Newsletter 26: Spring break :)

Week Overview

At the beginning of the week I prayed God would use me to teach your children something new about Easter and to help them know that Jesus died for them specifically because he loves them so much. I have been incredibly blessed by your children as we journeyed through Holy Week together. Discussing the story with your children is the highlight of my Holy Week so far this year.

During “good news” each morning  we heard lots of hopeful stories about trips and fun things your kids hope to do in and around Zeeland. I pray you have a wonderful break together and a very blessed Easter!


Important Dates

March 30-April 7: Spring break 🙂

April 19: Full-day field trip to Critter Barn 


Reminders

On Monday please help your child remember:

  • beach towel
  • library book
  • take-home guided reading books

I thought it might be helpful to include this for after break. We’ll transition back together! 🙂


Curriculum

Bible: As we read through the stories we open a new Resurrection Egg and add to our timeline. Your kids are asking great questions and making comments that show me they are walking with God. It’s been an extra special week in Bible! When we get back from break we’ll add The Resurrection to our timeline and take them home.

“El ángel dijo a las mujeres: -No tengan miedo; sé que ustedes buscan a Jesús, él que fue crucificado. No está aquí, pues ha resucitado, tal como dijo. Vengan a ver el lugar donde lo pusieron.” Mateo 28:5-6

“The angel said to the women, “Do not be afraid, for I know that you are looking for Jesus, who was crucified. He is not here; he has risen, just as he said. Come and see the place where he lay.” Matthew 28:5-6

Literacy: This week we reviewed the following “tricky” letters: Qq, Ññ, and Yy. We also reviewed reflexive verbs, action words that are done to oneself, for example, washing one’s hands, Me lavo las manos. In art I noticed the kids are working on an Eric Carle project so we read the book, La Mariquita Malhumorada, by the same author and talked about how to be a good friend.

Math: We wrapped up our last round of math centers before switching to new activities. During math centers time we’ve been working on addition, (paying close attention to the parts that make up a bigger number,) counting by 10s to 100 and identifying teen numbers.

Writing Workshop/Exploring God’s World: This week we combined these two subjects and began a class book on living and nonliving things. So far every child has created a page about a living thing. We’re digging a little deeper and asking ourselves, “How do we know it’s a living thing?”
