ShineKids Preschool | Shine Kids

In Jesus Time, we will be learning the following stories: Pentecost, Elijah, Gideon, and the Fruit of the Spirit.  We will be strengthening our Math skills with adding, subtracting, 2D and 3D shapes, and compare measurements .  In Reading and writing, we continue to focus on reading stories, rhyming, writing sentences and paragraphs, and syllables.

Dear Parents,
In the next two weeks, your child will be taking the MAP test. MAP stands for Measure of Academic Progress. It is a computerized, adaptive assessment developed by NWEA that measures student achievement and growth in mathematics and reading. MAP tests are used to track student progress throughout the school year and inform instruction.
During this time, students often feel stressed and anxious and could use motivation from their loved ones.  You can play an important role in providing a letter to your child to support their efforts in the coming weeks.  You received a white envelope last week.  In that envelope there were instructions and a blank sheet that you can use to encourage your child.  Please use this opportunity to let your child know they have learned so much again this year!  God has gifted them with gifts and talents.  
We are collecting the letters and will be handed to children right before they take the test on their assigned day!
GRADES 6 and 7 will start testing on Monday!  If you would like your child to get a letter from you before testing on Monday, Please get the letter in on Monday.
Grades K-5 and 8 will start testing May 5th.  Please send the letters to your child's teacher.
Thank you for your support !

Puppy Chow & Rice Krispie Treat Sale!

We have one more opportunity for our St. Paul community to help Building Hope in Haiti:  

  • The Make a Difference Puppy Chow & Rice Krispie Treat sale will be held on Tuesday, May 13th.  Puppy Chow will be sold for $3 each bag, and the rice krispie treats will be sold for $2 each.  

Our goal is ambitious, raising at least $600 to support Building Hope in Haiti’s ministries, but we really want to help.  With that in mind we would appreciate it if you would consider giving to help us meet the needs of others.
