1 James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ,
To the twelve tribes scattered among the nations:
Greetings.
2 Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters,[a] whenever you face trials of many kinds, 3 because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance. 4 Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything. 5 If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you. 6 But when you ask, you must believe and not doubt, because the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind.

In May we will spend time looking at folklore. We will learn about the importance of story, and as our spiritual focus we will look at the importance of God’s story in our own lives. As we look towards closing out the school year, we would like all library materials returned by Thursday, May 17. Thank you for all you’ve done this year to encourage your child to read and make Westlake a school of readers!

I just want to thank you for all of the kind words sent my way regarding my retirement. I am so grateful to you and it truly has been an incredible honor working with your children. I have many production DVD’s (and a 10 year anniversary scrapbook made by Linda Coleman) that I will cherish forever. God Bless you and your families!

Dear Parents:
Time has passed very quickly, not long ago I was planning my beginning of the year implementing
new methods that would make my teaching more effective and enjoyable for the students. Today
I can see that my students had achieved the goals and expectations. I am proud of each one of them.
In May we will be reviewing what has been taught throughout the year. Vacation is very important
for children. This is the time that they can listen to music, watch programs in Spanish and practice
the vocabulary gained. Please help your child!!!!!!!!
Students: DISFRUTEN SUS VACACIONES!!!!!! Enjoy your vacation.

From Coach Buck and Coach Seiter
The WCS Elem Track Invitational was a huge success. Our 1st-4th grade students each competed
in 3 of 14 track and field events against students from Guardian Angels, Cornerstone Christian,
and First Christian Academy. Our team of 31 athletes received many 1st place ribbons in the events.
We are so proud of you! Keep running over the summer!
Our focus this month continues to be choreography at all grade levels. The 4th and 5th grade girls
have been working on a routine which they will perform at the Volunteer Breakfast. The boys will
work with the girls this month on a country partner dance routine.
The K-3rd graders have been taught various dance and rhythmic movement and how to connect
them in a sequence. They have learned many known dances so far like the Macarena and the
Cha Cha Slide and have been encouraged to create their own dance moves in a sequence.
We will continue to develop the skills needed for kickball, t-ball, softball and baseball depending
on grade level. We will work on striking skills, base running skills and fielding skills like catching
and throwing. We will focus on the concepts of learning the rules of the game and playing various
games to teach the students how to play the games with success.
