Sport Stacking (also known as Speed Stacking or Cup Stacking) is a sport in which specially designed cups are stacked in specific patterns as quickly as possible. It has been called a “track meet for your hands” and not only improves eye-hand coordination, but also academic learning. “Students that sport stack on a regular basis have shown increases in test scores and levels of concentration. When students sport stack they are crossing the "midline" of their bodies and developing new connections in their brains. These new connections help to spur brain growth which in turn promotes greater academic achievement.” Not only that---SPORT STACKING is FUN!

We had Mrs. Arens (Nick’s mom) shadow us for two days this week. The strings class had their field trip to the St. Louis Symphony. We also got to see the 8th graders do their rocket launch on Friday. We got to see the 4th graders do a readers theater Friday too...SURPRISE! It was actually a baby shower for Mrs. Donner! Congratulations!
This week’s bible verse is Ephesians 2:8-9. “For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God. Not a result of works, so that no one may boast”. I hope we will have another great week again next week! ~ Will and Norah Thank you, parents and kiddos, for the amazing baby shower! I was SO surprised. The kids did a great job of keeping the secret and really playing up the "Readers Theater" that I thought we were going to for fourth grade. Wow! It was such a wonderful surprise and I had a great time! Thank you SO much for the generous gifts. I can't believe you all contributed to our stroller and car seat and then many other gifts. Chris (my husband) and I are so grateful. Thank you all! Baby D is so loved! Thanksgiving Food Drive: The drive for the Seminary is Wednesday, Nov. 16. 6th grade is asked to donate Mac n Cheese!
