Week 19 Merry Christmas! (12/20)

 It's been a fast paced week wrapping up the quarter, with several tests, visiting classes to read our Christmas picture books, watching  The Nativity Story in Religion, The Phantom Tollbooth in Literature. and a bit of fun mixed in - ask your kids about the Elf breakout and if they are in TMath, the dice game called Chicken.  Today we had a special Christmas worship led by the 8th grade and Kindergarten focusing on how our Christmas Caorls share the Good news of Jesus -  the birth of our Savior is such important news it must be shared!!  Ask about the campfire chancel drama today.

 
I an overwhelmed by your generosity.  Thank you for all the gifts and goodies!   I pray you and your family are able to have a restful and worshipful holiday.  Jesus came to bring peace, love, and joy.  May we reflect the wonder of knowing He saves us!


Merry Christmas!
Mrs. Riemenschneider

 On Tuesday and Thursday this week we had 2 people get 500,000 words in A.R., 

those people were Lily, and Nathanael.  On Tuesday we played the wacky ball 

game which was chosen by Nathanael, and on Thursday we played poor floor puppy

 which was chosen by Lily. Thursday and Friday were Haydan’s Half birthday and

 Ella's birthday. Both of them brought Oreo’s as their birthday treat. On Thursday

 we had our field trip to Breeze park Senior Living Center. We  sang Christmas

 carols and talked to the people there about their life as a kid. Thank you for 

checking the blog!     

 





 

What a joy it was to see your kids interact with the residents at Breeze Park! After the initial nervousness, they had a good time learning about the old days. Plans are in the works to go back in the spring and "get our hands dirty" working on their grounds and then play games with our new friends.
