Memory for next week; Call upon me in the day of trouble, I will deliver you and you will honor me. Psalm 50:15


Spelling words for next week; get, ten, red, let, men, yes.

Huge thanks to all of you for you r help on the field trip to Miller Farm. We were blessed with great weather and yummy vegetables!

On October 19th our classroom will be blessed with Miss Schulteis, a student teacher from Concordia University, Seward Nebraska. She has completed eight weeks of classroom instruction in Nebraska and will be here to gain more experience. Miss Schulteis will graduate from Concordia University in May. Please welcome her to our Zion school family.

Early release (11:30) on Friday October 23rd.

No school on Friday October 30th.

Parent/teacher conferences are coming up; please watch for further details in the next week or so.

Please DO NOT send your child to school if he/she has a fever.

The first graders will be singing in church on November 8th. Please mark your calendar now!!!!

PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE do your math flashcards! We are currently working on simple addition, counting pennies and nickels, story problems and this week we added simple subtraction.

All of the students were tested this week on the first list of the sight words (it is becoming apparent who has reviewed them at home and who hasn’t). I realize that life is busy, but taking ten minutes per night to review those words will give your child a lifetime of success!

Thank you to the many volunteers this week, your help is greatly appreciated. Thank you also to the Brinegars for the donation of an electric pencil sharpener, it sure makes the morning routine go much faster.


Have a restful, warm weekend,
Mrs. Jaynes
