This last week has been full of more learning opportunities for me and the kiddos. We finished up our unit study on Polar Bears and they completed a report. The used the internet, books and prior knowledge to write their final report. We were also able to use a Venn Diagram to compare and contrast penguins and polar bears. This next week the students will begin a unit study on penguins. We also had a lot of fun with sight word fishing. Each fish had a different sight word on it and the students used a fishing pole to catch each fish. Thanks to my awesome mom for putting this and many more activities together.
On Monday the kids did not have school due to Martin Luther King Day, so we spent the day in Bell Fourche, SD. Miss Amanda attended a conference to become certified as a Mental Health First Aider. This will provide many opportunities for her and the Adorned Campaign on the reservation. While Miss Amanda was attending the conference we went sledding, ice skating, painted pictures and watched movies. It was a fun day just getting to have free play with the kids!
Please continue to pray for this mission and everything God is doing here. I can truly see his work and him moving on this land and in these people. Let me know if you have any questions about the Adorned Campaign. I truly believe this campaign is making a difference in the lives of many members here on the reservation.

Lots of Love,
The week continued with Wednesday night Awana with the awesome children. We learned about Noah’s Ark and created our own arks with spaghetti. The kids also were able to use the points they have earned through Awana to buy toys from the Awana store! They earned these points by dressing up with each theme, bringing their Bibles, and remembering the Bible verse for each week. It is truly wonderful to see these children’s faces light up when they are learning about God. Throughout school and church the students are constantly learning about the timeline of the Bible. They use Biblical timeline cards to put the Bible stories in order. It is fascinating watching 5 year olds discuss the Bible and when events occurred.
On Saturday, Miss Amanda and I set up the new Adorned Campaign office. We took inventory of everything and were able to update the current website. This is an organization Miss Amanda is so passionate about. It is a campaign completely about self worth and trying to combat suicide on the reservation. I would love for you to checkout their program and if you feel so inclined to buy a shirt or sponsorship bundle. Each sponsorship bundle is given to a teen to send a message that they are loved, they are more and to give hope.
