Greetings,
We have begun a brand new service project. We are so excited to work with the Prayer Shawl Ministry on this wonderful idea to connect the children with face-to-face stewardship. We will be learning to crochet baby blankets for the children who are celebrating the sacrament of Baptism. This directly ties in to our year-long focus on the sacraments. It is our vision that the fifth graders will be able to be present at the Baptisms to witness the fruits of their efforts. I'll keep you posted as we move forward. We are currently collecting yarn (especially white) - so if you have any yarn you would like to donate, we'd love to put it to good use.
I will be sharing MAP test results with you at conferences. I will use this data to inform instruction according to the needs of the students. Students will also be sharing the portfolios they have begun; those will be useful in goal setting.
I hope to see you Saturday at the SMART Family Night Auction. Please see the separate email from Mrs. Evans regarding fifth grade involvement.
Carpe Diem!
Kindness is the golden chain by which society is bound together. ~Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
