Highlights from our Week:
It has been a great week hearing about Spring Break and the fun adventures that everyone had!
Math: We did a Lost in the Woods Escape Room to review multiplication and some of the other skills that we have been working on. Students always love these escape rooms. They work in small groups to complete different challenges, and in this case, to be rescued from the woods!
Language Arts: Inferences is a word that we have been learning for a little bit. This week they were inference investigators … they were placed in small groups and have ‘evidence’ bags … their job was to work with their group and use the clues to figure out what Tim and his Grandma had done on their snow day. It was fun to watch them piece together the clues first in their small groups, but then on a larger scale as a whole class.
This afternoon we were able to enjoy the dress rehearsal of Frozen. It was so well done and I would definitely encourage you to make a night of it and go see it next week with the family. They did such a great job, and there will be some special effects that the kids did not see today so still fun for everyone.
The fire alarm went off a couple of different times today. Some of the students were a little unsettled by this, but they listened and responded so well.

Bible Memory:
Matthew 28:1-10
After the Sabbath, at dawn on the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary went to look at the tomb. There was a violent earthquake, for an angel of the Lord came down from heaven and, going to the tomb, rolled back the stone and sat on it. His appearance was like lightning, and his clothes were white as snow. The guards were so afraid of him that they shook and became like dead men. The Angel said to the women, “Do not be afraid, for I know that you are looking for Jesus, who was crucified. He is not here; he has risen, just as he said. Come and see the place where he lay. Then go quickly and tell his disciples: ‘ He has risen from the dead and is going ahead of you into Galilee. There you will see him.’ Now I have told you.” So the women hurried away from the tomb, afraid yet filled with joy, and ran to tell his disciples. Suddenly Jesus met them. “Greetings,” he said. They came to him, clasped his feet and worshipped him. Then Jesus said to them, “Do not be afraid. Go and tell my brothers to go to Galilee; there they will see me.”
