Happy Thanksgiving LLS Families!
As we usher in November there is so much to look forward to. The leaves are falling, the grass is a bit more froster, and it is almost opening of gun season.
God has given us so much to be thankful. He has filled our lives with love, laughter, friends and family. Let us honor God this November. Let us praise Him for the gifts that He has given to us. In 2 Corinthians 4 Paul says "
All this is for your benefit, so that the grace that is reaching more and more people may cause thanksgiving to overflow to the glory of God."
Not only are we thankful for our homes, friends and families but we are most thankful for the most wonderful gift: the gift of Jesus. God sending His only Son to die on the cross for your forgiveness is the most wonderful gift; one that we should be so thankful for. As we are raking the leaves, getting ready to shoot that big buck, or preparing Thanksgiving dinner remember.....the biggest and best blessings it Jesus dying on the cross for our forgiveness of sins!
Have a wonderful and BLESSED Thanksgiving!

 7th & 8th Grad
e
Happy autumn parents, students, and church members. Once again, our month has been filled with learning and excitement.
In ELA, we read and discussed Edgar Allan Poe's scary tale, "The Tell-Tale Heart", and have started our next eerie story, "The Monkey's Paw" by W.W. Jacobs. The students also continue to develop their writing skills. Right now, the students are writing at least three pages per week, with most of the writing occurring during class time.
In math, we continue plugging away at the Saxon math lessons. The 8th graders are learning about ratios while the 7th graders are reviewing fraction skills.
Finally, the 7th and 8th graders have been feverishly working on making the Fall Festival a great success! The theme of this year's festival is Bible stories like "Joseph and the Coat of Many Colors".
As always, thank you for all your continued support.
Take care,
Mrs. Meyers

 5th & 6th Grade News
Our two days at beautiful Camp Lutherdale were exciting, challenging, fun, and memorable. The two main activities that we get to experience is what's called a "low ropes course" and the "high ropes course". Low ropes consists of various elements (usually in the woods) which present a challenge, or a situation, requiring brain storming, listening, figuring out, and most importantly, team work. High ropes are physical challenges involving climbing while depending on your harness and bilayer on the ground. As scary as it can be, the kids feel a great sense of accomplishment
and confidence once it's complete.
The food was good, the accommodations were nice, and Pastor Bergelin's "Mafia" game was a hit at night. We had s'mores by the campfire, complete with "scary" stories. We had a beautiful day on the lake for canoeing, despite the winds that
may
have pushed a canoe considerably off course....
The 3
rd
& 4
th
graders just finished up their science unit on ecosystems and now went on to weather and climate. They're keeping daily weather journals and watching the sky.
While studying adaptations, students tried to simulate different bird's beaks and pick up various types of food.

 3rd & 4th Grade News
My drive to school in the morning is dark, and my ride home from school is dark.....most of the time. We have hit the end of October, so the second quarter is right around the corner! The students are beginning to become more responsible for their work, working on staying on task and focusing on what they should be working on during the day. These are skills that take some time to develop, and I see the changes.
In religion the class we are understanding that the Holy Spirit works through Word and Sacrament to call us to faith and membership in His church, embracing the Bible as God' true Word and digging deeper into what bible passages really mean, learning more about Martin Luther and the challenges he went through, and identifying ways that God reaches out to us with the Gospel.
During Social Studies we are looking at how Americans are united, analyzing symbols that represent important ideas, people, and events in United States history. The students researched the Statue of Liberty and the importance. Then we began looking into the rights and responsibilities of the United States citizens, as well as the three branches of the federal government. The highlight of this was taking a virtual tour of Washington DC and hearing about all the important educational sites. They were amazed that it took over 100 years to build the Washington Monument from start to finish.
The students continue to learn new skills and strategies in reading and writing to help them become better readers and writers. I was very impressed with the last writing assignment from the 4
th
graders. They had to organize a narrative where two characters have an argument. They had to use dialogue and correctly use quotation within the narrative. I know they will continue to produce great works!
Each month the students have a reading goal to meet. When that goal is met they students receive a Pizza Hut coupon to buy their own personal pan pizza. The goal for October is 540 minutes, so I can't wait to see who reaches that goal, as well as those who exceed it.

 1st & 2nd Grade News
October needs a few more holidays/teaching weeks! (NOT!) First and second grade started off the month learning about farm animals in preparation for our field trip to Glacier Rock Farm on October 11. The children were amazed to learn that cloven hooved animals usually have 3-4 stomachs and that they regurgitate food to chew it again and again. Some were a bit disgusted with that thought! We also discovered the different ways animals are useful to us - as food, clothing or even medicine! After the farm unit, we spent a day studying bees before our trip to Honey Acres to view the honey process and the honey museum. On our field trip, we also stopped for lunch and recess at Harnischfeger Park. We saw the high levels of the Rock River and studied the map at the park which shows where the Rock starts up at Horicon Marsh until it flows through Watertown and down to the Mississippi River.
Fire Safety is also in October and we dodged rain storms to walk over to the Lebanon Fire Station for a great review of fire safety. The Lebanon Fire Department personnel are wonderful in showing the children their gear, the cool fire trucks, a fire safety video and a reminder of home smoke alarms and safety plans. (Did you check your smoke alarm this fall yet???) Columbus day was also in October. We discussed how it was great that Columbus discovered a new world, but that it wasn't so great for the Native Americans who were pushed off their lands and exposed to many diseases.
Academics? Oh yes... plenty of time for those as well. First grade is adding many new sight words to our vocabulary and are reviewing the short vowels as we practice sounding out words. Second grade is cruising through our reading series as we build on what they learned in first grade and learn new phonics concepts and reading strategies. In math, first grade is learning to write number sentences and have just started our first time tests with the doubles facts! They are loving the race to the finish! Second grade is working on reviewing our addition facts and have added telling time to the half hour.
We started our religion books learning Old Testament stories. In this past unit, we followed Moses to the Nile River as a baby, to the desert where God called him, through the 10 plagues, escaping across the Red Sea, up Mount Sinai to receive the 10 commandments, feeding the people manna and quail in the desert, and finally wandering for 40 years. We concluded with God calling Joshua as the new leader of the people of Israel and the 12 spies checking out the new land. It was quite an adventure with Moses!
October was also a month of service - as we colored pictures to send along with Sawyer Ninmann's step father who was on an Honor Flight as an escort. The children were excited to send their pictures along and then we saw pictures of the Korean soldier who received our pictures.

Music Notes
Kindergarten through second grade sang at Immanuel's Oktoberfest on October 16. We sang "Gottes Liebe ist so Wunderbar" in German! The children did an amazing job learning a new language! I am still receiving many compliments from church members and other guests! Grades 3-4 have started recorders and many have received their second belt in Recorder Karate! Grades 5-8 are finishing up a music history unit. Grades 3-8 will be singing Nov. 6 at St. Peter's at the 8am service. Kindergarten through 8th grade will be singing on Sunday, Nov. 13 at Bethesda Chapel at 3 pm. More information will come later with directions to the chapel.
All students have begun learning the songs for the Christmas musical! This year all the children will be in costume. I am still looking for brown fabric - sheets, fabric, etc. to be used for shepherds. K-4 will be in costume. 5-8 will be various town people and PreK-3 and PreK-4 will be angels. More information will be coming about the preschool angel costumes. Assigned parts for the Christmas musical will be sent home at the end of October. Please work with your child on his/her lines. There are quite a few parts this year and most of grades 5-8 will have a part! Don't forget to keep December 22 open on your calendars! We will have 2 performances. 10:00 a.m. and 7:00 p.m.

 Kindergarten News
The Kindergarten has been busy reading this month! We are learning many sight words and are now combining letters and sounds into short words! We have been taking a book home to read almost every night to help us practice so we will be GREAT readers! We have been talking about more and less, taller and shorter as well as fewer than and more than during math this month. We are starting to add small numbers together.
Apples, Apples, Apples
We have been reading about Johnny Appleseed and learning about apples. We had a taste test of five different types of apples! We really liked the sweet one named Jongold. The class loved hearing about Johnny Appleseed and how he helped to spread apple trees throughout the west! We took a survey of the younger children and found that most everyone liked RED apples and not green apples. We also measured how tall we were and how much different apples weighed using a balance scale. We also measured ourselves and found that most of us were 7 apples tall.
We have been learning about Abraham and Isaac, the troubles of Jacob and Esau, and the many sons of Jacob as well as Joseph's colorful coat and the jealousy of his brothers. The next famous person we will be talking about will be Moses and his incredible life!
We were blessed with a beautiful day to visit Glacier Rock Farm and Honey Acres. We got to ride a pony, catch some chickens and feed the goats. After our picnic lunch, we went to Honey Acres and learned about bees and how they make honey. We all enjoyed tasting the different kinds of honey.
In Christ's love,

PreK-4 News
This month, we've been learning all about our 5 senses. We've talked about different smells, tastes, sounds, textures, and sights. We've also been learning some new opposite words and talking about colors.
4K was unfortunately not able to go to the Fire Department for a field trip during Fire Safety week due to rainy weather. However, the kind fire fighters at the station brought over some coloring books, crayons, pencils, and fire fighter hats! We are so thankful for all the brave firefighters in our community!
In our Bible lessons we've been talking about the stories of Abraham, Sarah and their baby Isaac, Jacob and his brother Esau, and Joseph and his brothers. These stories have been teaching us all about loving and taking care of each other, forgiving others, and always trusting God to bring us through hard times.
The ECC Fall Family Fun Night has been moved from Monday, October 24

PreK-3 News
This past month the PreK-3 class has completely embraced fall. At the end of September the PreK-3 & PreK-4 took a trip to Ebert's Greenhouse Village and enjoyed their tour complete with a story about friendship, scarecrow craft, hayride to the pumpkin patch, snack and free time. In October we completed our activities, discussion and exploration of leaves, apples and pumpkins. We celebrated Columbus Day by making a ship with our hand-print. We talked about safety - especially fire safety. Many thanks to the Lebanon Fire Department for giving each child a hat, coloring book, crayons and a pencil; unfortunately the children were not able to go as scheduled to the department due to inclement weather. With Halloween fast approaching, PreK-3 is doing some Halloween activities, crafts and stories. We are also learning several nursery rhymes and becoming familiar with some of the more classic fairy tales and their meaning.
The children have been practicing hard for the LLS ECC Fall Family Night from 6-7 PM on Monday, October 31. The ECC children will entertain family and friends with several finger-plays and songs. There will be games, a craft and snack for all to enjoy. Please join the ECC for this annual fun social event!
During Jesus Time the children have been hearing how God works all things to the good of those who love Him. They know that God is always with them in good times and bad. They know God loves them very much.
The 2 PreK classes will be singing at St. Peter's at 8AM on Sunday, November 13. Please join us as we raise our voices in Thanksgiving

Spanish News
Hola!
Spanish continues to go very well this year. The 7th and 8th graders are learning higher numbers and using ser and estar (being verbs) in simple sentences. The 5th and 6th graders reviewed weather concepts and family words this month and are now reviewing food vocabulary. The 3rd and 4th graders just finished their lift-the-flaps alphabet in Spanish with several of the Spanish words they remember from last year. The 1st and 2nd graders are diving deeper into Mexican culture and heritage. They love our months of the year song in Spanish! The kindergarten students are going over the Spanish colors in depth. Their favorite activity is using the Smart Board to point out the colors of different items in Spanish. This next month, we'll be celebrating Day of the Dead, a huge holiday in Spanish culture, and also preparing for a test covering our review so far.
Adios!

 From The Office
More Than A Day
As Thanksgiving Day rolls around,
It brings up some facts, quite profound.
We may think that we're poor,
Feel like bums, insecure,
But in truth, our riches astound.
We have friends and family we love; 
We have guidance from heaven above.
We have so much more
Than they sell in a store,
We're wealthy, when push comes to shove.
So add up your blessings, I say;
Make Thanksgiving last more than a day.
Enjoy what you've got;
Realize it's a lot,
And you'll make all your cares go away.
