  • God's commandments show us His way. Those commands guide our lives. God tells us that our lives will go better when we follow the 10 commandments.  So, why do we so often go in the opposite direction of so many of His commands? We will sin, but willful disobedience wreaks havoc on our lives! Daily we need to go back to the Lord and ask Him for the strength, courage, and discipline to follow His commands joyfully!
  • November Thrive Time Video  Please take a few minutes to review this video.  It helps us understand how our brain thinks critically.  It also gave me some new ideas such as:
    • There is no short cut to memorization!  We can make it more enjoyable when we change the process(short or long), the sound(say or sing), or the who(on own or with others).
    • Having a growth mindset helps children be willing to fail and keep trying.
    • Giving children real encouragement is helpful.  Saying, "Thank you for working hard" vs. "That's wonderful/perfect. Good job."  Encouraging hard work and tenacity creates children who don't give up and try again.
  • This week we read stories focused on leaves. We practiced our writing by answering a question about the story. We learned that there is a top, middle, and bottom to the writing line.
  • As we approach winter weather, please remember to send all the appropriate warm clothes needed for your child to stay warm! It doesn't need to snow to need snow pants. Also, if your child arrives in boots, please send their regular school shoes along. Our gym shoes are meant to only be used in the gym. 
  • Encouraging family devotions as an important part of your day is close to my heart.  Here is a tool that makes devotions something your family can do...now just carve out 5 minutes a day to get close to Jesus!  WELS Family Devotions
  • Thanksgiving days! You are invited to bring a snack for our Thanksgiving days. Healthy options are encouraged! Cheese, sausage, fruit, veggies and crackers are all great choices. We love the treats too! Remember, many friends may be bringing something so small portions are good. Servings of 6-10 are plenty! We learn on these days how to make good choices!
