Thoughts
My sister’s family was featured on a recent 20/20
television on Friday, March 25. If you
have Time Warner, you can access it on Primetime on Demand (channel 401). My sister, Sue, and her seven children were
imprisoned in a New York apartment by her husband. This is an update from its first showing last
June. It is also a short summary of the
movie that was created to show their story – The Wolfpack. I am not in any of the 20/20 scenes, but I
was in several of the scenes without visibility.

Classroom information
Mrs. Frey (P-3 & P-4)
Preschool
is learning letter L for life cycles. 3’s will learn about the life cycle of a
butterfly and frog. They will create life cycles using different pasta shapes.
4’s will learn about the life cycle of a butterfly, frog, and chicken. They
will create frog puppets and chick art using a fork. Both classes will learn
about Jesus’ ascension to heaven and the Great Commission. We can follow His
command to make disciples and remember his promise: “I am with you to the very
end of the age.”
Mrs.
Reynolds (PK & P-2)
This week Pre-K is learning the letter O as
we talk about ovals. We are also looking into gardening this week. We have
planted carrots, onion, and radishes in our root view farm and are diligently
watching them grow. We will be discussing the parts of a plant and how it
grows. We also have real caterpillars in our classroom we will be keeping an
eye on for the next few weeks. I cannot wait to watch them turn into
butterflies! Pre-K has a field trip this Wednesday to the Cincinnati Nature
center as well which we are all looking forward to! In Bible we are looking at
the apostles and what they did to help spread the word about Jesus and His
sacrifice for us. Pre-2 is also looking
into plants and gardening this week! We will also check out the plants growing
in the classroom and the caterpillars and discuss how they grow and transform.
We will be reading "The Tiny seed" by Eric Carle and making flowers
for our V- shaped vase as we learn the letter V this week. In Bible we will
look at the story of Jesus appearing to his disciples after He resurrected.
Mrs.
Sherman (K)
Kindergarten's caterpillars arrived
last week. The caterpillars have almost tripled in size and this week, they
should form their chrysalises. The class will finish their study of
living things as they label parts of a plant, create a garden in a glove and
show the life cycle of a butterfly. During Bible time, they will hear of
Thomas who had to see and touch Jesus before he could believe that Jesus was
alive. The boys and girls will learn that it is through faith that we see Jesus
in God’s Word and sacraments. At reading time, Kindergarten will read
about how animals' colors help them survive. In math, they will write
double digit numbers and time to the hour. In the afternoon, the students
will continue their study of pond life. They will create a pond mural and
research an animal that lives at the pond.
Mrs.
Reisenbichler (1)
We continue to learn about the
resurrection. This week we listened in on the
conversation between Jesus and the followers on the road to Emmaus.
In math, we had more fraction fun and worked with adding two digit
numbers. Our Native American unit is going well. This
week we learn about the Northwest Coastal tribes. The children
learned to draw alligators, turtles, and frogs in science before learning
about lizards. Last week the children completed the STAR test. It
confirmed what I knew. I have a class of awesome readers.
Miss Rhonemus (2)
The whole is buzzing with preparations
for the Spring Musical which will take place on April 29th. This week the
second graders have been reading Where do Polar Bears Live? The
students have been completing a field journal by using the description of polar
bear in the book. In science we are seeing which seeds will sprout first
and which ones will grow the most after 3 weeks. The seeds that we are
testing are Zinnias, sun flowers, pumpkins, and beans. In social studies
we are learning about goods and services. Seventh and eighth graders are
learning about Newton's Laws of Motion.
Mrs. Mayo (3-4)
In religion
we studied the ascension of Jesus into heaven. We finished the book, Snow
Treasure, in reading. In social studies we learned about Arizona and
did some map work on the southwestern states. We learned about animal
traits in science. In math the 3rd graders explored arrays, areas, and
fractions and also practiced different ways to multiply. The 4th graders
finished working with area in geometric shapes and geographical areas and then
took a chapter test.
Mr. Postenrieder (5-6)
In our Bible time this week David’s
life was the focus of our study. In 5th grade math we worked with
the area and circumference of circles. We also took our Unit 10 test. In 6th grade math we took our 17th
test. We also worked with experimental probability, geometric formulas, order
of operations, and classifying triangles. In our Language Arts time we
continued reading Which Way Freedom?
In Social Studies we prepared and presented power points on the islands of the
Caribbean. In Science we completed our study of biomes and aquatic ecosystems.
We continued to monitor our bluebird houses.
Mr. Mayo (7,8)
In history,
we’re learning of the events leading up to and including the War of 1812. We’re reading poetry about growing up. It’s nice to know others have felt as the
students now feel. I don’t understand
how teens who don’t believe in the saving power of Jesus can be at ease… EVER.
Mr. Reisenbichler (7-8)
In religion we are discussing living
with suffering. In 7th grade
math the students are translating expressions into equations and then solving
them. In 8th grade math, we are
calculating compound interest constructing line plots. The students are constructing a key ring
using a CAD program on the computer and them printing it on a 3D printer in STEM.
