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.

Mrs. Eckstrand’s Room
This week our Jesus story is the Savior is Born. We learned how Jesus humbled himself to be born as a baby in a stable. The savior that's been long awaited finally arrived in Bethlehem. "Today...a Savior has been born" is our memory treasure this week.
In Social Studies this week we will tour Oberg and Leveaux mountain right here in MN. Ready to hike?
In Movement we continue working on our soccer skills. This week we're dribbling to friends and trying to steal the balls away using only our feet.
Our "secret art" is coming together nicely.
Our tree is up, so if you'd like one more thing out of the house, we have a place for our book exchanges. As able please purchase a preschool-1st grade level book, wrap it and write who it’s from. We’ll exchange them at the Christmas party.
Preschool: 14 is our number this week. “Long line down, jump back up, down and over down once more 14, lions roar!” Our letter this week is Rr for rabbit, radish, red, rainbow, and race car.
Kindergarten: We took Ch. 4 math test this week, and began Ch. 5 all about measuring and comparing. In Reading we waved goodbye to Sal and will begin activities and games with Lily.
Mrs. Utsch’s Room
In 1st grade Math we made visual models to solve word problems and solved word problems when one addend is unknown. In Reading we associated long-vowel sounds with CV words.
In 2nd grade Math we told and wrote time to 5 minutes, wrote and told time in different ways, and told and wrote time in A.M. and P.M. In Reading class, we associated oo, ew with the long and short /oo/ and we used quotation marks and commas to complete dialogue sentences.
In 3rd grade Math we multiplied and divided with 7, and 9, and worked on building fluency in multiplication and division. In Reading we are reading the novel “Shiloh” by Phyllis Reynolds Naylor.
In Religion we heard how a captain showed his faith by trusting in Jesus to help his servant. Jesus has power to help us in times of trouble. Our next lesson was how a woman kept praying to Jesus and trusted that he would answer her prayer. Jesus does not want us to give up praying to him for help.
