Week 19: Merry Christmas

From the class blogger: Ryan

This week we had a mixed P.E. We had a choice of playing dodge ball or volleyball. On Wednesday the 1st and 2nd graders lead chapel with the theme of "Christmas Around the World." On Thursday we had a mystery to solve. We were against 6P to unlock a box with 6 locks on it! Then on Friday we watched a movie and the 8th graders and kindergarten lead chapel. We then had a Christmas party! Then we went home at 12 o'clock since we had a half day. Overall we had a fun and entertaining week.


From Mrs. R:

It's been a fast paced week, with end of the quarter tests, Disciple poster presentations, watching The Nativity Story in Religion, and a bit of fun mixed in.  Today we had a special Christmas worship led by our 8th graders and Kindergarten.  Grandma knew best on how we need to focus our thoughts on the true meaning of Christmas.  Ask your child how the different characters in the Nativity story fit with the modern family and their holiday troubles.   
 
I pray you and your family are able to have a restful and worshipful holiday.  Jesus came to bring peace, love, and joy.  May we reflect the wonder of knowing He saves us!

Merry Christmas!
Mrs. Riemenschneider 






This week we had gym with 6R and 6P! We also got to play either dodge ball or
 Volleyball!

We played different type of volleyball too.


WE HAD A LOT OF FUN!!!











On Thursday we had a mystery to solve. We were trying to unlock a box with 6 locks on it!


A Breakout involves multiple puzzles requiring creative thinking and teamwork
A blacklight pen solved this puzzle!




Here they had to figure out to count the colored gum pieces to find the code for the lock

We were also against 6P trying to unlock it first.


In the end we did unlock the box before them and we won!



Thanks Mrs. T for a fun Christmas party
