TRENTON CHRISTIAN SCHOOL

THEME: "So then, brothers and sisters, stand firm and hold fast to the teachings we

passed on to you, whether by word of mouth or by letter.” 2 Thess. 2:15

September 19, 2016

“The essence of childhood is innocence.

The essence of youth is awareness.

The essence of adulthood is

responsibility.” Andy Crouch,

“Culture Making: Recovering our creative calling”

This week I will have the wonderful oppor-

tunity to attend the 2016 Christian Schools

Canada Conference. I’m looking forward to a

time of inspiration and reflection through

keynote messages, workshops, discussions,

networking, worship, and of course fun; that

will strengthen and inspire me in my role as

principal and teacher at TCS.

This year Andy Crouch will be the keynote

speaker. Andy is a well-established author of

such books as “Playing God: Redeeming the

Gift of Power” and “Culture Making and

Culture Making: Recovering our Creative

Calling” and is an enthusiastic and highly

sought after speaker. Mr. Crouch is also the

executive editor for Christianity Today.

May God bless us ALL with a safe and

wonderful week.

Little Sparks Preschool

We are learning together what it means to be a

good friend and work together. Last week stu-

dents enjoyed working together in pairs to

search for eggs hidden in our classroom. This

week we will explore friendship through The

Rainbow Fish books by Marcus Pfister and add

alphabet activities into our circle time routine.

JK

This will be a short week for us in Junior

Kindergarten as Friday is a P.A. day. We have

enjoyed learning about the different things God

did during each day of Creation. This week we

will learn that God created fish and birds on

Day 5 and land animals on Day 6. Our theme

verse for this week comes from Genesis 1:1 “In

the beginning God created the heavens and the

earth.”

We have enjoyed spending time with Pete the

Cat and have said ‘good-bye’ to him. We will

begin a unit called ‘All About Me!’. A detailed

letter is coming home with your child outlining

key components of this unit.

Scholastic book orders are due on Wednesday.

Have a fantastic week!

JK/SK 5 Day

Kindersurpise

(5-day kindergarten students

from JK and SK)

We sure learned a lot about building last

week! We wondered about how houses were

built. After reading books and watching videos

about buildings, students enjoyed using what

they learned in their own building experienc-

es. Our theme verse for this week will help our

building "talks" this week: It is from Heb. 3:4:

"For every house is built by someone, but God

is the builder of everything." We will examine

some of the things God built in His crea-

tion. Students will also continue building num-

bers in creative ways. We will also explore and

learn about space, since some students began

creating a space center in our classroom last

week. Students are welcome to bring in space

items on Tuesday and Thursday. Don't forget

to check our blog for last week's newsletter:

mrsbevaarts.blogspot.com.

SK

We love to build in lots of different ways in

SK! So our theme verse for this week comes

from Heb. 3:4: "For every house is built by

someone, but God is the builder of every-

thing." Our theme song will be "God is the

Master Builder" by the Donut Man. We will

also connect this verse to the creation stories

this week. Students will meet in groups and

create something to show what happened in

each day of creation. We will continue to ex-

plore with our 5 senses in different centers this

week. The class will also co-construct the al-

phabet this week with "beautiful stuff." Don't

forget to check out the kindergarten newslet-

ter for last week on our blog:

"mrsbevaarts.blogspot.com." I apologize for

giving out the wrong address last week. I will

also email a link to everyone.
