Parent/Teacher Conferences tonight and tomorrow. I look forward to meeting with each of you. We’ve grown so much this 1^st quarter I look forward to sharing your child’s progress.

Bad Kitty (Mrs. Westenberg) came to visit us today. She was dressed as the “bad kitty”and read the story Bad Kitty from the book fair. She brought snowballs (marshmallows) for the children to taste.

Samuel was our featured bible character this week. Hannah, his mother begged the Lord for a baby and promised to give him back to the Lord for his service. The Lord heard her prayer and answered with a baby boy. Hannah kept her promise and took Samuel to the temple to serve under the priest Eli. The Lord used Samuel as a prophet in Israel throughout his life. Samuel was another good example a leader who listened carefully to the Lord. We want to listen to God and His word carefully throughout our lives too!

Zipping, Zooming Bats: We have been learning about bats this week. Our magazine from National Geographic featured these interesting flying mammals. We will fly the colorful bat kites that we made. Next week, we will learn more fun facts to know and tell about our furry friends.

PTL Meeting Tuesday, November 13^th at 6:30 p.m. Plan to attend and join in the effort to make Good Shepherd a great place to grow.

The Kindergarten learns two new languages! We are learning to count in Spanish. The children love playing games with Mrs. Anderson and often use the Spanish color words. Our 7^th grade friend, Kaitlynn Schwark came in to work with us on sign language. She has a great deal of experience as she has an older and younger sister who are deaf. She taught us the alphabet, number and color words as well as a few questions. We will hope to learn a song using sign language.

Worship the Lord with your family this weekend!
