Math

This week in math we introduced line segments, the polygon and began adding 2 digit numbers.

In language arts one student has successfully read all 75 stories in our packet and has moved on to choosing his own books to read. Several others don't lack but 4-5 stories in the packet and will then begin with books of their choice.

I am amazed at how well the kids are all doing.

In Christ,

January

Wow! Can you believe it's the middle of January already and Christmas was 4 weeks ago? We are moving on in math. All the kids know their doubles addition facts, and their plus and minus zero facts as well as their plus one and two facts along with the minus one and two facts. This week we are doing fractions. It never ceases to amaze me what all kindergarten kids are capable of learning. We are also discussing Martin Luther King along with several other figures and how they changed the way our society veiws people. It is so important for us to understand that all people are God's children and are created equally and loved equally by our Lord.

In Christ,

Johnny

We're back

Christmas is over January is here. School is back in session and while the first day was a little shaky we have all now settled back into our routines. While the weather is still a bit warm (I like that) we are talking about winter weather and how things are supposed to change with the seasons. We are starting our plus 2 and minus 2 facts in math and several kids are biginning to write stories rather than simple sentences. I am sooooooo proud of them and excited about all the growth I have seen.

In Christ,

Johnny

Bible verse

Helping your child to hide God's word in the heart is the most important thing you can do for your child.

This weeek's memory verse is:

Come to me all who are weak and burdened and I will give you rest. Matt. 11:28

December

December has arrived and with it all the joys of Christmas. The greatest joy of this season is the message of the birth of our Savior, Jesus Christ.

Another of the great joys of this season is to help those less fortunate than we are. Our outreach project for December was to provide gifts for four foster children in Bell County. The Jr. K and Kindergarten classes were assigned 4-year old Alexas. As of this morning Alexas' Christmas dreams will come true. You are an amazing group of parents and God is so evedent in your lives. Thank you so much for your generosity. God loves a cheerful giver.

In Christ,

Johnny

Thanksgiving Feast

Our Thanksgiving feast was a huge success. So many parents showed up to help and the kids loved dressing in their costumes for the event. As we are down to two days until the Thanksgiving holidays I want to take this time to wish you and your family the best Thanksgiving ever. May God bless you and keep you safe.

CHURCHES TOUCHING LIVES FOR CHRIST (CTLC)

CHURCHES TOUCHING LIVES FOR CHRIST (CTLC)

CTLC has a food pantry open to those in need in our community. This year, we ask that:

The Pre-School children in Mrs. Jones and Mrs. Langford’s rooms bring canned corn and boxes of macaroni and cheese. This will be our YELLOW group;
The Junior K and Kindergarten children bring cans of sweet potatoes and carrots. This will be our ORANGE group;
The First Graders bring canned green beans. This will be our GREEN GROUP;
The Second and Third Graders bring canned fruit. This will be our PURPLE/PINK group;
The Fourth Graders bring canned meat such as tuna, salmon, or chicken. This will be our BLUE group.
The Fifth Graders bring canned cranberries and cranberry sauce and/or 1-2 pound bags of rice. This will be our RED group;
Faculty and Staff bring canned soup, stuffing mix, 1 lb. bags of pasta, or 1-2 pound bags of pinto beans. This will be the JEANS group.

Each group will have a color-coded box that matches the group’s color, so that when your child brings his or her donation, it will be easy to put it in the correct box. All food items should be brought to school by Thursday, November 17. On Friday, November 18, each child may wear the color of his or her group to school instead of uniforms. At the Sharing Feast, each group’s food will be brought to the altar in the Parish Hall and blessed by Father David before it is delivered to CTLC later that afternoon.
