Blog Update Tuesday, February 16, 2015

I hope you had a good weekend and a great Valentine's Day.

Projects to Share:

If your student at Rockford Christian School would like to make a project at home to share, I will take a photo of it and I will put it on the RCS monitors.  The other choice is for you to take the picture and send it to me at DWorst@grcs.org. Please make all projects Valentine-related.

Or a Valentine message for your student to put up on RCS monitors!

Parent-Teacher Conferences (February 26 & March 3)

Watch for your Parent-Teacher Conference schedule to come home at the end of this week. Once again our 8th graders will be providing childcare services during conferences. Your donations will help support their 8th grade class trip to Mackinac in May.

Regional Spelling Bee

8th Graders Isaac Rop and Jillian Evink did well in last Tuesday’s Regional Spelling Bee held at Legacy Christian School.

The noon recess game of the month is Apples to Apples, fifth and sixth graders on Thursdays, seventh and eighth graders on Fridays. We’re also working on a 500 piece jigsaw puzzle. Two have already been completed! Parents, if you would like to donate a jigsaw puzzle, it would be welcome!

Middle schoolers are always welcome to spend recesses in the library to read books or magazines, work on the current jigsaw puzzle, play quiet games, or do homework.

Cinco de Mayo

The third graders will be going to the Cinco de Mayo restaurant in Rockford on Wednesday, February 18.  They are excited to practice their Spanish and to interview our mesero (waiter) in Spanish with Señora DeVries

The Environmental Classroom program News for This Week

AuSable le despite the cold weather.  With temperatures hovering in the single digits, absolutely none of the students were complaining.  They went about their work (and recreation) with enthusiasm and diligence

Today the students were given all the information about their African Country Project which will be due on March 11.

Family Time News

Thanks to Mrs. Burgess and the 2nd Graders for leading our worship in K – 4th Family Time.  Ask your student about today’s Family Time.  Just a reminder Family Time is on Mondays at 8:45am – 9:15am.  We would love to see you there.
