Hi Moms and Dads, 

I am disappointed that I have not been able to return to school.  The initial healing process has taken longer than I anticipated.  I have an appointment with Dr. Randall Monday morning to replace my splint with a cast.  Hopefully, I will return to school on Tuesday for our 100 day party.

We had another fabulous week in kindergarten.  Thank you all so much for your prayers during Kindergarten Open House.  It is always such a blessing for our teachers to be able to share the exciting things that are happening at Trinity. 

We are diving into the New Year with a strong focus on listening and following directions.   We are beginning addition in math, journal writing using "best guess spelling" and continuing with our rotation stations and readers.   Please look over daily papers for any areas that need to be reviewed.

In Bible we will be talking about Jonah and the Whale . Jonah’s story teaches us about obedience, willingness of spirit, gratitude, compassion and God’s patience and mercy.  We are reminded every day that PRAYER WORKS!!  Our worries, cares and concerns can be so heavy but become so light when we give them to the Lord. Your little prayer warriors bless my heart every day!

Looking forward to the 100th day of school on Tuesday!!

Hi Moms and Dads,

Jan. 31st - Feb. 4th

The 100th Day Party was a big success!!  The children had a great time moving through the 100th Day centers.  They especially enjoyed blowing out the candles and eating the cake.  Thanks to the moms and dads who helped with the party.  You are such a blessing to each of us. 

Please refer to the letter you received concerning kindergarten testing for Wednesday and Thursday.  Remember to send your valentine box covered with paper.  The children will decorate these later in the week.

It was wonderful to be back in the classroom with the children.  We had a great week.  Debbie Olsen and the Kindergarten teachers kept everything going while I was out.  I am thankful for all of their help. 

You continue to be a blessing to me.

Hi Moms and Dads,

I know the children are wishing for snow.  Snow probably will not fall but hopefully they will enjoy their day out of school.  Last week we Introduced fractions by making pizzas.  This was a lot of fun.  The children thought the best part was eating the pizza.  This week we will continue our winter theme.

The children have matured and changed so much over the last few months.  The best part of teaching is watching each child grow.  You continue to be a blessing to me.
