Good Afternoon!

Thank you to all of the students and parents for making it such a fun week last week. Spirit Week, two field trips, Valentine's Day, and a Pep Rally made for a mixed up, but fun, week! We return to a more normal week this week. (I can hear the grumbling from afar...)

Lenten Supper - Would anyone be interested in helping me put one on in March and have our classroom sponsor it? I did the baked potato supper last year with Mrs. Proeber. This year, Mrs. Proeber is not going to do it but we still could! She has the list of everything needed. I would just need some moms and/or dads to help me the day of baking the potatoes and what not. I would also need help serving and cleaning up, which the students helped me do last year as well.  Please email me this week if you think you'd be interested. I will sign us up for a date when I get enough responses. I would also be open to a different meal choice!

Book Report - Your child will explain this to you and should have brought their sheet home that was given to them last week. Please see the attached NOTE. Three options: 1. Email me that you have approved their idea. 2. Print off the note and send it tomorrow. 3. Write down the information on a separate piece of paper.

Homework:

Christ Light - Ws. 13a from Jesus teaching about honoring government
Memory Work - Lord's Prayer, #1510, 1523
Lit - See book report note above
English - Ws. 39/37
Math - Lesson 79, Evens
