“I am the Vine; you are the branches. Whoever abides in Me and I in him, he it is that bears much fruit; for apart from Me you can do nothing.”  John 15:5

Jesus Christ is RISEN!  He is risen indeed! Alleluia!

†  Welcome to the beginning of another wonderful week! Please keep the 7/8^th graders and their chaperones in your prayers as they experience the Ark Encounter and many other points of interest on their class trip.

†  Spelling for this week will work with the words from Unit 13: steak, break, great, stay, holiday, yesterday, stain, plain, explain, table, cable, and fable.  This week we’ll learn about the different long A spelling patterns. This test is Friday.

MEMORY

    Tuesday: No one can say, “Jesus is Lord,” except by the Holy Spirit.    I Corinthians 12:3

    Friday: But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be My witnesses.    Acts 1:8

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

* Our field trip is on Wednesday.  Remember ALL adults need to be iChatted to attend. Also, remember that, by state law, a child MUST be in a booster seat unless they are 8 years old and 4’9”.

   If you are one of our drivers, a form came home today.  Please fill out ONLY the top vehicle information and return it tomorrow morning (4/23), with your child.  If you didn’t receive that form, you are still going but will be one of our chaperones. I will assign your passengers when I get the form back. I will try to use the fewest amount of vehicles to get us to the Temple; thank you for your understanding. Please be at school and ready to leave at 11:45 a.m.

* Our book orders went home last week.  They are due back by April 26^th .  Remember that you can go to www.scholastic.com and order on-line.  Our class code is DVDV6.

* We are preparing for NWEA Testing in the first few weeks of May.  Please make sure that your child is coming to school on time, with a good breakfast, and a good night’s sleep; these things will help them to do their best on these tests.

* We have started to learn cursive…Yeah!  But please help your child by only practicing the letters that we have studied in class.  Believe it or not, even the way we learn cursive has changed since you were in class.  So, to make it easier for the children, please have them practice but only the ones that we have done in class.  THANK YOU!

Remember to live as Christ’s Easter people!

Also, remember that yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery and today is a gift; use it well!

Book reports will be accepted until Feb. 1 for January Book-its.   For some of the children, reports have been just copying whole sentences from the book. This can’t happen because those words are not the words of your child. Many of the reports have also been one sentence in length and that doesn’t tell about the content of the story. Remember that these reports should be at LEAST 2-3 complete sentences that tell about the story. Please review the reports before they’re signed. 

* Bring in/scan those Boxtops for Education. 

Remember that yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery and today is a gift; use it well!
