The highlights of the week just finished:
- Many of the students thought we'd have a snow day on Wednesday. But alas, we're not in charge of the weather…thankfully, God is.
- We spent some time in the computer lab practicing for WorldMathsDay and WorldSpellingDay. The official days are next Tuesday and Wednesday, March 6 & 7. They are thrilled each time that they come up in competition against one of their classmates. When the real days of competition come, and there are people all over the world participating, it will be somewhat of a miracle if they play against a classmate.

- Friday was National AR Day. The nationwide goal was to have more AR reading quizzes taken than last years 2.1 million. That was surpassed shortly after 12 noon today. The last time I checked the total was over 3.5 million…and still counting.
- Celia's parents, Jim and Jody Anderson, came in today (Friday) and gave us a tour of their 7-week adventure to Alaska. The photos showed the wonders of God's pristine creation. A big thank-you to them for sharing their summer vacation with us. It might inspire a few students, and me as well, to journey to that part of the US.
- Tuesday and Wednesday we'll spend some time in the computer lab for Math Day and Spelling Day. I know that the students just think it's fun…but they're building their math and spelling skills at the same time.
- On Thursday we have a guest speaker coming from Golden Sands Environmental Center. She'll be speaking with us about groundwater; how we use it and why we need to conserve it. It is a free program to 5th grade classrooms in Waupaca County.
John 3:16
For
God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever
believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.
