Week of May 13th

My heart is overflowing from all the joy we shared last week.

Wasn't it amazing to see your children boldly share God's Word during chapel? 

They did an awesome job!

Only two weeks of school left! This week is going to whiz by! 

Here's what's in store...

CHRISTIAN CHARACTER FORMATION PROJECT 

This week we will revisit the virtue self-sacrifice as we read from Acts about how the early church members lived their lives for Jesus and His church. They shared all they had, and met together every day to learn, pray, worship and break bread together just as Jesus instructed. As we read, we'll ask ourselves this "Big Question" - How can sharing your life, change your life? 

READING SKILLS and STRATEGIES

Freckle Juice? Ever tried it? I'm really excited to finish up the year with a class “book club” based on the book Freckle Juice by Judy Blume. We will be reading and responding to the book this week and next, between all of our other fun activities.

SPELLING

This is our last week of spelling. We pre-tested on a second set of "Dolch Sight Words" last week, and your child will only be tested on the words he/she missed.

WRITING 

The author celebration was a HUGE success! Thanks for taking time out of your busy schedules to come and rejoice in your child's writing accomplishments! I'm extremely proud of all their hard work!
