Thanks to all the parents who helped make it possible for grandparents and special guests
to be here today. We had a wonderful time of fun and fellowship in the
classrooms. Students traveled as a family unit with all siblings and guests. I hope the sixth graders learned a little something they
never knew before. We had a lot of laughs together!
I wish I could do justice to describing the message the 7th graders had
for us in worship today. It was a dramatic interpretation of
The Ragman: all about Jesus taking on our sins and giving us his righteousness. The service climax was a song
done in sign language to honor Christ:
You are Our King. Praise
God for the wonderful witness of our young people!
Report Cards
will come home on Friday. Be aware that teachers are processing grades
and Sycamore may not be up to date. (What was I thinking giving all
those tests/quizzes/projects?? Oh yes - I love to see what the kids
have accomplished at the end of our units.) Enjoy this sunny afternoon. I'll grab my red pen and
a cup of tea...
And of course we all remember - Spring Break is approaching, March 20-24. Look forward to some special family time before we hit the big push of 4th quarter!
In Peace,
Mrs. R.

| Day 1: Disability Awareness |
 |
| Students learned what was helpful, and not so helpful about guiding a friend |
 |
| The task - wash hands in the bathroom and return to butter a cracker |
 |
| Finding the butter was more challenging that we thought |
 |
| Losing perspective of space and distance was uncomfortable |
 |
| Day 2: Simulating hearing loss - trying to read lips led to many funny interpretations |
 |
| Day 3: Had us discuss and simulate learning disabilities such as a visual and auditory processing, and dyslexia. We even got a feel for what our friends with Attention Disorders might have to battle. Check out "Misunderstood Minds" by PBS for some interesting simulations. |
