Week 22: Acting!



January 20, 2020- January 24, 2020
By: Sean T. 
Welcome back! This week we worked hard on our texture burgers. We also worked adverbs and
 have been studying hard for Monday! National Lutheran Schools Week  is coming up and on  
Monday we’ll have casual day. Tuesday we will have crazy weather day. Wednesday, we will have 
P.J. day and will eat pancakes. Thursday we will continue the week with Olympic day. Finally on
 Friday, we will have red out/ white out day were we can wear either all red, or all white! 
Remember to have a great weekend and goodbye!



2nd Step this week
Students continued learning about RESPECTFUL disagreement.  They learned about different communication styles:  Passive, Aggressive, or Assertive.  These tips are good for you to reinforce at home as you talk through different social situations your child finds themselves in.   How wonderful that God gives us the gift of forgiveness when we may be aggressive or disrespectful.  We can identify when we mess up and apologize knowing that God can reconcile our differences.


Sanctification
 Religion class is also seeing a lot of role playing and acting.  What does it mean to live the Christian life?  Students are studying Jesus' Sermon on the Mount and looking at how the Holy Spirit works in our lives to grow our faith and follow God.  That's the process of sanctification!  We were redeemed (sins paid for) by Jesus and now we have the Holy Spirit's help to follow Him.

What's your communication style?




Acting in Literature
Kids learned all about humor in language with idioms and puns.  We acted out scenes from Norton Juster's classic novel The Phantom Tollbooth.
Milo and Tock from The Phantom Tollbooth

The princesses Rhyme and Reason - since they were banished, meant the kingdom had no rhyme or reason

Our characters could not be deceived by the Terrible Trivium....





...or the Senses Taker




Awaiting our scene

Who's the princess now???

the evil demons could not catch up with our heroes!
