Important News and Information:
-No school on Friday for Good Friday and the start of Easter Break.
-This week during our Faith Family Event we put together 160 care packages for Friends with Kids with Cancer.  Thank you to Thrivent Financial for helping to pay for the items in the care packages.  As a Faith Family, we studied Matthew 5:13-16 and were reminded that as Christians, we are the salt and light to the world.  We pray these care packages will help in a small way ease the suffering of the kids who receive them and let them know that someone cares for them.  It is good to work together and share God’s love.  It was also good to celebrate baptismal birthdays in the months of March and April.  

- If you are looking for services to attend over Easter weekend, Zion will have many to choose from:  Maundy Thursday –”Living Last Supper” 3:30 PM and 7:00 PM – March 29

We spent time during centers and during writing time this week brainstorming and then writing our fractured fairytale stories. The kids then worked together to help each other edit their stories and make them even better. 

Editing stories

After a week of brainstorming and editing, on Friday, the kids were able to start working on their final copies. They are super excited to publish their very own book!

We did math centers on Friday to review the skills we've been learning about throughout the week. 

Practicing telling and writing the time to the minute during math centers.
