Dear Parents,
As you know, we are in Holy Week. That means that we will be having a lot of services this week at Apostles. Please check your schedule to see if any of these special services will work for you to attend. On Friday afternoon, at 2:00 pm, we will have a special Good Friday service. Your child is expected to sing for this service. In order to make it easier for you to let your child stay, we are offering free homeroom from 11:45 to 2:00. If you do want to take your child home for a break, please have him or her back to school by 1:40. At that time, I will gather the children and have them use the bathroom. Then, we will assemble to go into church. We will be sitting as a class in the front of church. Once the service is over, we will walk quietly down to the classroom to wait for you parents to pick up your child. The children who are not picked up will go back to homeroom. If you have any questions about this, please ask. I know for some of you this is confusing.
This week we will be reading the book I Need a Lunchbox by Jeannettte Caines. Along with this book, we will be working with the letter X. Since this letter is so easy, I intend to spend more time with the vowels. We saw some confusion with the A’s, E’s, and I’s. With practice, this will go away. In math, we will continue to work with subtraction. These kids are amazing with math. They catch on to addition and subtraction so easily. For circle time, we will keep talking about our rocks. This week I would really appreciate the rocks coming in from the children. We will spend a lot of time looking at them to see the formations as well as the different minerals in each rock. Our Bible lessons will be “The Guards Tell Lies,” “Jesus Appears to the Women” and “Mary Sees Jesus.” From these lessons we will learn how the resurrection of Jesus assures us of our own resurrection.
During the week, I am going to be starting my physical therapy. I had my first session on Friday and I was very sore. I have two sessions scheduled for this week and one of them is on Friday. Miss Beutel will be here from 10:30 to 11:45 so that I can get in that session. I will be here for the Good Friday service though. Your child will not notice any changes because I plan to do some Easter projects that day.
Our Easter break will be from April 11 through April 19. I hope that all of you have a relaxing and wonderful vacation.
Mrs. Kronebusch
