This site was started in the Spring of 2020 when the schools had to teach online. It now serves as a source of information for both parents and students. It will also include instructions for learning at home if that becomes necessary
And now, we prepare for the 26-27 school year. I am always available to help you. Don't hesitate to ask.

Kindness Kids
Our Christian Character program is called Kindness Kids. 2026-27 will be the fifth year for our program. Since kindness is a gift from God, we want to learn to show kindness to all and reflect His work in us. We will strive to teach our children kindness by focusing on the our response to Jesus, our response to Others and our response to ourselves. Our theme is "Kindness Kids are Rooted in Christ" , which combines our program with the national Lutheran School theme, "Rooted in Christ" for 26-27.
"Therefore, as you received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in him, rooted and built up in him and established in the faith, just as you were taught, abounding in thanksgiving." Colossians 2:6-7
We begin with a study of God creating the world. We will focus on many different old testament lessons leading up to December, when our focus shifts to the new testament and Jesus' birth. In each Bible lesson, we learn ways to apply it to our own lives and see how He still speaks to us today. In each lesson we also look for ways that point us to Jesus, the Savior. The whole Bible points to Him. Talk with your child about what he/she is learning in religion class. Look for the Bible leaflets to come home in folders each week.
Kindergarten First Semester
There is so much to learn in Kindergarten and we will jump right in. As we learn to read, write, and gain math skills, we also continue to work on social skills and character. Getting a grip on these skills in kindergarten will set the course for successful school years to come. Here are some of our topics for the fall semester.
Reading: mastering all letter names and sounds, learning to sound out Consonant-Vowel-Consonant words, learning some high frequency words, beginning to read simple decodable texts.
Writing: Using lined paper, holding pencils correctly, writing all lowercase and capital letters with proper form, drawing shapes and simple pictures, beginning to compose simple sentences.
Math: Proper number formation, comparing numbers, one to one correspondence, understanding and writing teen numbers, sorting, classifying, making patterns, shapes, introduction to 100's charts
Science/Social Studies: social skills in a group, citizenship, life cycle of the apple/pumpkin, maps, globes and the world, animals and habitats, the first Thanksgiving
