Week 13: Kairos of God

What's new?

 

 But when the fullness of time had come, God sent forth his Son, born of woman, born under the law,  to redeem those who were under the law, so that we might receive adoption as sons.

In Religion we began our New Testament study looking at God's perfect timing (in Greek: Kairos) as 
we learn about the birth of the Savior. The world under the Roman Empire was readied for the spread
 of the Good news! Students are being encouraged to partner and create devotion
time to help grow in their relationship with God.  What a wonderful opportunity to share stories 
of your own faith walk with your child!
  
In Social Studies, we are exploring the Human Environment interaction with the Great Lakes 
Ecosystem. Students held a lively debate today on the state of the lakes and will go on to investigate
 other environmental issues around the U.S. and Canada. In Literature, we are working with  
character development and motive. T-Math finish onestep equations next week and G-Math  
continue their pre-fraction work with Prime Factorization and GCF.. in SCIENCE , students have 
been studying cells. Information on their CELL PROJECTS came home. Be sure they show you!!! 
Parent signatures due MONDAY.

You can help set a Guinness World Record


The World Sport Stacking Association is attempting to set a new Guinness World Record this year for 

 “The most PICTURES of people Sport Stacking”.  Due to Covid restrictions and the impossible 

task of disinfecting our stacking cups after each use our First through Sixth graders will not be working

 on our stacking skills at Zion.  However, if you have Sport Stacking cups at home I encourage you to 

pull them out and submit some photos of you stacking. The event takes place between

November 18th - December 2nd


Register TODAY! Visit https://stackup.speedstacks.com/register/ and sign up for this year’s event!


Please email msteinbacher@zionharvester.org if you’d like to borrow a set of cups in order to participate. 


If you’d like to purchase official sport stacking equipment go to Speedstacks.com. They often have some 

great deals around Thanksgiving.
