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

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
