He is not here, for he has risen, as he said.
Come, see the place where he lay.

As it is getting warmer outside,

Rural King receipts needs to be uploaded in by April 1st!

School photos were a great success. Most children had their photos taken. If you have changed your mind and would like to order, please let me know. I can give you our photographer’s information.
Teacher Appreciation week is quickly approaching! May 3-7th! Let’s show our teachers how grateful we are for them. Our teachers work so hard both in the classroom and outside of the classroom. I am so thankful that we have a great team of ladies this year!

This has been a fundraiser that Spin Kemp has been doing for many years.
This year we are asking families to donate money to SISCA and the Ronald McDonald house.
We will split the money raised equally between these two places. We’d also like to collect one non- perishable item for the food pantry from each student.
We will be having the event on May 6th
and 7th.
Volunteers would be greatly appreciated.
May 6th
Mrs. Nowak @ 10:30 am.
May 7th
Mrs. Kidd @ 9-9:30
Ms. Schroder @ 9:45-10:15
Mrs. Lewis @ 10:30-11
Our rain date for this event will be May 10th & 11th.
Please do not head out and purchase a new bike, we do have bikes here at the school that can be used. We want the children to be familiar with their bike that they are riding. We do require each child to have a helmet; we do not have spare helmets. Permission slips and more information will be sent out closer to the date.

Hi everyone,
During April, our theme will be spring.
In Math, we will be consolidating the numbers to 20, particularly focusing on writing our numbers, counting on e.g. starting at 7 or 14, and counting backwards. We will also continue with mathematical language e.g. what’s next, who has more, a bigger number,
less than etc.
In Literacy we will work on the letters Q, Y and Z. We will continue to build our Word Wall and explore rhyming. We will continue with “Write the Room” where children write topic words that I have up around the room. We introduced our own “Writing Books” this month and will continue with these through April.
You will get to see them when they are full and I send them home. It’s great to see so many children starting to experiment with their own writing.
We will have “Show and Tell” in April. Please send your child in with 1 special item to talk about on their set day. It’s great to have a chat with them about this first so that they can talk more confidently to the class.
Monday, April 12 – Luci, Abby, Braelynn.
Wednesday, April 14 – Izzy, Cole, Addy.
Friday, April 16 – Evelyn, Caden, Kate.
Towards the end of April, we will be introducing a class “Wow Book”. This will be a book that we create as a class. Each day we will write a page about an individual child, talking about what makes them special and unique. That child will get to bring the book home the day we write about them and they can decorate their page any way they wish (stickers, drawing, writing, photos, glitter, collage anything at all). They then need to return it the next day we have preschool.
As always, please message me on Class Dojo with any questions or comments.
Peace to you all,
Mrs. Lewis

Happy Spring! I’m not sure about you, but I am so ready for the warmer weather to be here. Please remember that while the weather is warming up, please continue to have the students bring a light jacket or hoodie to wear outside for play time. When we have playtime, it can still be a little chilly and I would rather they have coats and not need them, then need them and not have them.
The beginning of the month provides all of us with a little break as we have Spring Break. Once we get back, we will begin to learn new concepts since we are nearing the end of our alphabet. I will be continuing with sequencing and patterns, then also introducing rhyming and beginning sounds of letters. As I said, we are nearing the end of our alphabet and we will also be continuing to learn numbers 20 and higher.

On a personal note, April is Autism Awareness and Acceptance Month. As you all know, my son is on the Autism Spectrum. Awareness and acceptance are two very separate things. Awareness is easy – you just acknowledge someone is different then you. Acceptance takes work, effort. Acceptance comes from a place of understanding – understanding that another classmate or person is different from you but still asking to play with them (or them with you), sitting with them at lunch and talking, just being a good friend to them and including them. As I have found through my son’s experiences, many school kids have a lack of knowledge about disorders such as Autism, and that lack of knowledge can lead to bullying or singling someone out all because they are “weird.” As adults, we are aware of such disorders, but we often forget to talk to our children about them. As we go through this month, I urge you to talk to your children. Inform them. Educate them. Encourage them to be a friend to the “weird” kid. Encourage them to be a friend to everyone even when their likes don’t align. Talk to them and reassure them that it is OK for people to be different and develop different.
If you have any questions, I am always willing to talk. I don’t have all the right answers, but I can definitely share my family’s story. There is a meme on Facebook that says “I am not an expert on autism. I am an expert on MY CHILD with autism” and that is 100% correct.
“Autism is about having a pure heart and being very sensitive… it is about finding a way to survive in an overwhelming, confusing world… it is about developing differently, in a different pace and with different leaps." – Anonymous
“I do not suffer from Autism, but I do suffer from the way you treat me.” - Tyler Durdin
“I don’t talk about Autism for sympathy or pity. I talk about Autism to spread awareness and acceptance for those children and adults that are just as important as you or me.”
