Picutre Book Picnic - October 2

 

 This Friday is the annual Picture Book Picnic. We gather with our buddies, share our favorite books, and have lunch and recess together. Please make sure your child brings a cold lunch that day, and if they would like they can bring a towel or blanket to sit on and a favorite book to share.

Ask Your Child About... A New Blog Series

We are starting a new series of blog posts - "Ask Your Child About..." Most Fridays you can expect to see a list of things that happened in school over the course of the week and possibly things they are preparing for the next week. Ask your child about them! These posts will be grade specific and found on each grades' blog page.

Christian Studies Assignment - due 9/17

In Christian Studies, we are examining what it means to confess your sins, using a model called the 5-A's.  Students have a worksheet on the 5-A's that is due on Thursday, September 17.

Christian Studies Homework: due 9/10

All students have homework due this Thursday (9/10) in Christian Studies with Mr. Schiemann.  They are to write a paragraph about a time when they made a My-Way choice and how that followed the cycle in the picture.  They are then to write a paragraph about a time when they made a Wise-Way choice and how that followed godly steps.  Please e-mail Mr. Schiemann if you have any questions (schiemannm@fhlcs.org)

Headphones Needed

We have begun our 2nd language studies on Mango Languages. It's been fun and the kids have enjoyed learning things like how to say hello and address people in either Spanish or French.
Mango speaks the language to the students, so they can hear the correct pronunciation of the words. In order for this program to be successful for all of the students, each child needs to have a set of headphones at school everyday. Headphones were on the original supply list and can be purchased fairly inexpensively from places like Ross, Marshall's, Target, and maybe even the dollar store (I haven't confirmed this, but the kids tell me it's true). Please make arrangements for your child to have a pair of headphones available to keep at school. Thanks for partnering with us in this exciting new curriculum and helping make it a success!

Today's Visit from the Pastor

Last year as a school, we implemented an "adopt a church" program to help support our association congregations.  The middle school has adopted Mt. Olive Lutheran Church in Forest Grove and St. Peter's Lutheran Church next door to FHLCS.  Throughout the year, the middle school will be praying for their adopted churches and helping them out with various ministries in various ways.  Another part of this is getting visits from the pastors in our classrooms so we can learn more about the churches.  Today, we had a visit from Pastor Mike Warmbier, pastor at St. Peter's, to introduce us to the ministries of St. Peter's and the history behind this congregation that has existed since 1882.  Thank you so much Pastor Warmbier for your time!
