Week at a Glance
This week in religion we learned about Jesus’ earthly ministry including the Sermon on the Mount. For memory we learned Matthew 6:8 which tells of God’s provision for His people. In social studies we are finishing our unit on land. In science we are learning about how corn grows. During math we are practicing strategies to add two digit numbers together. During our reading lessons we are learning about the sounds “-nk” and “-ng”. In language we are writing complete sentences from a phrase prompt. In handwriting we are practicing letters “r”, “n”, “m”, and “h”.

Ash Wednesday Chapel
As part of this service on Wednesday, March 5th, the children may participate in the imposition of ashes. If you do not want your child to participate, please let his/her teacher know. The children do not have to participate if they do not wish to. If you have any questions, please get in touch with the school office. Chapel service will be held in the sanctuary. Parents are welcome to attend.
Mite Boxes
Don’t forget to be putting your coins in your Mite Boxes! We are encouraging all children at Hope Lutheran School to fill their Mite Box and bring it back on March 26th for chapel.
The best way to fill the mite box is to put your loose change from the car or have the children put in a penny a day. Thank you for supporting the LWML.
