I can't believe we have only 2 weeks of school left.  

These last 2 weeks will be filled with continued learning and hopefully some fun activities.  

I encourage you and your child to finish strong!

This class has been such a blessing.  I look forward to coming to work with them everyday.  

What a joy and privilege it has been to be their teacher!

Thank you for the appreciation shown to me this week!

A LOOK AHEAD:
Memory: we are done!!!
Religion: stories of the early church
Spelling: lesson 34 (this will be our last test)

We have been using a computer site called Story Jumper.  I am sending home an information sheet so that your child can log on at home and use the site.  To get on the site at home follow the directions on the sheet for HOME ACCOUNT.

If your child has a summer birthday and they would like to celebrate at school please email me the date so that we don't end up with a ton of treats on one day!

We have been working on counting dimes, nickels, and pennies.  This is something you could practice at home.

Don't forget to register for VBS!!!

If you have not returned your library books
please do so as soon as possible.
If you have lost library books please email me and I will get the replacement amount for you.

As it gets closer to summer I want to remind you not to take a vacation from God.  This class loves to sing the various liturgies used in church. They also have a very mature prayer life.  I ask that you continue to nourish their faith.  

Make a commitment to attend church weekly.  Show your children that nothing is more important than God, 
-not vacations (visit another church where you are vacationing), 
-not sports (take advantage of the various services times and days), 
-not sleeping in or boating or golf (show that God is important to you and make a point to worship even when it isn’t easy).  


Your child will be blessed by your faithfulness to worship and will follow your example.

He tends His flock like a shepherd:

He gathers the lambs in His arms

and carries them close to His heart;

He gently leads those that have young. 

Isaiah 40: 11

Being a mom can be a rewarding yet challenging job.
Please know that God is with you and 

He carries you close to His heart.
May you have a wonderful day!

In HIM,

Amy Bernhardt
