Dear Parents,

He is RISEN!  He is RISEN INDEED, Alleluia!  What happy and joyful news that we celebrated this last weekend….knowing, that without a shadow of a doubt, that Jesus didn’t stay dead in the tomb, but rose again for us!  He paid the price for our sins, ALL our sins, and because of that we will be with Him in heaven one day.  The firsties painted a picture as a reminder of what Christ did for us!  I want to encourage you hang it somewhere it will be seen often!  

We shared our eggs and clues today!  Each firstie did a great job with their three clues and we only got stumped a few! 

An Easter Lily!

A butterfly!

A nail.  The third clue for this was "It hurt Jesus". 

Just a reminder that there are NO spelling words for this week but we will still have a memory test on Friday.  Thank you for helping to prepare your kiddo for that test.

Our peeps went home last week!  They had such a good time making a nest for their peep, naming their peep, writing about their peep, and babysitting their peep.  

Our peeps even went to lunch with us!

Speaking of babysitting….almost ALL of our beans have sprouted!  I am a little surprised that it didn’t take longer, but am very pleased!  Last year, it took a long time for our beans to sprout, so we tracked longer (at school).  If the want is there, firsties can continue to track the progress of their bean seeds at home, and even plant them and see what happens!  

This week we will be looking at the “pirate” sound (ar) in words.  This sound will be in our readings (stories) and word works throughout the week.  

How is the reading at home going?  The more that your firstie practices reading, and reading out loud, the more fluent they will be.  Keep up the great work! 

WE are presenting Chapel next week, and assigned parts will be coming home tomorrow. Parts will not need to be memorized, but practiced multiple times would be AWESOME! :)

Have a g-r-e-a-t week, resting in the arms of our RISEN Savior!
