  • Food coloring and water make a great science experiment!  It is amazing to see how the color swirls and twirls and then completely mixes in.  We used this experiment to be reminded of Jesus' almighty power.  We studied His first miracle - something only God can do.  Through that experiment, we saw that Mrs. D. DOES NOT have almighty power!  We focused on the help Jesus was giving to his friends and how he showed his disciples that He is God for the first time.  His disciples marveled at His power.  We do too!  Every day we are surrounded by His power, whether in the cold outside or the warmth we are blessed with inside.  Jesus' power and glory surround us every day!
  • This last week we focused on the letters Oo, Aa, and Dd.  The children were becoming very good at writing the letters properly and remembering their sounds.  Just a few minutes here and there helps them remember...try using letter names and sounds in the car.  No more than 2-3 minutes at a time!
  • We worked further on writing our letters further in small group.  We worked on paper, small white boards, and the BIG white board.  Check out the pictures!  Our ability in writing is improving greatly!
  • We look forward to our opportunity to lead the crowd of the Emanuel Tigers basketball game in the Pledge of Allegiance! This is a fun night to get out and see what it is like to be a "big kid" at Emanuel. One of the many opportunities our students have is to play basketball and be a cheerleader. Plan to come, experience some good basketball, have your child center court for the performance of the Pledge, and enjoy a night out at Emanuel! Each student is receiving a voucher during the week before the game for a complimentary $2 snack from our Athletic department! The Girls B (5th & 6th graders) will begin at 4:15p, Boys B (5th & 6th graders) about 5:15p, Girls A (7th & 8th graders) about 6:15p, and Boys A (7th & 8th graders) about 7:15p. All times after the start of the first game are approximate due to the nature of the run times of games! We will perform before the start of the A Girls game. Please arrive around 5:40p as the games have been running ahead of schedule. It is also 8th grade recognition night and BLACK OUT(dress in black!)! Please reach out with any questions and hope you all can make it out!
  • Our team's professional development reminded us that including children in the work of the classroom or home boosts their intrinsic motivation.  The younger children are exposed to jobs, chores, or other work of the class or home, the more they build this intrinsic motivation for the future, the know how to get things done.  This is such an important skill to develop for our children so that when they are adults they have that ability built within them to know what to do, how to do it, and that they are capable!  Start including your child in the work of your home today!
  • We have the great opportunity to sing in church on Sunday, February 8, at the 10:30am service.  Please plan to arrive between 10:05-10:15am.  We will gather in the church basement just like for our Christmas service.  We will sit together as a class for the service.  After the service, we will meet you in the Gathering Area.  All students are expected to attend as part of our learning process.  We will be working very hard for our presentation to glorify the Lord.  It is the culmination of our hard work.  Praying you can all make it! Here is our song...be careful! It's catchy!!  I Am A Light
  • Your precious children have the great joy to present that same song at St. Joe's for the weekly worship service on February 9 at 10:30 am.  Their joy and excitement is so welcomed and appreciated everywhere, but especially at St. Joe's! We will need drivers to get there and back in time for dismissal.  Please Fast Direct or text me if you are able to drive!  Remember to have your driver paperwork filed in the office!
  • Please send warm snow clothes EVERY DAY!!  Even when there isn't snow, we use them!

  • 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
