One cool thing I did this week was learn about fishers of men

We went to the fishers of men ministries and learn about that people who need food and got doughnuts.

Merry Christmas!!
I am actually writing this Thursday, so I am assured to have it written for the kids to do their blogs on Friday. As we close out 2018, I am reminded what an absolute joy it has been to be your children’s teacher these last couple of months. They are truly a pleasure to teach, and have made me realize that I am not ready to retire, and look forward to the prospect of spending the rest of the year here. We do continue to pray for Mrs. Hall, for continued strength and good health. I will be hoping to hear sometime in January whether I will be here until June or not.

It has been a pretty crazy week with lots of interruptions to the normal schedule, and so therefore, we are not much further than we were last week curriculum wise. We will be switching math classes once again in January. My class will be finishing the second half of unit 3, and Mr. Hutt’s class will be beginning unit 4.

The class really appreciated going to, and touring the Fishers of Men Ministries facility. I know they appreciate the fact that they are helping those less fortunate than they are. It gives them a great feeling of satisfaction, knowing they are helping keep families warm this winter!

We had Chapel yesterday morning, and everyone had an enjoyable time with all the singing that we did. It was so precious to see the Kindergarteners sing to us all. Chapel was highlighted by “highlights”, when Mr. McAboy spoke to the class with blue hair in honor of the struggle that Jacob Feak is going through. Many of your sons and daughters have sported their own blue hair(as you know when they come home from school) to support Noah and his brother’s fight with cancer. Please pray that Jacob can come home from Ann Arbor in time for Christmas.

We held our classroom Spelling Bee yesterday, and I want to congratulate Cora Boerman(1st), and Noah Feak(2nd) for advancing to the grade level Bee to be held in January! Those who participate thoroughly impressed me with spelling prowess! Study those word lists over break!!!

Thanks to Liz Culver, and Holly Heres for spearheading this year’s Christmas party, and all of you who volunteered to donate things for the cookie decorating! Please ask your son or daughter about the movie they watched this afternoon, “The Nativity Story”. It should be a very powerful film!

I hope and pray for you all to have the most Blessed of Christmas’s with your kids and family this break! Please know that I will miss them, they are a wonderful group of kids!!

Very Sincerely,

Paul Keyser
