Wackt
We are in the home stretch! 4th quarter began March 23rd. Spring has arrived; at least on the calendar. The robins are out and the flowers are starting to make their way up out of the ground. I love this time of year. This time of year is particularly important. As Christians, we have the joy to gather and celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ.
School may be almost over, the flowers might be blooming, but that is not the most exciting part of spring. The death and resurrection of Jesus is. Jesus laying His life down guarantees us a spot next to His Father in heaven. As we continue on in April, take time to remember all of the creatures and plants that are awakening from their long slumber. Our hearts and minds are also awakened at this time of year as we remember what Jesus did for all sinners. Celebrating His resurrection is an awakening of our hearts and minds.
Happy Easter!
Mrs. Wackt

7th & 8th Grade News
Mrs. Jenny Meyers
The 7th and 8th graders enjoyed a wonderful day with their grandparents on March 16. The students were able to share their Allied leaders pop-up project, as you can see in the picture, as well as sharing their original acrostic poem and short story about an unexpected visit from grandma. The Allied leaders pop-up project was one of our assignments during the WWII and Holocaust unit. Each student was responsible for researching and writing a summary about seven important leaders and heroes of WWII. The leaders selected for this project included: FDR, Harry Truman, Gen. Douglas MacArthur, Gen. George Patton, Winston Churchill, Charles De Gaulle and British Field Marshal Bernard Montgomery.

Our class is now on the skeletal system in science. We each assembled our own skeleton and can now name many of our bones.
 |
The class is playing a game called "I Have, Who Has" as we were learning words associated with Lent.
|
Grandparent's Day was, once again, so special and fun. Our room was packed as kids shared their work, accomplishments, and stories. We continued to learn more about our grandparents by asking them some of their favorite things. We showed them our illustrated jokes and some grandparents told a few of their own. We finished off our time together with a Trivia Kahoots using the chromebooks.
Happy Spring,
Happy Easter!

3rd & 4th Grade News
Mrs. Jennie Berken
The 3rd quarter has come to an end! The 3rd and 4th graders can't believe it either. As Spring Break is upon us, along with Easter, I pray our days continue to be productive and fun.
This past month the 3rd grade students enjoyed reading
Sarah Plain and Tall
, while the 4th graders read
Bridge to Terabithia
. These two books have become my favorite to teach in the classroom, and the students practiced many of the reading skills that have been taught all year. They always enjoy watching the movie to compare and contrast.
Grandparents' Day was a hit! The students had fun putting together their synchronized swimming skit. We had a great time in the classroom with interviews, making fingerprint crosses and seeing if our grandparents could name all the states.
Blessings,
Mrs. Berken

1st & 2nd Grade News

Happy Easter! Christ is risen! He is risen indeed! Alleluia!
During the month of March and Lent, first and second grade devotions concentrated on Holy Week. We studied the parts of the Holy Week story - from Palm Sunday where the disciples found a donkey for Jesus to ride, to the wine and bread of the Last Supper, to the rock where Jesus prayed in the Garden of Gethsemane, to the cross and the empty tomb. Each day, the children received a picture of the item to take home to remind them of that part of the Holy Week story.
On March 2, we celebrated the birthday of Dr. Seuss, Theodor Geisel. The children love to hear the silly rhymes and creative made-up words. We read some of our favorite books to the children in 4K. We changed into our jammies after gym class and read with flashlights on the floor for fun reading!
On Thursday, March 8, we celebrated No Books Day through the Watertown Daily Times. We used the newspaper for all or our subjects that day - from reading a story, putting words in ABC order, to graphing the weather! We are also reading the chapter book "Jim the Wonder Dog" in the newspaper. The children are learning how to write a chapter summary too!
Grandparents' Day was celebrated on Friday, March 16 with many activities in our classroom. We read from our book boxes and poetry binders, played Shut the Box (an addition/subtraction game), made "window cling" crosses and even played Spanish memory! This is always a special day for both children and grandparents -- a well attended event! We concluded the day with chapel, lunch and a wonderful program in the gym.

Kindergarten News

March Madness in Kindergarten!
The kindergarten started out the month celebrating Dr. Seuss' birthday on March 2nd. We were able to wear our pajamas and brought in a blanket and a flashlight for the afternoon. We read several books by flashlight and watched some videos of the Cat in the Hat, The Sneetches, and Green Eggs and Ham. As a treat we had "green eggs" and ham made out of green pudding and a Vanilla Wafer. It was a fun afternoon!
Also during the month of March, we have been learning about our oceans, other bodies of water and different habitats and the animals that live in them. We are starting our study of characteristics of mammals, fish, insects, reptiles, amphibians and birds. We have many budding scientists in Kindergarten. The Kindergarten class has also started our spelling tests with 10 words and a sentence. We are building our skills for FIRST grade!
We had some leprechaun shenanigans on Monday. We set our traps with our grandparents on Friday and had high hopes of catching him. He made quite a mess but he slipped through our traps! We are keeping a lookout for the little guy as he still plays tricks on us during the day!
As we approach Easter, the class is learning about the events leading up to Jesus' death on the cross for us. Palm Sunday begins the journey in Jerusalem to the Last Supper and Jesus' arrest in the Garden, and finally to the cross. As Easter Sunday and the empty tomb reveals His love for everyone!
Alleluia! He has risen!
Easter Blessings!

March seems to have to marched right out the door! 4K has been busy as bees. We started out the month with Dr. Seuss day and our Read-a-thon. The Kindergarten class and 1st and 2nd grade class read to us and we shared our favorite books with them. We got to wear our pajamas all day and we used our pillows and blankets to read on.
We went right into our unit on plants. Did you know chocolate comes from a plant? We didn't, but now we know a lot about how plants grow, produce fruit and grow seeds. We even learned about all the plants that went into making our spaghetti dinner!! Tomatoes for the sauce, herbs to make it taste yummy, wheat for the pasta and of course chocolate for the desserts. We looked for signs that spring plants were growing when we were outside.
We had so much fun learning about our families. We learned who had sisters, brothers, both or non
e. We graphed our favorite family activities, and watching TV was the highest. We had so much fun looking at all the fun family pictures the students brought in. This was a great lead in for Grandparents Day! We did crafts, did circle time, had snack, and colored our sports sheets with our grandparents. We loved performing for them and seeing the other grades preform.
Our March concluded with a week of Spring and Easter. We are so excited that Spring is finally here. We read Brown Bear and made a book, decorated paper Easter Eggs and of course learned all about how Jesus died on the cross for us.
We are looking forward to a warm, fun-filled April. Hopefully full of butterflies, ladybugs, rainbows, and stories of our Lord and Savior.
-With God's Blessing

Music Notes
Mrs. Kathy Fortlage
Special thanks to Miss Anna Witan for working with the Kindergarten through 8th graders on a special song to sing in church! We sang at St. Peter's on March 11 and will sing our Spanish song again on April 15 at Immanuel. I am grateful to Miss Witan for doing this as it frees our music classes up to learn more for our spring program! Thank you Miss Witan!!
Kindergarten is working on using instruments to keep the beat and first and second graders are working on note reading. Third and fourth are working hard to learn a song from Korea (from the 2018 Winter Olympics!) for the spring program. Fifth through eighth graders are learning to count carefully while we begin our first drumming song.
Mark you calendars for the spring concert -- May 11 at 10am and 6:30pm in the Immanuel gym. Children in grades Pre-K3 - Grade 8 will be performing for you! The children will be wearing "church clothes" for this performance.

Spanish / 3rd - 8th Grade Art
Miss Anna Witan
Spanish
7/8 started researching and writing short stories in Spanish this month. I think it will be a great way for them to show off everything that they've learned in Spanish, especially the 8th graders as they move on to high school. 5/6 are impressing me with their understanding. I've been speaking a lot more completely in Spanish during our class times, and their understanding has really grown. 3/4 have been learning about position and location. We've worked on community maps and town/city vocabulary this month. 1/2 are enjoying a unit on clothes and some cool crafts for the holidays we had this month. Kindergarten is eagerly learning about school words and pushing their knowledge of numbers and feelings with flash cards and games.
Art
We did a combination Easter basket and eggs project for Easter with all grades the past couple weeks. We've been talking about lines and spacing as we move into a focus on sketching for concept cars. 7/8 will be dipping wax bottles this week and are very excited about that project.
