Week 17: Field Trip Friday

Advent - What a wonderful time to be teaching and preparing with the students!  Even as 6th graders, students are enjoying lighting the advent candles and "opening windows" on our Advent Trivia Bulletin Board calendar.  Each day we focus on the Savior of the Centuries, who is brings peace, joy, and comfort in this time and for all time.  Whatever your holiday traditions, seek to point out the Love of God coming into this world to live among us and to be one of us - He know our struggles and rescues us from our sins.  He will come again when the time is just right to take us to our heavenly home.

Field Trip Friday 12/16

Chaperones can meet us at 8:45 as we prepare to board the bus for the MO History museum.  Students have been enjoying the read aloud of The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane, a story about a china rabbit and his adventures as he discovered the importance of love.  We are eager to learn more about toys too!

Reminders:
COLD LUNCH - we will eat in the Forest Park visitor center.  A lunch box will be easiest to identify and distribute lunches quickly.  Also to bring home leftovers. : )

RED Zion shirt and jeans or standardized dress bottoms.  Jacket for the cold.

Book Orders

I will place the book order Sunday evening.  They will be back in time for Christmas.  If you are interesting in me setting aside a gift, just email me!  (link on the right)

Christmas Art

Students worked hard all month on our Christmas canvas projects.  Just a few photos (shh - they came home as Christmas gifts for many of you!)

In art the rest of the month students projects will be inspired by Pop Artist Roy Lichstenstein and the art of an American classic, Norman Rockwell.
