Lamb Wins

 Yesterday we were able to gain a huge blessing from the concert of Lamb Wins.  A singing group that sings their way through the story of Revelation.  To buy a CD or hear them go to http://www.thelambwins.com/The_Lamb_Wins/Media.html.

The social studies project graphic organizer is due tomorrow.  Please be helping your student with research please.  This paper will need researched evidence and details.

On Tuesday, (February 25) the Book Fair will open at 6:00pm.  The Art Extravaganza will start at 6:30pm.  Please have your child there in church attire.  Then we will be changing for our gymnastics routine.  Blue school polo, khaki or blue school shorts and clean socks.  All students have a special part in our routine - it is important that ALL students are present.  Also, if any parents would like to donate some cookies for the event, that would be greatly appreciated.  Please let Mrs. Best know if you are able to help.

Fifth graders need to be done reading Pilgrim's Progress by next week.  We will be having our exam on the book.  Please make sure 3rd and 4th grade students are working on their reading packets.

On April 22, in the afternoon, our school will be having a run-off spelling bee.  The top 3 students from each grade will then be chosen to participate in a four school spelling bee at Beryl Wisdom on May 1st.  I will be giving the students spelling bee words very soon.

We have been studying the modal auxiliaries this week.  A great website to practice is at http://eslgamesworld.com/members/games/grammar/New_Snakes_%20Ladders/Mixed_Modals.html. We will have a test next week.

Today we made cards for an 18 year-old girl who has brain cancer.  We will also be praying daily for her.  I would like our class to "adopt" her and continue to encourage her through small gifts and cards.

Our joy quote today is from Chardin, “Joy is the infallible sign of the presence of God.”
