Dear Parents

Happy Monday and welcome to a new week given to us by the Lord!  I pray that you have a week filled with His love and His peace. 

Thank you to all that were able to send in “extras” from their homes for us to make our “junk creations”.  This was something new for me, but the firsties really enjoyed it and got right down to work after hearing the instructions….which were, they had to create something (it couldn’t just be pile of junk), be able to identify it and explain what it could do.  Because we were given many egg cartons, each firstie was able to use that as a base and then they picked 10 different items that wanted to use for their creation.  It was FUN!  Here is a few pictures of this project…

We will be having a few extra tests this week.  Our Science test will be tomorrow (Tuesday) and I sent books home today so you can review with your kiddo as well.  We “planted” our seeds on Friday.  Ask your firstie what seeds we planted!  We are going to observe them over two weeks and see if anything happens….(cross your fingers….and maybe your toes too…).  

Our Math test will be on Wednesday.  Review counting by twos, fives, and tens.  Practice in the car, practice before bed, practice while eating breakfast, practice whenever you can! 

In the parent letter today, I sent home some information about Lutheran Schools Week, which is the last week in January.  I will send home information again as a reminder later in the month.  

We did not go outside today….it was WAY too cold.  Don’t forget to always send in your firstie’s outside gear just in case we do end up going out. Thanks!

Stay warm!
