Week of May 4th
Thank you to those of you who brought in something for Max. His family has been through a lot this past week with the fire last Friday. I am reminded about the good works of our GOD each day through the children I am blessed to have in my classroom this year.
Give, and it will be given to you. Good measure, pressed down, shaken together, running over, will be put into your lap. For with the measure you use it will be measured back to you.” Luke 6:38
This week at school...
Letters: V and W
Number Review: 1-10
Science: Change. We will be discussing how things change and doing a science project with pennies.
We also will be making new art projects to display in the Narthex for May. Look for your child's work at the end of the week.
In Christ's Service,
Wendy

Sunday night update!
Two things of concern...
Our Lambs classes really, REALLY need a PIANO player for their spring program. If you would be willing to play the piano please contact to me A.S.A.P. The commitment would be for Thursday, May 14, and Tuesday, May 19 from 9:30-10:15 am, and the evening of Tuesday, May 19 for our program.
We also had a fellow students family experience a fire on Friday. While their home was spared and everyone is safe this has obviously been traumatic. Many of the toys were destroyed or ruined. I hoping that we can all join together in the spirit of giving and each donate one new Hot Wheels monster truck, or match box type car. If you wish not to participate no questions will be asked. I just feel this is something we can do as a classroom family. No other donations are needed at this time. If you have any questions please feel free to call me at home 653-9639, or email at garbrandt@columbus.rr.com. This is something I am doing on my own and not through Redeemer.
May we all be thankful for the rich blessings in our lives.

Mrs. Garbrandt’s Lambs
March 2009
Can you believe it is March already? This school year is flying by! We have a busy month ahead in our classroom with many exciting activities.
First and foremost this month are the Parent/Teacher Conferences. I am looking forward to meeting with each of you to discuss the progress we have made this year and to help answer any questions that you may have for the future. Reminders are attached to this note. I do my very best to be punctual, but if I am running late please knock on the door as a gentle reminder to finish up.
The spring fundraiser runs through the month of March. Sales start this week and all orders must be turned in on or before March 19. If you have been eager to help in the classroom the school we can most certainly use the help! If you would like to help me tally and organize our class orders please let me know. If you would like to help on pick up day, March 30, see Mrs. Daubenmire. The Little Caesars Fundraiser have been very successful in years past with your help!
In our classroom this month our religious studies will focus on Lent and learning about the Easter story. Our focus is on Jesus and his ultimate gift to us dying for our sins. Our Voyages themes cover “Jesus Blesses the Children”, “Jesus stops a storm”, “Jesus feeds 5000”, and “Peter and the Crippled Man”.
We will cover the letters N,O,P, and Q, and the number 6 and 7. We will also discuss the green, and the shapes rectangle, square, and oval.
This month we will be participating in the Pizza Hut Book it club. You are your child’s first and best teacher! Reading and home develops vocabulary and letter and word recognition. See the attached sheet for more details and return your crayons for display on our reading board!
