Next week we will begin achievement testing with the
Iowa Test of Basic Skills standardized tests. We
encourage you to have your child(ren) fed and well rested
and at school all next week so we can wrap up these tests
before the Easter break. That way we get the results
back before the end of the year to plan for next year.
Our Easter break will be April 10-17. Classes resume on
the 18th. Please remember to take advantage of worship
opportunities during Lent and on Easter Sunday to spend
in God’s house with your family.
Please remember to share the news about our tree sale
and hanging flower basket sale with neighbors, family, and
friends.
School Choice deadline is fast approaching, please share
the information with any family that will benefit from a
free Christian education.

Literacy
We read several versions of
“The Elves and the Shoemaker” this week.We
have sent home another
book from the grant
program, “If You Give a Mouse a Cookie”.
We have added two more
sight word songs this week:
love and go. Please help your
child notice thee new words
as you read together.
We created marbleized eggs
by using shaving cream and
food coloring. We also
painted eggs by using pom
poms as our brush.
Jesus Time
This week we read about
Jesus’ suffering on the
cross, His death and
resurrection. Good Friday
was a sad, bad day when
Jesus gave His life for our
sins but it followed three
days later with a glad day
when Jesus rose again to
show that he conquered the
death.
In 3K we really enjoyed creating
our mock stain glass project and
cannot wait to get to take them
home for Easter. During Jesus
time, we are continuing to talk
about the events leading up to
C h r i s t ’ s C r u c i f i x i o n a n d
Resurrection. We spent time
talking about circles this week. A
great way to keep practicing shape
recognition is to continue showing
your child different objects and
having them identify the shape
(circle, triangle, square, rectangle).
We will be learning a new snack
prayer for the month of April. It
goes to the tune of "This Old Man"
and the words are: "Jesus, come,
be our guest. Let these gifts to us
be blest. For the things, you give
us every day. A song of thanks we
now wi l l say . Amen ." In
Kindergarten, we also had fun
creating our mock stain glass
project. During Jesus time, we are
continuing to talk about the events
leading up to Christ’s Crucifixion
and Resurrection. We took our
next Superkid progress test today.
Next week we will be taking our
standardized tests. Please make
sure that you eat a good
breakfast every day since it can
be hard to think on an empty
stomach. We will also be learning
a new prayer for April. It goes to
the tune of "This Old Man" and
the words are: "Jesus, come, be
our guest. Let these gifts to us be
blest. For the things, you give us
every day. A song of thanks we
now will say. Amen."
This week we rode into
Jerusalem with our Savior, to
remember all of the events of
Jesus’ last week before He died
for our forgiveness. He rode
into Jerusalem to shouts from
the crowd, “Hosanna, to the
King of the Jews!” The church
guys wanted Jesus to quiet the
crowd, and Jesus said if He
would do that, even the stones
would cry out. Later, Jesus
washed the disciples feet to
teach them to serve and love
each other. We are full steam
ahead in 2nd grade with
multiplication, perimeter and
area, as well as lots of review.
In first grade we are doing >, <,
and =, as well as lots of review.
In science we are studying our
solar system. In Superkids,
there is always something to
read about our characters. We
are testing and doing many
activities. Next week is the
Iowa Basic Achievement Tests.
It would be great to fuel your
brain with plenty of sleep, ate a
good breakfast, and brought a
healthy meat or cheese stick
for snack, and drink milk! Easter
Party is April 7. Worship the
final Lenten Sunday, March 26.

the Berlin Public Library,
Monday afternoon, to put
the Easter art projects in
the cases. The class is at
640 AR points, our goal is
1000 points. A special thank
you to Mrs. Josie Hartzke
for the Easter bunny kits
and Mrs. Karen Vergin for all
the materials to make Easter
cards for our shut-ins. We
truly appreciate your
t h o u g h t f u l n e s s a n d
wonderful art supplies. A
new experience for the girls
this week was blowing out
the egg yolk and whites from
the eggs. My only regret was
not putting it on video. It
was hilarious!! Enjoy your
weekend and especially April
Fool’s Day!
We thank Mr. Krenke for
filling in for Mr. Snow this
week while he was out of
the building for Child
Development Days on
Monday and for a workshop
with public school officials
on Thursday. He will also be
in Wisconsin Dells next
Wednesday when Mr. Snow
will attend a conference in
the Dells.
We have finished lesson 104
in math class. We will have
our next math test on
Tuesday.
We finished our book, The
Secret of the Cupboard, in
Reading class this week.
The class has been working
on vocabulary and literacy
skills on the book to
prepare for AR testing.
The class just finished
doing a great job in art
class as they completed a
badger drawing that we
have displayed in the hall
outside our room. Come take
a look. They did a great job.
Have a great weekend
Pizza making and pick-up
is Saturday morning.
We finished both a
science chapter and
geography chapter this
week. Geography will not
have a test for this
chapter. The science test
was started today as an
open book and open note
test. In literature we
have begun a poetry unit.
Achievement tests are
next week.
