Dear Parents,
Thank you all for the lovely flowers, gifts and cards that you sent my way for teacher appreciation week. I was truly touched by your thoughtfulness. I am the one who should thank you for letting me teach your child. I get more joy out of the cute things that the children say and do. Anyway, thank you again.
This week we will be reading the story Flower Garden by Eve Bunting. Along with this story, we will be reviewing all of the letters and sounds that we have had this year. I am also adding three new sight words to your stack. They are get, where and and. Please continue to go through these words. In math, we will begin the process of subtraction. I wanted to get to this sooner, but we have been very busy with different projects. During our circle time, we will talk about the five senses and how they help us to explore our world. Our Bible lessons will be “Hezekiah Prays for God’s People,” “Hezekiah Prays for Himself” and “The Three Men in the Fiery Furnace.” From these lessons, we will learn how God promises to help believers in times of trouble. Our Bible verse will be Psalm 56:11. In God I trust; I will not be afraid.
This next weekend is confirmation for my daughter, Christa. For my family, this is a big event and I will be having relatives coming from Nebraska. My father is also coming. As many of you know, he has Alzheimer’s. Since I don’t know what his needs are, I don’t know what to expect or what I will need to do to make this an okay trip for him and my mother. Therefore, I might not be here on Monday and Tuesday of next week. Miss Beutel will have the children if I am not here. I am sorry for this inconvenience, but I really need to take the time to deal with my family.
I have told you all about the graduation ceremony for the kindergarten children on June 5. We will start the ceremony at 11:00 and probably end around 11:30. You do not need to come to the graduation service planned for the evening unless you want to do so.
I believe that is all for this week. Have a great week!
