On a personal note the flu has arrived at our house.  My daughter is out sick for the rest of the week.  Symptoms of the flu are fever, cough, runny nose, and general ickyness.  The doctor shared that you are contagious if you have a fever. 

Also, pray that I don't have to drive to Athens tomorrow.  I am a little nervous, and because you wanted to know I am an old lady driver. 

Please share this message with other parents who may not read the blog.  

Send me an email if you have any questions!

Week of January 26th

Good morning!  

This week in preschool we are learning about Elisha, and Elisha's home, the letter L, the number 5, and rectangles.  

We are finally able to do Stone Soup this week! Yeah!  We will start on Monday/Tuesday, and eat on Wednesday/Thursday.  

We continue to discuss winter, and this week will start preparing for Valentine's Day.  Newsletters will come home M/T.  In the classroom will approach Valentine's Day from how God shows his love for us, and we can then show it to each other!  

I will also start winter assessments for our March parent-teacher conferences.  

Please email if you have any questions.

Fondly,

Wendy Garbrandt

Jan./Feb. Newsletter

Sorry for the delay. With our Snow days several changes needed to be made. 

January/ February Newsletter

Mrs. Garbrandt’s Lambs 2008-2009

Dear parents,

Wow, January is flying by with the delays and snow days. We are back into full swing. I am happy to share that the students had no adjustment issues after our long Christmas break. Lots of excitement and no tears!

The next two months are packed full of fun. We are covering the letters J, K, L, M, N, and O, the numbers 5, 6, and 7, and the shapes heart, rectangle, and square. In our religion studies we are discussing how Jesus grew as a boy, learned at the temple, and the works he did as a man. Our studies will continue into the Lent season as we build upon the Easter story. Some of our themes will be… Hot cocoa, The Mitten, Valentine’s Day, Dental Health, and Mail. 

Important Dates:

January 26 and 27: Chapel, remember your offerings for Luis

February 2 and 3: Pajama Day! Wear your jammies to school!

February 11 and 12: Valentine’s Day Parties (see below for more info)

February 23, 24, 25, and 26: Mail week. Please send in some envelopes with your children this week!

February 24 and 25: Chapel with Pastor

March 6: Parent teacher conferences (all day) see signup sheet in late February

March 12: Redeemer Open House (evening) 

March and April: Parent and Grandparent Reading Days. (See sign up in late February)

Our classroom parties for Valentine’s Day will be Wednesday, Feb. 11, and Thursday, Feb. 12 during class hours. Each child will need to bring Valentine’s addressed to their classmates, and a decorated box to keep the Valentine’s they receive. We will be making some crafts, playing games, and sharing yummy snacks. Signup sheets will be in the hall the first week of February. I appreciate your understanding in the limited amount of parent volunteer space we have in our classroom. Thank you for taking turns. 

As always it is a pleasure to be your child’s teacher. Thank you for your kind words and notes. Please contact me if you ever have any questions. I look forward to talking with each of you come conference time. 

In Christ’s Service,

Wendy Garbrandt

Hello Strangers!

I think we are having Christmas break two!

This week at school we are going to look at pictures of Washington D.C. and talk about Presidents.

The rest of our week will be centered around catching up from missed days.  

Letters: J and K

Numbers: 4 and 5

Shape: Circle

Religion: Jesus grows and Jesus goes to the Temple

The first week we can swing four school days we are doing Stone Soup.  The children are very excited for this, but it needs to be started on one school day and finished on the other.

I have printed three newsletters now, all which have been thrown away, I will post a final one this evening, and PRAY, that it does not need to be changed!

See you this week!

Wendy

Week of January 12th

Sorry for the delay in posts.  I relaxed a little TOO much over Christmas break.  Returning to the classroom and school was a little shock!  I am now back into the swing of things. 

This week at school...

Speech and hearing screenings.  If you have not brought your permission slip and monies in it is not to late.  I recommend these at this age.  Ohio University does a great job too. 

We are covering...

The boy Jesus at the Temple

Letter: Kk

Number: 5

Cutting, Cutting, and more Cutting

Snowmen

We are starting Stone Soup on M/T, and will be finishing it on W/Th. 

Don't forget, no school Monday, January 19, in honor of Dr. King. 

Newsletters will come home next week for January/February. 

Email me in the meantime if you have any questions. 

Thanks,

Wendy
