Dear Parents,
Thank you for bringing your child to sing in church yesterday. They did a wonderful job of explaining that it was God’s plan to have Jesus suffer so that we will not have to go through the pain he did on the cross. If you were not able to make it, please write an excuse and turn it in to me by Tuesday. Thank you.
This week we will be reading the story Corduroy by Don Freeman. Along with this book, we will be working with the letter E. This is probably the most difficult vowel because it is confused with I as well as A. We will work extensively on listening exercises to help with this problem. In math, we will start our subtraction unit. This also is more difficult to learn than addition, but we will plug away at it. During our circle time we will look at rocks. This is such a fun unit and if your child wants to bring in a rock for us to look at please let him. Just label the rock so that I can return it. We will enjoy looking at their treasures. Our Bible lessons will be “Jesus Is Put on the Cross,” “Jesus Dies on the Cross,” and “The Empty Tomb.” From these lessons we will learn how Jesus finishes the work of our salvation and proves that he is the Son of God.
This week we will be starting something new. Each week we will have a memory verse for the children to learn. On Friday, they will have to recite the verse for me. This week the verse is John 11:25. I am the resurrection and the life. We will work on the verse here at school, but your help at home is always appreciated.
On Friday, April 10 at 2:00 pm, we will have a special church service where we remember our Lord’s suffering and death. The children are expected to be at this service and will sing in it. In order for all of them to be at the service, the school offers free child care from 11:45 until the time of church. I will assemble the children in my classroom and we will sit as a class during the service. After the service, the children are free to go home and enjoy their Easter break. If you have any questions about this, let me know.
On Saturday, April 4, we will be having our Easter for Kids program. This is a very neat program where the kids move from station to station and learn about Jesus their Savior. Your child is invited to come. However, we ask that if possible, please sign up your child before Saturday so that name tags and other materials can be assemble for him or her. Thank you.
I believe that is all. I hope you have a great week!
Mrs. Kronebusch
