Dear Parents,
Week at a Glance 11/18-22
This week in handwriting we are writing the letters “c” and “e”. In religion we are learning about the kings of Israel and Judah and the time of the prophets. For memory we are memorizing Psalm 56:3 which talks about trusting God even when we are afraid. In language we are learning about syllables and opposites. In reading we are learned the “k” sound spelled “ck”. During science we are learning about animals traits such as camouflage and how these traits help animals in their habitats. In social studies we are learning about money as well as producers and consumers.
Week at a Glance 11/25-26
Next week during handwriting we will practice writing letter “f”. In language class we will be learning about root words and the suffix “-ing”. During religion our lessons will be about prayer. In math we will learn about two-digit numbers and numbers to 120. In reading we will learn about final consonant blends as well as the inflectional ending “-s”. Our science lesson will address how living things are like their parents. In social studies we will learn about jobs and how people choose jobs. We will also be learning about Thanksgiving next week.

Thanksgiving Break
Hope will not have school from November 27th-29th in celebration of Thanksgiving. I pray that you have a safe and enjoyable break!
Cold Weather
The weather continues to get colder. Please make sure you send your child to school with a jacket every day. Morning recess is often colder than the maximum temperature for the day. Additionally your student may bring a uniform sweater or Hope sweatshirt to wear in the classroom if they are cold throughout the day. When the temperature is below 50 degrees students must have an extra layer to help them stay warm.
Christmas Families
This year will mark our 31st year of offering the love of Christ through the outpouring of food and clothing to those less fortunate during the Christmas season. We are asking you to consider joining us in making it another successful season for the families that Hope Lutheran School has adopted during this season of giving.
