This week went by fast, in art we learned about an artist named Rockwell. He designed newspaper's front covers as a job. Since it is getting closer, and closer to Christmas we are decorating a picture that is inspired by his artwork. Science was awesome, we learned about how photosynthesis works and at the end played a challenging game of “Who wants to be a Millionaire?” In Literature we finished Among the Hidden, and we made a propaganda poster based off the book. Spelling is a bit unusual, we learned to use spelling in a different way, Vocabulary A-Z. Social studies took us on a trip far away when we learned about different cities and their growth. In English We learned about adjectives. In Math we learned about multiply ladders in T-Math and in G-Math we reviewed what we learned about this week to get prepared for our test! Next week’s memory is Genesis 3:15. We also celebrated a few birthdays, Alanna, Chloe W. and Jonas! Also a reminder that next week in Christmas Spirit week. We are starting it off with Deck the Halls which is basically just wearing red and green shirts, and school bottoms all week. Have a GREAT weekend! -Mrs. Donner’s Students, Avery and Alanna :D
We are certainly getting excited for Christmas. It is right around the corner! I loved seeing all of the Christmas sweaters today! They were so cute. Check out the pictures below. Christmas Service Project This year, 6th grade is sharing time and talents in our Christmas service project by creating Christmas cards for seniors. In all of our excitement in decorating our classroom, Advent devotions, and special dress up days celebrating together, we wanted to remember those who might be alone during this season. Pastor Haun, husband to our Early Childhood director, will be delivering our cards to residents at Laclede Groves where he serves as a Chaplain for Lutheran Senior Services. If you have a loved one who might like a personal card this year as well, let your child know and he/she can bring one home to mail. **Donations - do you have old Christmas cards that you wish to donate? We have been re-purposing cards as well as creating our own with collage art and watercolors. Send in any now or before you recycle them after Christmas, send them my way for next year! HOT CHOCOLATE MONDAY Thanks to PTL for sponsoring a special treat for our kids at morning recess on Monday. Please let me know of any allergy concerns.
