We took a journey in reading lab, with a father and son, as they observed harp seals, as we read the story “Seal Journey”. The students learned that harp seals get their name because the markings on their backs look like a harp. They also learned that baby seals are called pups and their fur is yellow until the sun bleaches it white.
We just finished reading the story “Tumble Bumble” inReading Lab. The students practiced putting the animals in order of when they appeared in the story, this reinforces sequencing. They also acted out the stories with picture puppets. We had a lot of fun. Mrs. Bienemann
Our Cocoons have hatched!
1C worked so well together and had fun creating our caterpillars then putting them into their cocoons for safe keeping and unwrapping them to discover our BEAUTIFUL BUTTERFLIES!

Students will learn about Negative & Positive Spaces and how we can use these spaces to create images. Using a 6X6 piece of black construction paper, they will cut the square into smaller shapes to create an image (of their choice). Once they have turned their square into a visual design they will glue it onto a white sheet of paper and see how the negative space of a design is just as important as the positive space.

In celebration of the New Year children will create their own mask using feathers, sequins and glitter. We will then have our own New Years Masquerade party and the children will wear the masks they created.

3G has chosen to follow the theme of non-fiction books about animals. They are borrowing one book that talks about animals and one of their choosing. It is important that they learn to read this type of non-fiction so that they can learn to research and learn new information. Third grade is also very excited about the Scholastic “Kids are Authors Contest”; they have decided to start writing their own book and with God’s help they will finish it and we will submit it. In your prayers remember to pray about this class and this project; I know that anything and everything is possible with the Lord’s help.

2nd Grade: Class 2B is enjoying the privilege of borrowing two books per weekfrom the Library. They are following the theme of borrowing one Christian book and one of their own choosing. I told them that during the Christmas Break it is a great opportunity to read or have their family read those Christian books to them, so that they can minister to them through this wonderful literature. This is a special time of the year when we get to celebrate our savior’s birth, and what could be more wonderful than sharing such great news with those that do not know Him!!!

KV participated in our school Christmas production. We were wise men and sang our best. The program was a success and a blessing to parents and families.

This month KV explored new words and new letters. We are now able to combine words to make sentence
We are becoming so independent and responsible. The children are working so hard to earn our monthly “Be Prepared and “Homework” awards. Our main focus is always doing our best for Jesus.
