CHURCH SINGING

First is Zion Lutheran Church just outside of Hutchinson, church starts at 8:45 so please be there by 8:30 – families can stay for the whole service. Next is St. Peter’s near Darwin, church there starts at 10:30 so please be there by 10:20 – families can leave right after the children sing.
GIFT CARDS – RAISE RIGHT
This program is great for Christmas gifts! If you are planning on gifting money this Christmas, please order gift cards through this program. The deadline in order to receive them before Christmas is Sunday, December 11th. Scrip is a great way to pay for everyday purchases using gift cards in place of cash, checks, and credit cards and the school receives money back to put towards field trips and activities.
PROJECT BOOKSHELF
Last day to donate new books to Project Bookshelf! Help brighten a child’s Christmas with a new book for the holidays!
10:00 START / DRIVE MORNING
Wednesday, December 7th is our next 10:00 start and parent drive MORNING.
If before school care is needed (Latchkey) please let us know as soon as possible to schedule caregivers.
PTF MEETING
Monday, December 12th is our next meeting at 6:30, all are welcome to attend! We will be voting on positions and discussing our next activities/fundraisers.
CHROMEBOOKS
We have about 8 left. We are asking $25/computer. They were bought around 2015 and google will no longer update so some of the functions will not work any longer but they are still usable with internet and come with their charging cord.
If you would like to purchase one, please either bring cash or check made out to Immanuel Lutheran School.
Mrs. Eckstrand’s Room
Our Jesus story this week is Mary's Big News. We learned how the Angel Gabriel came to Mary to tell her she would be the mother of JESUS! She trusted God's plan. "You are to call him Jesus" Luke 1:13 is our Memory Treasure this week.
In Science we experimented with magnetic force and were able to hypothesize, test and answer our hypothesis. We lifted our library shelf with magnets.
In social studies we will travel to Alaska to see how they play and live in the snow. For movement we are dribbling soccer balls. Keeping them close so we don't have to chase them.
In Art we have begun our "secret" Christmas present for our moms and dads.
Kindergarten: In reading we met Sal who loves sports and the letter Ss. In Math we are comparing and graphing shapes.
Preschool: Our letter this week is Ww for winter, watermelon, walrus, whale and worm. Our number is 13, "Slide on down, jump back up, around the tree, around the tree 13 monkeys!"
