentine’s day with a class
party. In Bible Time 3’s will hear the parable of the Good Samaritan, which
reminds us to show mercy to others. 4’s will hear of Jesus’ visit with Mary and
Martha. Mary’s devotion to sit and listen to Jesus shows us that her priorities
are in order.
Mrs.
Reynolds (PK & P-2)
This week Pre-K is learning about healthy
eating! We are excited to play in our grocery center! We have been collecting
empty boxes and containers and now our shelves are stocked about our classroom
has become a grocery store! We are sorting healthy and non-healthy foods and
talking about how healthy foods help our bodies. We are dissecting fruits,
talking about their different parts and tasting them. Our vocabulary word this
week is "delicious" we will be talking about what we think is
delicious and drawing pictures for our journals. We are having a great week in
Pre-K!
Pre-2 doesn't
have class this week1
Mrs.
Sherman (K)
Kindergarten enjoyed heart themed
activities as they looked forward to Valentine's Day. They made an
addition craft based on the book, The Day It Rained Hearts, sorted and
graphed candy hearts, wrote Love Monster letters and identified activities that
keep their hearts healthy! At Bible time, they heard the account of Jesus
changing water into wine. The boys and girls know that Jesus cared enough to take care of our biggest need – the
need for forgiveness of sins. So, if Jesus cared enough to save them
from the punishment of their sins, they can trust Him to care
for their smaller problems too. The full day students rotated
through Valentine reading and math centers such as Love Notes (unscramble the
words), Sweet Treats Train (add the room) and Racing Hearts (counting
on)! They completed a book study, Roses Are Pink, Your Feet Really
Stink and identified the problems and solutions in the story.
Mrs.
Reisenbichler (1)
Our theme in Jesus Time this week was
Jesus Heals. Jesus healed the crippled man, his mother-in-law, and he
heals us spiritually and physically. The children learned about the
future tense, contractions, and writing in language arts. In science, we
wrote conclusions for our science fair projects and typed them besides learning
about living and non-living things. The children's math skills were
assessed this week covering time, counting money, and subtraction. Their
winter stories take a lot of time, but we have some awesome writers.
Ms. Rhonemus (2)
During our
short week the second graders have been working on number sense, basic
multiplication and division, as well as finding multiple numbers that add up to
the same number. We are also learning about safety from Officer Buckle
and Gloria which is one of the stories in our reading
curriculum. In addition to this we are also going to be reading and
learning about Presidents Lincoln and Washington since their birthdays are this
weekend. In seventh and eighth grade we are finishing up our chapter on
the solar system.
Mrs. Mayo (3-4)
In religion
we learned about prayer, starting with the Lord's prayer. In reading, we
finally finished Riding Freedom and were glad it had a happy
ending. We learned a lot about how women were treated in pioneer
days. In grammar we continued to learn about adverbs. Georgia was
the state we studied in social studies. In science we learned about
technology. We saw how technology has changed since Mrs. Mayo was in
college by watching a video about Steve Jobs. In math the 3rd graders
began a multiplication chapter while the 4th graders began a chapter on
fractions. We ended the short week with a Valentine party.
Mr. Postenrieder (5-6)
In
our Bible time this week we studied the lives of Deborah and Barak and Samson.
In 5th grade math we subtracted mixed numbers, and multiplied
fractions. In 6th grade math
we used prime factorization to reduce fractions, divided mixed numbers, worked
with complimentary and supplementary angles. In our Language Arts time we
continued to look at argument and persuasion. In Social Studies we continued
our study on the effect of history on the U.S. and Canada. In Science we
planted petunias and began to study ecosystems and biomes. In Spelling we
worked through Unit 20 on words ending with –ar and -er.
Mr. Mayo (7,8)
Every day for
the past few weeks I’ve been asking for someone (a different person every day)
to explain what the Great Compromise was.
I’ve told them it will be on the test, I’ve explained the detail I wish
to see in their answers, and we’ve had plenty of practice. I’m hoping everyone gets everything right on
that question. We’re reading selections from our Literature book, mostly
in the horror genre. Some of us learned
that Frankenstein was the name of the doctor, not the monster. It strikes me as funny that we think of
“playing God” when we create something new.
Some scientists must have not gotten the message.
Mr. Reisenbichler (7-8)
In religion we are discussing conflict
resolution. In 7th grade math
the students are estimating areas and studying transformations(not
transformers). In 8th grade
math we are transforming formulas and studying polynomials. The students are building a bird feeder in STEM.
