National Lutheran Schools Week

Happy Lutheran Schools Week!
Here are the basic things you will need to know for the week:

Spirit Dress Days
  • Monday - Comfy Day (please bring tennis shoes)
  • Tuesday - Crazy Hair/Hat Day
  • Wednesday - Dress Up for Jesus Day (wear your nicest clothes)
  • Thursday - Favorite Team Day
  • Friday - Make a 100th day shirt to wear on Friday Jan. 27th.  Attach or draw 100 things to a shirt to show off at our 100th day parade.   

Oatmeal Challenge
Our school will be collecting boxes of instant oatmeal with single serve packets to help hungry children in our area. This is part of Operation Food Search, where they send a backpack full of food home each weekend to needy children. The children return the backpack to be filled again. Please send boxes of instant oatmeal any day next week. The class that brings in the most, will get a little Emoji to clip on their backpacks. Thanks for helping!!

Math: 
We are beginning multiplication this week!  Starting Wednesday we will begin doing time tests for multiplication facts just like we did for addition during 1st semester.  The goal is that each child will MEMORIZE their facts 0-12 by the end of the year.  They will need to be able to finish 21 facts in 1:30 minutes.  Please help them practice these at home!  

Religion: 
Meet our Seminary student, Mr. Bartok.  Mr. Bartok is from Michigan and moved his family here so he can attend the Seminary.  Part of his course week includes spending 3 weeks in a classroom to learn some good teaching strategies.  He will be spending the next 3 weeks with us teaching the kids every morning for religion.  Please welcome him if you see him in our classroom in the mornings!
