Typhoon Haiyan:

Three congregations of the Lutheran Church in the Philippines (LCP), a partner church with The Lutheran Church–Missouri Synod, are in the area hardest hit by Typhoon Haiyan, which tore through the country Friday, Nov. 8 and is one of the strongest storms ever recorded. At least one of those congregations is reported to have significant damage. 

More than 10,000 people are feared dead and thousands more have lost their homes in the wake of the typhoon  — also known in the Philippines as Super Typhoon Yolanda.

We had a blast at World Sport Stacking Day! We have some expert stackers in this class!!!

We used oil pastels for the first time this week and the kids loved it! Our fall leaves will be on display in the hallway, now until Thanksgiving break.
