He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in the hearts of men; yet they cannot fathom what God has done from beginning to end. Ecclesiastes 3:11

We had another fabulous week in Kindergarten. Thank you all so much for your prayers during Kindergarten Open House. It is always such a blessing for me to be able to share the exciting things that are happening at Trinity.
We are diving into the New Year with a strong focus on listening and following directions. We are beginning addition in math, journal writing using "best guess spelling" and continuing with our rotation stations and readers. Please look over daily papers for any areas that need to be reviewed.
In Bible, we will be talking about Jonah and the Whale . Jonah’s story teaches us about obedience, willingness of spirit, gratitude, compassion and God’s patience and mercy. We are reminded every day that PRAYER WORKS!! Our worries, cares and concerns can be so heavy but become so light when we give them to the Lord. Your little prayer warriors bless my heart every day!
Looking forward to the 100th day of school on Tuesday!!

January 11-14

I hope that you are staying warm and dry. We had a wonderful week in Kindergarten. Our Bible verse last week was, "Do not be afraid". I have learned so much from your children as we have shared how this verse applies to our lives. What an honor to pray with them and share Christ in their lives.

Our Envision Math series kept us busy as we engaged in interactive smartboard games and stories. Sage Dining helped us make several delicious pizzas to reinforce our fraction unit. Many thanks to Mr. Greg and his staff!
