This week, the students have been working hard on learning about cells, unit cost, inequalities, modifiers, and creating Prezis to review NonFiction writing. We have watched The Miracle Worker and seen the amazing story of Helen Keller. We are exploring "Who Is Jesus" and watched portions of The Visual Bible: Matthew as we see Jesus as God, Man, Prophet, Priest and King. We welcome Micah's dad, Pastor H. as a guest religion instructor next week to begin our Holy Week studies.
With all this activity, I forgot to shoot photos this week, but I have lots of news to share about upcoming events:

FRIDAY!!
Friday is GRANDPARENTS' DAY. Please share the schedule that came home earlier this month. Students may direct their grandparent(s) or special guest to the church basement for devotions and refreshments and come to our classroom. Grandparents/guests will be escorted to classrooms. We gather as families in the church for singing, chapel and dismissal by 11:30. If you are picking up your child that day, please look for them to be dismissed from the front of the church or waiting on the JH steps. NO BACKPACKS FRIDAY.
Friday is also the end of the 3rd
quarter. Report cards will come home Friday the 18th. God has truly blessed me with this inquisitive class
and their eagerness for learning. We continue to grow together as we
set goals for the new quarter.
BOOK FAIR
Our class may bring in money to shop at the Scholastic Book Fair on Wednesday. Students will also have an opportunity to shop with a grandparent on Friday. Another option for families this year is to shop online, with a greater selection, and have the books shipped to Zion free of charge. Proceeds benefit our library. http://bookfairs.scholastic.com/homepage/zionlutheranschool4
SAVE THE DATE -
Friday May 20 will be our Lutheran Heritage Field trip. This is an extended day, arriving at 6:40 a.m. and returning at 5:30 p.m. that evening.
Please mark your calendars accordingly. We will be studying
immigration and the history of Lutherans in our area. Our day will
include a trip to the Altenburg Museum and Saxon Lutheran Memorial in
Frohna, MO. This is a colonial homestead where students will learn
about the first Lutheran settlers and have an opportunity for trying
chores such as gardening, laundry, and grinding corn. Thanks to
a generous sponsorship from the PTL, we are able to take a charter bus
for the trip and have a few extra seats for more parents to join us. Let me know if you are interested in chaperoning that day!
School Supplies and Book Covers
It may be time to restock school supplies. Students need red pens, pencils, and calculators on hand for different subjects. It may be that the spiral notebook is filled with notes (or that pages were ripped out).
Also, it's time to ask for paper bags the next time you go grocery shopping. Book covers need replacing if corners of the books are exposed or paper covers are ripped (or missing!). We need to keep good care of our textbooks. Fines are issued at the end of the year if paper covers are not adequately protecting the books or damages have occured.
