SCHOOL DRESS CODE
If you haven’t looked through the handbook yet this year, please remember to take a look at the dress code section.
Tank top shirts or dresses in particular are not allowed in school, tops of shoulders must be covered. As Christians, we believe that our bodies are a gift from God, and that we should clothe our bodies appropriately. Because of this, all students are expected to dress in a neat, clean, respectful, and modest manner, and follow the school dress code.
Also, if a dress or skirt is worn to school, please ensure that they have attached shorts or shorts are worn underneath.

This week we are talking about how special our family is. For Show-n-share on Friday the kids will present their family picture to the class. We are also learning about Mat Man. We are learning how to build a person and letters with shapes and lines. We have sun songs and fun dance moves to learn about our bodies.
This week we are learning about the letter Tt, shape square, and the number 3.
Our activity center we are building the letter T out of magnets and erasing it with a magic wand. We are matching blocks and counting them.
On Wednesday our S.T.E.M project we are going to glue down different shapes to make a house. WE are also practicing writing our letter Tt by dobbing paint with a Q-tip.
On Thursday we are going to do free painting with a paint brush. We are also practicing our name at the writing center.
Our bible story this week is God made the world. Our memory treasure is “For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only son.”
PRESCHOOL (4): Mrs. Dragt
Exploding Monsters, Oh My!
This week preschoolers are learning the letter Tt, number 2, color orange and the shape square.
Monday: We used Q-Tip’s and paint to make the letter T. Also, don’t forget to ask you kiddo about our exploding monster we did in science. We learned when you mix baking soda and vinegar it creates a gas that makes things EXPLODE!!!
Tuesday: The kiddos worked really hard on tracing those letter Tt’s and in Movement we played Hungry, Hungry Hippo with Miss Lokensgard’s class.
Wednesday: We made the number 2 with linking cubes. For Art we read the book “I’m Not Just a Scribble” and made scribble art to match.
Thursday: We traced the number 2, but the best part is when we get to write the number on the big screen when we are done!
Friday: We worked on tracing and finding all the letters in our name with a dobber. Show-and-share this week was bring something in that is blue. I’m excited to see all the fun things they have!
Our bible lesson is God Fills the World. We learned that God created all these wonderful things on days 1-4 but then he filled all of his creation with birds, fish, animals and best of all people.
Our Memory Treasure: “…It was very good.” Genesis 1:31
K-1st: Mrs. Eckstrand
This week our Bible lesson focuses on Cain and Able. We hear how each son of Adam and Eve had a different heart towards God. In the end, Cain did not believe and trust in God. This made him angry, which led to hate, and that led to Cain killing Able. God asked Cain many times to confess his sin. Cain chose not to and was sent to wander without a home or good crops. God chose to save Cain from death in order to give him time to turn towards God. Our memory treasure is Luke 11:28 "But he said "Blessed rather are those who hear the word of God and keep it."
1st Grade math is working on measuring and then comparing their measured objects. Kindergarten is counting and filling in ten frames, as well as working hard at making those numbers.
In writing, both grades are brushing up with their names. The kindergarten is learning that each letter fits in the lines and have different sizes as well as making each letter properly. 1st grade is practicing their full names, and both are working on numbers to 30.
In Social Studies we looked at what past, present, and future means in history and how things changed and could change. I'm waiting for these kids to get the dinosaur car/jet/boat up and running 😊
For Reading, 1st grade has started to review their vowels, and sounds. They also got their books and are learning how the superkids have changed into first graders like them! Kindergarten is working on their Alphabet animals and the sounds those letters make. They will be meeting their first Superkid this week also.
