Last week I talked about the gift of a Christian Education. This week I want to tell you about another gift my parents gave to me, it was the gift of weekly worship together. When I was growing up there was no question what we would be doing on Sunday morning. We would be in church and Bible Study or Sunday School. We went to church as a family, 8:00. I didn't always like getting up for early church and many times as a teenager I begged to drive myself to a later service. But my parents insisted that we went to church together. I still remember being on vacation and finding a local church to attend. Yes, I think I would have rather got up and swam some more on vacation but on Sunday we went to church. Wow, what an impression. God is most important. My parents showed me that in their actions. God is worth one hour even on vacation. I continue to worship on a weekly basis. Jon and I try to always go to church as a family. But times are different and my girls often have games on Sunday. Yet we ALWAYS make sure that church is part of our weekend. Even if it means going on Monday night at Chapel of the Cross. I am thankful for the opportunity to worship weekly for it is in worship that God comes to us and fills us up for the coming week, where God forgives us and gives us new life, where we stand with the body of believes and are built up, where we hear God's word explained to us, where we belong. We are in a new year and a new quarter here at school, maybe weekly worship could goal for you this year/quarter. It would be a great gift to give your family.
A look ahead:

As we are now in Third Quarter and I will be preparing the students for Second Grade. I will expect them to be more independent. You can work on independence at home as well. Have you child be more responsible for getting their school things together and if they forget let them face the consequence here at school. I love to work with students on helping them solve their own problems. It is hard to solve a problem if moms and dads solve them before the child has a chance! For example if your child forgets the homework folder please allow the child to solve the problem at school rather than bringing the folder up to school. Thanks for your help.
I will also be grading the papers more carefully and will be working with the students on how to follow directions. I will be marking reversals and capital letters wrong on spelling tests.
I have seen too many CAR papers. Please remind your child to work carefully on their math homework papers. You can check over the papers and then tell them I see one wrong can you find it? This way you are helping them learn to check their work.
VALENTINES: We will be making our valentine boxes here AT SCHOOL. Each child may bring Valentines to hand out. Please include a Valentine for each child in our class. PLEASE NO CANDY! This year we are asking that you DO NOT send candy to school with the Valentines. Our party will be on February 14

Enjoy the THREE day weekend,IN HIM,Amy BernhardtA sneak peek into our week...
We were hoping for more snow and maybe a snow day today.
Mrs. Helmkamp created an ESCAPE ROOM for us in STEAMLAB. We had to solve problems, puzzles, codes, and unlock
locks to find the ingredients for us to make our own snow!
1/2 conditioner and 2 cups baking soda
This week in Faith Families we learned that Jesus loved all people, even those who were hard to love. John 13:34 tells us,"A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another.” God wants us to share His love with others so that others will know Him. Jesus loved us so much that He died to forgive us and rose to give us Life. We painted wood pieces that will be put together to make a cross. The cross is a reminder of Jesus’ great love for us. This cross will be hung in the church for Lutheran Schools Week. We also we able to spend some time getting to know each other and our different interests. It is always good to end our time in the church and remember and celebrate baptismal birthdays.
