CCLS is glad to welcome children's book author Steve Swinburne on Friday, January 26th.
Mr. Swinburne will speak to students about the process of writing books, editing, revising, and other great details about his work.
Many of his titles are on his website www.steveswinburne.com
Christian Character Formation Project:
Read: Mark 4:35-41
Discuss: How can you courageously face the storms of life?
Memory Work (ESV):
Mark 4:41
And they were filled with great fear and said to one another, "Who then is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him?"
Psalm 89:8-9
O Lord God of hosts, who is mighty as you are, O Lord, with your faithfulness all around you? You rule the raging of the sea; when its waves rise, you still them.
Math: Lessons 46-48 and a Test Tuesday

Spelling: Five spelling words were given on Tuesday along with the weekly grammar assignment. There will a test on Tuesday. On their test, students will be required to correctly write a meaningful sentence using each spelling word; spelling and grammar will be checked for each sentence. They can practice and prepare sentences before Tuesday. We are glad to proofread and discuss sentences with students if they have them prepared by Friday of each week.
Reading: Students started a new reading notebook for the spring semester. We are working on building reading stamina. Students will be using reading logs to record the time and number of pages they are reading during one sitting. Students are expected to record a reading time each day at school and five per week at home. We expect them to read for at least 20 minutes (or longer) each time they log. By Monday of each week a parent needs to initial their student's reading log. Students should log at least 10 readings per week.
Science: We are starting a new unit on Energy. We will be looking at circuits, electricity, magnets, and more!
Look forward to National Lutheran Schools' Week January 22nd-26th
A flyer was sent home this week with notes about the special dress days.
Also, the K-4th graders will be completing a "birthday in a bag" service project. Students from each grade are asked to bring in a specific item for a birthday celebration. Our goal is to make 100 bags for children who do not have enough money to purchase birthday party items.
4th graders are asked to bring in party decorations: streams, package of balloons, etc. by Wednesday, January 17th to their homeroom teacher. A note was sent home with their papers on Friday with more details.
