A little of this and a little of that this week…….
Take a look at these little faces all dressed for winter and the bus ride home from 4k. Once in awhile I get the privilege of waiting for the bus with these three adorable little girls. We have some enjoyable conversations about their new friends, pets at home, and anything else they are thinking about. I have several grand- daughters this age so I can “speak their language” – which is mostly being able to listen. My daughter related a story to me this week about our Abigail who had asked about the devil and if he was a real monster. After an in depth conversation with her mom, she went off for quiet time in her room. When mom checked in on her she was ‘reading’ her children’s Bible aloud, and upon being asked what she was up to, replied, ” I’m readin’ about Jesus a lot ‘cuz the devil isn’t going to get me anytime soon!” The faith of these little children is something Jesus pointed to as exemplary and something to be sought after. May we be filled with the desire to teach our children whether at home or school, the truths of God’s Word as preparation for their journey through this world and into the next.
What’s going on in the world of AR – Accelerated Reader? Second quarter brings us to the all school point contest. If we accumulate a total of 3,000 point with a percentage correct figure of 85%, each participating classroom will receive snacks and a movie for a reward. We made it last year, kids. Can we top our record? Let’s do it!
What better way to spend the afternoon on that early Wednesday snowy day in early November than to gather the eighth graders and the K-1 kids are work together on the props for the grandparent day festivities. They look very busy, and note that beautiful background of heavy snow outside. How cozy to be able to be in full view of that scenery in a place where you can be toasty warm.
Finally, the 4th and 5th graders joined an effort today to create a world record for the number of speed stackers performing their skill at one time across the globe. Would you believe they were joined by 30 other schools in Wisconsin, but also but children as far away as Australia and Venezuela.

The snowglobe animoto is beautiful! I enjoyed the snowflakes falling in front of the students inside the commons. Reminds us of the coming beauty of winter that the Lord will soon be sending us.
