For unto you 

is born this day 

in the city of David 

a Savior 

who is Christ the Lord!

Luke 2:11

                                    

If you have no church home to worship this Christmas, 

I invite you to Zion's Christmas Serivices!

I pray you have a very Merry Christmas     

and that your family's focus remains on Jesus this season!

Please make sure your child spends some time reading over break even just 10 minutes a day will help them maintain the fluency that we have been working hard on.

We have been busy with assessments this week.  I wanted to share the assessments with you.  Please look over the Word Work assessments' paper and Red Ticket/High Frequency assessment.  We are done with Level 1 Red Ticket/ High Frequency words if your child missed some in reading or spelling please continue to work with them on those missed words.  We will not be spending too much time on them as we are moving on to Level 2 after Christmas.

 If you have any concerns or questions I would love to meet with you after 2nd quarter report cards come out.  2nd quarter ends on January 5  and report cards will come out the following week.

MERRY CHRISTMAS AND GOD'S RICHEST BLESSINGS TO YOU!!!

Love,

Amy

THURSDAY IS A HALF DAY WITH DISMISSAL AT NOON!

We will be having our class party Thursday at 9:30 am. Thank you to parent helpers.  We will be having different stations that will be run by our helper parents.

We will be making Blessing Bags for homeless.  Each child will bring home a back for your family to keep in your car to share when you may see a person in need.  We will also be  playing games, making a snack and craft and eating pizza, oranges and sugar cone Christmas trees!  If you child doesn't want or can't eat pizza feel free to send them a cold lunch.

A BIG THANK YOU to my dad, Paul Trinklein, for cutting out and my husband for helping me sand and paint 176 wood pieces for our Nativity scenes! 

Look for the December Reading Assessment next Wednesday in the Red Folder.

LOOK FOR ALL CHRISTMAS ART TO COME HOME NEXT WEEK IN A SPECIAL CHRISTMAS BAG!!!

This week we learned that an angel told Mary and Joseph that they would have a special baby and they should name him

JESUS, which means "GOD SAVES".

The prophets foretold that Jesus name would be 

IMMANUEL, which means, "GOD IS WITH US"

Make time this weekend to worship and prepare your heart for the Baby who came to earth to be WITH US, to SAVE US, and GIVE US JOY!

In HIM,

Amy

I hope you noticed your child being intentional about sharing the GOOD NEWS of JESUS this Advent Season.

Our class Christmas monkey, Claus, has been sharing with us ways to share Jesus everyday!

Christmas cards

Candy canes because we told about the shepherds in our Advent service, we even surprised Mrs. Kuhlmann's class with a special candy cane treat!

We had a great time making up a cartoon about Claus everyday.  Look at them when they come home they are great and tell a fun story!

New crayons to color our nativity scene

New red pens, blue highlighter and green pencil to write on a post it note "Jesus Loves You".  Have you seen the note?

The monkey went home.  He gave us a game to play and promised to send a friend, but we have to wait!

We enjoyed making and playing with our very own Nativity!

Did you know that our prayer leader prays for us each day before lunch!
