Dear Parents,
I hope that all of you had a nice relaxing vacation from school. I know many of you had plans and I hope the weather did not deter them.
This week we will be reading the story Three Little Kittens by Paul Galdone. Along with this story we will be working with the letter K. I am also sending home two words cards ‘have’ and ‘little’ for you to add to the stack. Believe me it does help when the children know the sight words. In math, we will work with addition. We are just about finished with this unit and I must say some of the children are very good at adding. For circle time we will talk about the organs of our body. Our Bible lessons will be “The Story of the Three Servants” and “The Workers in the Vineyard.” From these lessons we will learn how God gives us his grace and he expects us to be faithful.
I want to let all of you know how well the children sang at the memorial service. I got many compliments on their singing, but more importantly, they provided a powerful message. Miss Beutel and her family were very grateful for the song and expressed that many times. The class also got the family a potted plant which they put on the table up in front of church. Thank you so much for your donations and cooperation.
I must say too, on behalf of Miss Beutel and myself, we thank you very much for all of the nice valentine cards and gifts that you sent our way. It was very thoughtful of you to think of us.
This week is spirit week here at school. If you choose to participate, I want you to know that on Tuesday, we will have red, white and blue day. Each teacher in the primary grades has the option to choose whatever they want to do and that is what I want. Just as a reminder, Wednesday is dress-up day, Thursday is crazy day, and Friday is green and gold day. These days can be fun so just have a good time with it.
On Wednesday evening, we will start our Lenten services here at Apostles. We have two service at 5:00 pm and 7:00 pm. You are welcome to come and join us. We also have a soup supper in between the services. On March 11, the children will be singing and I hope you will be able to make it to that service.
I believe that is all for this week. Have a great week!

K2 Kindergarten Note Feb.9
February 9, 2009
Dear Parents,
Thank you all for the love and concern that you are showing for Miss Beutel. I want you to know the details of the memorial service for her mother. We will have the children sing in the service and they will sit as a class in the back pews by the sound room. I want the children to come to the classroom by 1:30 pm on Friday, February 13. We will run through the song several times and then we will go into church. Please have your child dress nicely that day. Some of you will be taking your child and bringing him or her back. Others of you will have your child go to homeroom. If you decide to send your child to homeroom, I will make sure that he or she looks nice before the service. I will also see to it that they use the bathroom and are ready to sit for a while. Once the service is completed, we will walk down to the classroom and you will be able to pick up your child there. If you would like to attend the luncheon after the service, feel free to do so. Again, thank you for all of the love you are showing Miss Beutel. She is a dear person in your child’s life and I know she is grateful.
This week we will be reading the story On the Go by Ann Morris. Along with this story, we will be working with the letter O. Please keep reviewing the words with your child. There are a few words that many are getting confused. In math, we will continue working with addition. The children are catching on, but I want them to get very good at adding the numbers. I apologize for not getting to the organs of the body last week. We got carried away catching up on our left over projects from the week before. We did manage to talk about the proper care of teeth. After our break, we will have a health unit. This week we will talk about the presidents. Our Bible lessons will be “Mary Anoints Jesus” and “Jesus Rides into Jerusalem.” From these lessons we will learn that Jesus is the King who came to give his life for us.
On Friday, February 13, we will have a Valentine’s party from 10:15-11:45 am. If you would like to join us, you are certainly welcome to do so. Those of you who signed up to bring treats can bring them anytime that morning. Remember, if your child is handing out valentines, he or she must bring one for everyone in the class.
Next week we will not have school. Please remember that as you make plans. I hope this will be a time for you to relax.
Have a great week and a nice break!

K2 Kindergarten Note
February 2, 2009
Dear Parents,
Thank you all for coming in and talking to me about your child’s progress. I do take everything that you say to heart and I value your input. As a whole, this class has many gifts and it is a pleasure to be able to see them use their talents. Remember if you have any concerns, please email, call or talk to me as soon as possible. I like to stay on top of things and with your help it is possible. I did receive most of the report card envelopes. If you have not returned yours, please do so.
This week we will be reading the story Honk! Honk! A Story of Migration by Mick Manning and Brita Granstrom. Along with this story we will be working with the letter G. I also have two more words to add to your list. They are ‘my’ and ‘we.’ In math, we will break for one day to observe and count to one hundred in observance of the 100th day of school. Otherwise, we will continue to work with our addition. During our circle time, we will talk about the organs of our body and how God made them special to keep us healthy. Our Bible lessons will be “Jesus Raises Lazarus” and “Zaccheus.” From these lessons we will learn that Jesus shows concern for others while on his way to die.
I am passing out the book order forms. You are not required to purchase any books. However, I thought perhaps since your child is reading you might want to have some books around at home. Please have the orders into me by Friday and make your checks out to Scholastic Books.
I am asking the people whose last names begin with the letter N-Z to supply items for the Valentines party. Please check the list on the door to see what items you might be interested in bringing. Thank you. I also gave you a list of the names of the children last week. If you have misplaced it, let me know. Our party will be Friday, February 13 from 10:15-11:45. If you would like to join us, that would be great.
As you may have noticed, our school will not be in session from February 16-20. We will observe president’s day and also have a teacher’s conference during that week. Enjoy the week off.
I hope all of you have a great week. Again, thanks for coming in to talk with me.
