Even with a three day week, we packed it full of fun learning opportunities.
I am so glad I was able to meet with all parents and all students this week as well! Thanks for making it to the conferences on Thursday! The creation museum visited our school on Tuesday and Wednesday this week! We had the opportunity to explore this mobile museum and learn about dinosaurs as a part of God's creation! Kids were given a phone that they plugged their headphones into, and walked around to the different exhibits and listened to the audio tour on a phone! Technology is sweet! It was very cool to see and hear about! Here are our current units: Religion: Reformation English: Verbs Science: Inside Earth Literature: Character Sketch Red Ribbon Week: Starting next week! Here is the break down of dress up days: Monday: Election Day - elect to be healthy - (wear red, white, and blue t-shirt, with school dress bottoms) Tuesday: Sports Day - Team up against drugs (wear fav. sports team shirt with regular dress bottoms) Wednesday: Superhero Day - wear superhero shirt with regular dress bottoms (be super by making healthy choices) Thursday: Crazy Hair Day - We are crazy about being drug free (wear your hair crazy) Friday: Spirit Day (Jeans, Spirit shirt) Advent: Hark - The Students Lead Advent Worship! On Wednesday, December 5 at 10:00 a.m. and 7:00 p.m, grades 5 and 6 will lead the first Advent worship services at Zion Church. This is a wonderful opportunity for our students as they help our congregation prepare for the Lord's coming. Attendance is expected at both services, so please mark your calendars now and keep the date open. Let me know of any conflicts right away as parts will be assigned soon. We are eager to begin preparations for leading worship as December will be here before we know it. During the coming weeks, all students will learn songs selected to reinforce their message. Students will also have opportunities to try various roles in the service, such as special drama, music, or “behind the scenes” parts. Part of our Memory Work assignments will shift focus to learning songs and lines. Students will also have an opportunity to share their special musical talents. Any student who has had two years of music lessons or is in the Concert Band may offer to play for the services. Selections must be: 1) sacred music related to the Advent or Christmas seasons of the church year 2) practiced and ready to audition the by the second week of November. Scholastic book orders Next order is being placed on October 26th! Make sure to order online through our class!
