What's up?

This past week:

  • Alice in Dairyland 


    • Several months ago 4th grade teachers (I assume all over the state of Wisconsin.) got an email from "Alice" inviting us to schedule a visit with her.
    • Alice does about 300 appearances each year.
    • As far as classrooms…she only visits 4th grade classrooms. That's because 4th graders study Wisconsin. We'll be starting our study of Wisconsin next week.
    • Thursday morning Alice was in Waupaca. Thursday 12:30 she was here. After she left us she was headed to Rhinelander.
    • The 4th graders seemed to enjoy her visit and willingly participated in her presentation.
    • I've never had "Alice" contact me before. I hope the next "Alice" contacts me, too.
  • This coming week:
    • The 3rd and 4th graders sing for worship at the 3:15 Lenten service this Wednesday.
    • We're starting a moon project because we're in the solar system chapter in our science book. 
    • The blue social studies book that parents are used to seeing will be completed this week.
    • The following Monday, the students will hand in that book and receive their Wisconsin text book. We'll be using that for the rest of the year. As we study our state, I usually "do away" with tests. There may be an occasional quiz, but no big tests.
God Bless
Isaiah 25:1

LORD, you are my God;
   I will exalt you and praise your name,
for in perfect faithfulness
   you have done wonderful things,
   things planned long ago.
