Week 15: Happy Thanksgiving, Welcome Advent

 ADVENT WORSHIP WEDNESDAY DEC. 2

Families:

Students have enjoyed some lighter work loads as we have been practicing music, narration, and drama to lead worship this Wednesday.   Pray for the message of salvation to ring clearly in our drama and songs!

 Times:  Wed. 12/2 -  10:00 A.M. (chapel with Zion students) and 7:00 P.M.     
 
Arrival for the evening services: Students are to meet in my classroom no later than 6:45 P.M. Pre-service musicians, a bit earlier.
 
Dress:  Students should dress nicely for both the morning service and the evening service.
                  Morning – standardized school dress (or costume)
                  Evening – standardized school dress or “Sunday best” -  avoid jeans and  
                                    clothing with writing 
 
After the evening service:  Parents may pick up students from the Welcome Center in church.
 
** Reminder: As students are leading worship, please refrain from photography during the service.  We would be happy to stage pictures after the worship service ends. 


What's Happening in 6th grade?

Here are two of our current units:
 
Social Studies - We have explored Human Environment interaction in the Great Lakes Ecosystem and held a class debate over whether things have improved since the 1969 fire on the Cayahoga River.  Students researched current environmental issues in North America and shared their findings through an online tool called Prezi by combining text, photos, and video.
 
Religion - We studied the OT tabernacle and the design of Zion's sanctuary and church furnishings.  The importance of the word "tabernacle" meaning to dwell with us as God lives with and guides his people.   Ask your child about our scavenger hunt Friday and our visit from Pastor Reitz.  Sorry, I left the camera at school.



HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

 God's blessings to you and your families this Thanksgiving. I am so thankful for each one of your children in my class this year. What a blessing they are to me!  Thank you, parents, as well, for the support you give to your children and to me. I hope you were able to enjoy this holiday week with family and friends!  Thank you for your generosity for our seminary families as well.

We are Blessed to Serve!
