Verse for week 3/19

Mark 10:42-45 English Standard Version (ESV)

42 And Jesus called them to him and said to them, “You know that those who are considered rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their great ones exercise authority over them. 43 But it shall not be so among you. But whoever would be great among you must be your servant,[a] 44 and whoever would be first among you must be slave[b] of all. 45 For even the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.”

Ancestry.com Permission Slip

Ancestry.com and our Family Tree

We all have a rich and deep history. Some of us are familiar with where we come from and others know only a few names of family members that meant a lot to us. During our next chapter in History we will be outlining our family tree and, with your permission, diving deep into our ancestry.

I have purchased an account at ancestry.com and would love to assist each student in learning more about themselves and their family lineage. I understand that occasionally there are sensitive matters that are best left undiscovered which is why I ask that you sign this permission slip and initial in the “yes” area or “no” area.

Please feel free to discuss any questions or concerns with me in email (acoelho@npcs.org) or in person.

___________ Yes, I would like my child to participate in the ancestry.com exercise and receive a print out of the findings.

__________ No, I would prefer not to participate in the ancestry.com exercise.

I _____________________ give my permission for my student ____________________ to participate in the ancestry.com exercise, allowing my child to enter their name, family members’ names, and all supporting information.

Signature: _________________________________________ Date: ____________________________

Warm Regards,

Mrs. C

Verse for week of 3/5

Matthew 5:21-22 ESV
21 “You have heard that it was said to those of old, ‘You shall not murder; and whoever murders will be liable to judgment.’ 22 But I say to you that everyone who is angry with his brother[a] will be liable to judgment; whoever insults[b] his brother will be liable to the council; and whoever says, ‘You fool!’ will be liable to the hell[c] of fire.

February Newsletter

Mrs. C's 6th-8th grade has won the scripture rock 3 times so far this semester! You should be extremely proud of your students as this was no easy feat. They've been memorizing the Sermon on the Mount and at one point gave a oral presentation of twelve verses!

Here are some highlights from our month!

February Accomplishments: 
6th-8th grade: 
Bible: Memory Verse Memorization: Currently working on the Sermon on the Mount. We've memorized verses 1-19 and are working on 21-22 this week!
Spelling: Spelling Words (120 words with even more for Vocabulary)
History: We continued learning about events in the westward expansion of the US like the Louisianan Purchase and the Mexican Cession.
IT: We're working on our typing speed and fluency along with basic functions in Microsoft Word and Linux Text Maker. Your student was given a USB to use for the rest of the year. At the end of the year they will return this USB in good condition. If they cannot return it they will be "fined" $30.

3rd-5th grade:
History: Units surrounding our 50 states! We are in the thick of discussing our Northeast states.

IT: We're working on our typing speed and fluency along with basic functions in Microsoft Word and Linux Text Maker. Your student was given a USB Drive to use for the rest of the year. At the end of the year they will return this USB Drive in good condition. If they cannot return it they will be "fined" $30.

**Mr. Jenkins has officially taken over Math class for all grades 3rd-8th. The students are adjusting to his knew style of teaching. They have impressed me this year with their ability to adapt and make things work when our schedule, teachers, or daily events completely change.

Elective
We are all very excited to see P.E. return and can't wait until the snow melts so we can go outside! Mrs. Green, Mr. Evans, and myself will be taking turns leading P.E. I will be leading on Tuesdays and Thursdays and using this time for conditioning (ie: running, cardio, circuits, etc.). Gym clothes are require and a demerit will be given if a student is without them. Gym clothes include: Solid color shirt or NPCS shirt with logo, gym shorts with a length reaching almost to their knees (for girls, they may wear leggings under shorts, but not by themselves) and socks/tennis shoes.

Dr. Notes
Injuries happen and because our students are extremely active we understand that occasionally they might get hurt or fall ill and not be able to participate in normal activities. Our first and primary concern is the student's safety. Please be sure to send a doctor's note with your child in the event of an injury or illness that will take them out of daily activities.

Pizza Fridays

If you would like to participate in Pizza Fridays please send pizza money with your student ($4/slice, $2/extra slice) on Thursday. I generally never send out pizza slips, but it is still an option for your student.
