I can't believe we have only 1 and 1/2 weeks of school left.  
These last weeks will be filled with continued learning and 
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! 

A LOOK AHEAD:

Religion: working on Preschool chapel about Pentecost
Word Work: Review past concepts
Grammar: contractions, synonyms, antonyms 
Math: working with tens and ones
Science: clouds
Writing: personal narrative

All School Field Day will be in the afternoon on Monday May 23! Your child may wear athletic shorts, a t shirt, and please have them wear tennis shoes!
Wednesday, MAY 25, LAST DAY OF SCHOOL
We will have closing Chapel at 2:00 pm.  Parents are welcome to attend, I do ask that our first grade class sits together during the service. Students will return to the classroom with me for final goodbyes .
Dismissal will be at normal time 2:55 pm!
Lunch schedule for end of year…  The last three days of school, May 23,24,and 25 will NOT HAVE hot lunch. Kids need to bring a cold lunch,
 


Your children are very passionate about praying; I have talked to them about taking home the church’s prayer requests and continuing to pray for those in need. 
 
Please help them maintain an active prayer 
and worship life this summer.  

Remember to take advantage of the various services that Zion offers. 


Thank you for the well wishes for my daughter's graduation and Sending Service as she is now a Called Professional Church Worker.  She will be teaching preschool at Christ Community Lutheran School, CCLS, in Webster Gardens, next fall.

It looks like we may get some warmer weather next week.
We do go outside at several times during the peak sun hours. You may want to put sunscreen on your child in the morning or send some in their book bag to put on before recess.


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
EVERYONE is DONE with Memory this year!

We are having such a good time planning, prepping, and practicing our family devotions!

Keep those pictures of family devotions coming!
Thank you for helping your child learn about giving of your treasure to help others!

In Writing we are learning about personal narrative.  We played a game called Move It, then we made a story plan and 
wrote about our experience! 
We also rode a virtual roller coaster and wrote about that too!
