Welcome to Week 15!
I pray everyone had a
blessed Thanksgiving. I also hope that we carry that feel-ing of thanksgiving through Advent into the Christmas
season. It is hard to believe that Christmas is less than four weeks away. While
people prepare their houses and themselves for this
blessed day, the students will continue to prepare themselves for our Chil-
dren’s Christmas Service. This service will be on
Christmas Eve at 4:30 pm. One of the true joys in life is to hear children praising our LORD in word and song! I hope to see you all there!
Questions, Comments or
Concerns: If anyone ever has concerns, comments, or questions about school, please stop in and see me. My door is always open. ~Mr. Babler
BFS Stars of the week! Congratulations to the

and labels throughout the year. You can send them in to your child’s
classroom, or drop them in the collection boxes in
the school foyer. Be sure to label them so that
the appropriate classroom gets credit.
Also, please be sure to check the
expiration dates on the labels.

Week 15!
Welcome Back! I hope everyone
had a wonderful Thanksgiving and
got to spend time with family and
friends.
We will continue this week to learn
our song for the Christmas Eve Ser-
vice, please also go over this at
home as well.
I pray you all had a happy and healthy Thanksgiving! As we start the month of December, much of our focus will be on the Christmas program. Please con-tinue to work on the memory work with your child as well as the other songs in the packet. As we move forward with our Superkids units, I will be sending home library books for you and your child to read. These are meant to be books that your child can read to you. They are short and should be returned to school the following day. Please take the time to encourage your child to read! This will be the first step to incorporating homework into our classroom. Continue to read the newsletter, as upcoming events and important reminders will be in there! Blessings on week 15,
Miss Myers

I hope you enjoyed a relaxing
and peaceful Thanksgiving cele-
bration. God has blessed us with
so much! May his love encourage
us to share his word and bless-
ings with others.
Spelling test number 6 is Thurs-
day. Be sure your child is prac-
ticing these words, both memory
and pattern words, each and eve-
ry night.
Today was the last day to earn
points for AR. The students
have been working toward their
1 point, but more need to reach
that goal. Spend time every
evening reading with your child
and him to you. This is how your
child gets better. I do expect all
students to reach their goal, if
not exceed it. Enjoy the quiet
time with your child!
Remember your child’s outdoor
clothing. Who knows when the
next snowfall will arrive, but be
prepared.
Continue with the Christmas rec-
itation practice at home. We are
working on it diligently here at
school. If your child cannot be
present for the Christmas Eve
service on the 24th, please
make a note of that on the
church form in the back of the
home folder. This will help as I
begin to make a seating chart
for the service. Thanks.
Have a blessed week in our
Lord, Jesus Christ.

I pray that everyone had a blessed Thanksgiving spending time with family and friends. What a joy it is to be thankful every day for the numerous blessings our Lord showers upon us. The classroom seems to have found a comfortable temperature, but it is always a good idea to have a sweatshirt here in case your child gets cold during the day. Remember though that we are certainly cooler by the lake these days for recess attire.
Memory work will be Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday this week, but that may change for the weeks following leading up to Christmas so please watch the news next week to see if we need the extra days. Thank you! Book orders were sent home today. They will be due back by next Tuesday in order to have the books arrive by Christmas. If you would like to order something as a surprise, please feel free to let me know and I will be more than happy to assist you.
A link for the next set of Spelling words was sent to you yesterday. If you aren't able to access the words, please let me know. Spelling Test on List 13- Friday Memory Work- Tues. "Yea Lord we..." Wed. Joy to the World vs. 1 Fri. Joy to the World vs. 2 Have a great first week of Dec.!

(Don't give it away to your young scholars!!) 5th Math We will continue using Khan Acade-my as homework for this week.

I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanks-giving! Now we begin the very special Ad-vent season, preparing ourselves for Christmas! We are in week 15 of the school year. Memory work will focus on parts of the children’s Christmas Eve ser-vice, which is on December 24th, at 4:00pm. Please give extra attention to helping with all the wonderful songs and Bible passages your child is learning so they can share the joy that evening!
The second graders will be singing at the BEGINNING OF BOTH church services (8:00am and 10:30am), December 6th.
They are singing a short Advent candle song. They will sing at the very beginning
of the service, while the Advent candle is being lit. Your child should come and sit in the very front pew, by the piano, before church begins. They should know where you are sitting, because they will go to sit with you, when they are finished singing. We will be going on TWO field trips next week! The first one is on Tuesday, December 8th. This will be to the Golden Rondelle Theater in Racine, for a science presentation on “Close Encounters of the Chemical Kind..”
We will travel by school bus there and back. There is no cost for this trip. Permission slips must be returned by Friday, December 4th. The second field
trip will be on Friday, December 11th from 9:00am till 11:00am, at Green Acres in Kenosha, to make a large Christmas wreath for the school. This field trip will cost $3.50 per child. Drivers and chaperones will be needed for this trip. Chaperones do not need to pay for this trip. Permission slips and mon-ey must be returned by Monday, December 7th.
Please make sure to return the envelope with your donation for the new library books, for our Christmas gift program.

Last Week:
• 8th Grade:
Last week,
the eighth
grade talked
about the four
main types of
matter as well
as the molecular motion
involved with these states.
We also spent a little time
exploring semisolids. We
dissected a clean diaper to
collect the polymer that absorbs
liquid which when activated
results in a semisolid substance.
We also made and ate the
semisolid jello.
• 7th Grade & 6th Grade: The 7th
& 6th grade classes reviewed the
bones of the skeletal system with
a quiz. They also learned about
the six types of joints in the body
and how those joints are
categorized by the amount of
movement they allow.
5th Grade: Last week, the fifth
grade met just once for science
to allow them time to finish their
unit in Social Studies. However,
during that day we talked about
species abundance and the
importance of species diversity
Math 3: We will be re-viewing line segments, and missing digits. We will also starting the fun of multiplication! There will be a test on Friday. Music 7: We will be intro-ducing "The Nutcracker Ballet". Those who would like to continue

Do you shop on line with Amazon?
If so, you can give back to Friedens with Amazon Smile every time you shop!
What is AmazonSmile? AmazonSmile is a website operated by Ama-zon that lets customers enjoy the same wide selection of products, low prices, and conven-ient shopping features as on Amazon.com.
The difference is that when customers shop on AmazonSmile (smile.amazon.com), the Ama-zonSmile Foundation will donate 0.5% of the price of eligible purchases to the charitable or-ganizations selected by customers.
Next time you shop at Amazon, simply log on through smile.amazon.com and select Friedens Lutheran Church as the organization to receive your .5 % donation. Do your shop-ping as usual and Amazon will do the rest. It’s that easy!
