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.

January 18

  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 me 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!!

January 10-14

Hope that you all are staying warm.  We had a wonderful week in Kindergarten.  Our Bible verse this week was "Do not be afraid." It always amazes me how much I learn from your children.  Their "child-like faith" is a lesson for us all.  We loved learning from Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego to trust in the Lord and He will protect you!  
Envision Math fun filled our rooms this week with smartboard interactive games and stories .  A special thank you to Sage Dining for helping us with our delicious pizza making to reinforce our fraction fun!
We are so happy to have our new friend Emma join our family.  Please pray for our traveling family members in Arizona.  Safe travels and War Eagle!!
