Thoughts
A large vocabulary can turn your child into a better
reader and writer. Try these everyday
ways to help them learn new words. Keep
your ears open. When you and your child
go places, point out words that people use.
Maybe a waiter describes an entrée or the dentist talks about
molars. Encourage your child to figure out
what they mean by the way they’re used.
Go beyond nouns. Help your child
add verbs and adjectives to their vocabulary.
Sports and games offer opportunities to use action words. Let your child hear you comment on the
softball that soars or the runner who sprints.
When they send thank-you notes or greeting cards, suggest descriptive
words.
An Epistle will not be published next week!

Classroom information
Mrs. Frey (P-3 & P-4)
Preschool
is studying letter K for kites this week! We are also excited to learn about
the signs of Spring. 3’s will create kite scenes and discuss how we know Spring
is on its way. 4’s will discuss animals in spring and make bird nests. Both
classes will read Spring and Mouse’s First Spring. In Bible Time
students will hear of God’s greatest gift to us: the sacrifice of His Son on
the cross to take away our sins. Jesus suffered and died for us on that Good
Friday. Easter is a special reminder of God’s love for us.
Mrs.
Reynolds (PK & P-2)
This week Pre-K is reading more Dr.
Seuss books. We are reading "The Lorax" and brainstorming what
we would do to help the Lorax save the animals or truffula trees. We have also
started reading chapter books during carpet time we are reading one chapter a
day and the kids cannot wait to see what will happen next! We are still
focusing on the letter D this week and practicing rhyming. In Bible we are
talking about Easter and the true meaning behind the holiday. It is a time to
remember Jesus and the sacrifice he made for us.
The Pre-2
class is having an Easter Party this week! We will also be looking at the real
easter story and making our S is for snake letter for our alphabet book!
Mrs.
Sherman (K)
During Bible time, Kindergarten
will learn about the beginning of Holy Week as they listen to the Bible
account of Jesus riding into Jerusalem. They will compare and sort 2D and
3D shapes during math. The class will also begin telling time to the
hour! The boys and girls will celebrate St. Patrick's day by decorating
hats for Lucky the Leprechaun and his friends. Will the mischievous and
magical Lucky do something in return? Perhaps a surprise will be waiting
for the class! Reading selections will center around music and how
musicians work together to create music. The class will identify digraphs
and vowel sounds for phonics time. The full day students will
read the book, Jamie O'Rourke and the Big Potato. They will
make inferences and predictions based on clues in the text. They also
enjoy exploring centers so this week some activities will include playing
digraph basketball, finding clover words, playing a St. Patrick's Day
subtraction game and Leprechaun I Spy.
Mrs.
Reisenbichler (1)
This week we learned about Peter's
denial of Jesus and Jesus before Pilate in our Jesus Time. In math,
the children practiced purchasing items at the school store and learned to make
change. These are lifetime skills that require a lot of
practice. In science, we started learning about
snakes. We made snake eye masks. We learned about
possessive pronouns and similes in language arts. Please check out
our winter stories on display in the school entry way.
Ms. Rhonemus (2)
This week in
second grade we have been reading poetry and fictional stories. We have
also been dabbling in figurative language by looking at similes and metaphors.
In math we are finishing up our chapter on fractions and we will be
starting to look at area and touching on measurement again. For social
studies we learned about a few very special inventors, our favorite one
invented chocolate chip cookies on accident. In writing we have been
focusing on adding detail to our stories and supporting our ideas with
details. Seventh and eighth graders are
learning about motion and forces.
Mrs. Mayo (3-4)
In religion,
we studied the account of Jesus being buried. We also discussed how we
can serve our Redeemer. In reading , we continued to read Snow Treasure
and learn how children helped save Norwegian gold from the Nazis. In grammar,
we worked with possessive and interrogative pronouns. In social
studies we learned about Oklahoma. We presented our science fair projects
to the class this week to get ready for the science fair. In math, the
3rd graders made equivalent fractions, compared fractions, and worked with
fractions in word problems. The 4th graders finished their fraction unit
and took a chapter test. They then worked on kitchen layouts.
Mr. Postenrieder (5-6)
In
our Bible time this week we studied the events leading up to Holy Week. In 5th
grade math we worked with volume and capacity. We also took our Unit 9
test. In 6th grade math we
worked with units of measure, volume, proportions, and order of operations. In
our Language Arts time we continued reading Which
Way Freedom? In Social Studies we continued power points on Central
America. In Science we presented our Science Fair projects and began to monitor
our bluebird houses. In Spelling we worked with words ending in -ion.
Mr. Mayo (7,8)
We will start
Jefferson’s presidency soon, in History class.
We will be surprised by how little Mr. Jefferson followed the
Constitution when he thought it was the right thing to do. He made such a fuss when Adams did things that
were contrary to the Constitution. We
tend to be “Loose Interpreters” of the Constitution, especially when it suits
our party.
Mr. Reisenbichler (7-8)
In religion we are discussing true
friendship through Christ. In 7th
grade math the students are graphing functions and evaluating integers. In 8th grade math we are studying
sampling methods and multiplying binomials.
The students are building a bird feeder in STEM.
