PIP PIP CHEERIO

Here is a chance to rake in some PIP hours or minutes (depending on your schedule).

Help is needed to set up the church bazaar on Tues., Oct. 15 from 6pm - 8pm.  They will take any help they can get (half an hour, an hour, or 2 hours).

Help is also needed to wait on students and community members during the church bazaar on Wed., Oct. 16th.  Help is needed during the hours of 8 am until 2 pm.  The help can be for a half hour, an hour, or the blessing of a couple of hours.

Lisa Casper is your contact person.  You can reach her at 715-921-4243.  Please leave a message if she doesn't answer.  Lisa will get back to you!

Horray for the blessings of PIP hours tieing us all together to work toward a goal!

Reminders

Students are learning to make reminder notes for themselves.  They have seen me make a note for myself on the board.  We work on making those reminders short and for ourselves.

A few parents may see a reminder note in their child's blue folder today.  It might only say the word Math and a number to tell kids what they are looking for.  It might say Food Sale to remind a few people to bring the order form back.

Encourage your child to write a short note.  Some students may not remember what to look for at home, but they can make a short note to help them.

Helping the School

Communication between parents and teachers is very important!

It has not been easy for me to contact you to tell you the blessings I have seen in your student. You are probably thinking this has happened because the class is so large, but that is not the problem.  The problem exists because your paperwork from the orientation night in August needs to be returned. Please take a look around your house for the folder.  Please fill out the paperwork and return it.

I look forward to calling you, sending you emails, and maybe you will find a card in your mailbox.

There are many good leaders in this class!  They lead with quiet manners, kind behavior, and never a bossy word!  I love seeing those quiet leaders and how they shine for the Lord!  I look forward to having your family information and I will let you know more about our classroom leaders!

The Work of a Lifetime

We began our day with Chapel.  Mrs. B. led us in a devotion about the size of our faith (smaller than a mustard seed) and the power of God working in us.  Our small faith is used by God's power to serve one another and show His love to the world.

The second graders have been daily working to show the love of God to each other by being an example. Most of the time we all want to lead and give God's love with demands, commands, and the use of our voice.  Jesus showed us the way to lead is to show His love by our own behavior.

It is my prayer for all of the second grade families that God's love is seen through our examples everywhere we go.  Our lives are not perfect, but the way we handle trouble is the work of the Holy Spirit guiding us to show His love and His power!  Keep Practicing your faith by leading like Jesus!

P.S. Our faith is very small!  Mrs. B had a mustard seed to show us and now we know that it is tiny.
