Religion

We want your child to be reminded of how God wants all people to come to faith in Jesus and to be saved.  He makes us His children as the Holy Spirit works faith in us through His Word and in Baptism.  In our story, Lydia was happy to hear Paul share God’s Word, was baptized, and welcomed Paul into her home.  Sometimes, your child may be less than excited to go to church and hear God’s Word or go to Sunday School or other church get-togethers with other Christians.  As you approach these events, talk about how you’re looking forward to going.  For example, talk about how you enjoy a certain Bible story and are learning so much about Jesus, talk about the beautiful music you want to hear, or other special events.  It is a special time to get together with other believers as God comes to us in His Word and Sacraments.  Just like Lydia, God opens our hearts to understand the Scriptures too, and we, in turn, can share God’s Word with others.  The gracious kindness of our loving God grows in our hearts too, so that we also can show gracious kindness to others and enjoy the fellowship of other believers. 

Kindergarten Graduation

Thank you so much for the amazing book representing each and every one of the children in our class this year.  I took it home and was fill with so many wonderful memories throughout the year.  A teacher has never felt so much love.  Thank you again.

Zoo Trip

God blessed us with a beautiful day. We enjoyed a critter class where we learned about Crackers the lizard, Rigatoni the ferret, Claw the box turtle, and Fossil the sand boa.  Thank you to all the wonderful chaperones; you made this day so easy. 

Annual Field Day Event

What an amazing day!  The rainy weather could not put a damper on our fun.  A big shout out to Mrs. Mang, Mrs. Lippold, and the many volunteers for heading up this great day.  We traveled throughout the school to participate in all the different stations. What a surprise to see the Kona Icee Truck parked right outside our school.  The shaved ice was a definite favorite. 

What Have We Learned

Literacy – Little Red and the Very Hungry Lion. This book is hilarious and takes the lion by complete surprise.  What were some of the tricks that Little Red did to outsmart that nasty lion?   

Centers – We wrapped up the centers from last week.

Phonics – Long vowel sounds

Language –On the first day of school, we read a story entitled Miss Bindergarten Gets Ready for Kindergarten. It is only fitting that we end with Miss Bindergarten Celebrates the Last Day of Kindergarten. 

Math – We used base ten manipulatives to explore numbers 20-100. 

Summer Homework - I pray that you all have a wonderful summer.  Did you know that the best influence for reading success is reading to and with your child?  Even as our children embark on their own reading adventures, take time to snuggle up together and read. Reading yourself is an excellent role model for your child to mirror. 

Summer Art – If you’re looking for an excellent drawing website, open up YouTube and search “Art Hub for Kids”.  This man is amazing, and he draws with his children. You will find a rather extensive listing of options with varying levels of difficulty.
