Week 30 Dissection time and May Field Trip

You get 2 weeks of bloggers!  Due to our internet  being out at Zion last Friday, I missed Eddie's article from last week:

BY EDDIE (Because I can use the Offline and no one else can)

This week, we raised about $1200 for Bethlehem. We started a new art project: we make objects

 then draw a little part of it, like through a keyhole. We’ve been continuing our Research Paper

 on our endangered animals. We’re up to doing the First Draft for it. This week, we tested what environments worms preferred in science. We’ve been learning about invertebrates. The Internet

 was down all day on Friday, so we didn’t do as much as planned.

On Monday in literature we started our poetry unit. Tuesday/Wednesday, the first draft for

 our English research papers were due. Wednesday, Mr. Stock led chapel. So far, we have raised about $2,700 for Bethlehem’s “taking Jesus to the streets” weekly block parties they 

are doing for the next 2 months. Thursday, we did Toga during P.E.. For art we are starting 

a chalk pastel project.

 From Mrs. R:

Students had a surprise going up to the Science Lab and have guest teacher, Mrs. Crenshaw (7th grade), instruct them on dissecting worms.  I heard great things from her about this group's politeness and following directions.  They did great!

**Save the Date**

6^th grade Field Trip:   Fri. MAY 12, 2023

         Our last field trip will be an extended day trip to Perry County, Missouri.  We will have an opportunity to learn the history of some of the earliest Lutherans to settle in America and how Veterans are honored. Our trip will take us to:

 Missouri National Veteran’s Memorial.

 

  This is a newly built exact replica of the D.C. Vietnam Memorial.  Students will learn about honoring veterans of all U.S. military branches.

Lutheran Heritage Center Museum

 Here we hear the history and examine artifacts of early Lutheran immigrants, see a Lutheran church from the 1800s and the first seminary in the country,.

 Saxon Lutheran Memorial

  This is an historic homestead where will have an opportunity to not only learn about colonial life, but also try typical chores of the early pioneers on .   Some possibilities are churning butter, laundry, grinding corn, and trying carpentry tools.
