This week we had Monday off due to President’s Day. We had two tests and a pep rally on Thursday.
The basketball players and the cheerleaders left on Friday to go to state. We also had jump rope

What's Happening in 6th Grade
Here's a few topics we are exploring:
Religion - Humiliation and Exaltation of Jesus!! That's looking at Christ's nature as true God and true Man, how he fulfilled the Law perfectly to be our substitute in His death and in glory defeated the devil in His
resurrection.
S.S. Our Asian studies move from looking at the IT industry that connects American businesses to India, to now exploring population issues. Next week our class will simulate the rate of world population growth and we'll
now use China as a way to look at how countries meet the challenges of large and growing populations. As demographers
we will use a lot of statistics, including 2019 country data from our Junior Scholastic World Almanacs.
Math - G-Math are in the heart of ratios and percents. T-Math is getting into the meat of fraction operations. Grocery
shopping for the best buy, looking at percent discounts, and cooking (doubling recipes) are great hands on ways to
reinforce these concepts at home.
Lit. - Our nonfiction unit has included essays on African Americans in baseball and Jackie Robinson. We took time to study a bit of the Civil Rights Movement as we explored informational articles. I hope you take the
opportunity to talk about important moments in history and how we are all equal in God's eyes. After our Civil Rights video we watched Speak Life by contemporary Christian artist, Toby Mac.
We read a Lincoln biography now (Happy Birthday, Abe!!) and are comparing the style of writing to an autobiography of author Beverly Cleary (The Ramona author is 103- thanks researcher, Braden, for this fact)

It’s a Jungle Out There! Lions and Tigers and Books, OH MY!
Zion’s Annual Book Fair is coming up! All proceeds will benefit the Zion School Library. This year, our All For Books donations will assist the pre-school at St. Luke’s Lutheran Church in St. Louis.
After great success last year, we will again be offering the Book Fair eWallet. Many parents don’t carry cash anymore, or have cash on hand when their child delivers the news… “Mom! Dad! It’s Book Fair day!” The eWallet is a digital payment option offered through Scholastic that gives parents a safer alternative to sending their children to school with cash. It’s easily funded using a credit card, but with the convenience of setting a spending limit. See the flyer in Friday Folders on how to set up your students’ eWallet by visiting: http://www.scholastic.com/bf/
This must be done prior to their class’ visit to the book fair in order to be utilized.
Book Fair Hours
Wednesday, 3/4 (Class Visit Day/) 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.
Thursday, 3/5 (PS/ K Grandparents Day) 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.
Friday, 3/6 (1-8 Grandparents Day) 8:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m.
Calling All Volunteers!
It’s time for our annual Zion Book Fair! We are excited for a Roarin’ Good Time! We would love any and all help you can offer to help make this year’s book fair a success! To Sign Up, Click Here
Thank you!
