Good Morning Parents:

What a beautiful winter wonderland outside.  I personally LOVE the snow(which is easy for me to say as I am not the one who has to clear the driveway everyday).

The snow does remind me again of how the Lord created every little detail about what we experience with nature.  We truly serve an AWESOME GOD!!!

With the snow I thought I would send out an extra reminder that with snow on the ground your child should come to school with boots, snow pants, gloves, hats... Please also make sure that your child has indoor shoes they can change into after coming in from recess as we do not want to get our carpet all wet in the classroom.

CONGRATULATIONS to CALVIN'S GIRLS VOLLEYBALL TEAM 

NCAA CHAMPS!!!!

We were at the game Friday and Saturday and it was so exciting to watch.  I no longer have a voice but it was so worth every minute of cheering.

Here are a few highlight from the game.

HOPE YOU ALL HAD A WONDERFUL WEEKEND!!!!

Hello 3rd Grade Families:

I hope that you have enjoyed the very beginning of your weekend so far.  We have had an interesting week as we have had several guest teachers throughout the week due to a meeting and my own sick daughter.  It can be very hard for children to have to have a change in their routine but our class handled it very well.

Thank you to Jennifer Hawkins and Karen Machiela for helping out as room lunch volunteers on Monday.



Next week we start our swimming lessons.  I have the detailed times in our newsletter.  If you have any questions about it just let me know.

Have a WONDERFUL weekend!

Good Evening!

I hope that this Sunday night finds you well!  I hope that you had a wonderful time celebrating God's Creation this weekend.  The Wyma's sure did even though it was weekend of cleaning...painting...fixing.... As I felt like complaining about it all, I stepped back and started to think...WOW, I am blessed with a house to clean, good health in which I can do it, and a loving fun family to do it with.  God really changed my stinking thinking quickly as he often does.

I was reminded repeatedly of this verse:

1 Thessalonians 5:16-18
     Be joyful always, pray continually; give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus.

I have updated the newsletter and have included our swimming lesson schedule.  You are welcome to watch any of the days.

I also wanted to remind you that this week on Wednesday, we have the Children's Advocacy Center coming in to talk to the children about making sure that they know how to keep their body safe from others.  The presentation is very well done and is very appropriate.  It is a very good reminder for them to hear.  If you have any questions about it let me know.

I just wanted to thank you again for sharing your "little blessings" with me each day.  I love the time that I get to spend with them.  I am learning so much about who they are as individuals.  It is so fun!!

Good Evening Parents!

I hope you have all found this weekend to be wonderful.  My family and I went to Chicago for a "birthday" weekend for my daughter Madelyn and her friend Kaylee.  We left right from school on Friday and just returned home tonight.  My apologies for not posting sooner.

The classroom newsletter has been updated so you can see what we learned about last week.

I am so looking forward to being with your children tomorrow.
