Week 7: Extreme Weather

 

9/27/24 Class bloggers Logan and Nathanael -

This week we were supposed to have the walkathon Friday but it got canceled. So now it is going to be on Oct, 16. It got canceled because hurricane Helene came up from Florida and kind of hit us. So  we got a ton of rain so we couldn't have  it. This week in English we started a project about what you want to be when you grow up! In science we are learning about ecology-the study of the interactions between things in different ecosystems. We are studying extreme weather in social studies (how fitting a hurricane happens), and we are also starting a project about extreme weather. In english we are learning new jingles to help us learn the parts of speech here is one of them:

 

An adverb modifies a verb, adjective, or another adverb. 

An adverb asks, “HOW? WHEN? WHERE?”

To find an adverb: GO, (snap) ASK, (snap) GET (snap). 

But where do I GO? To a verb, adjective, or another adverb.

What do I ASK? HOW? WHEN? WHERE?

What do I GET? An adverb, man. COOL!

 

Memory was fine. Lit. We are doing a project about “the Circuit” , a short story we read.  The rest of the classes have been good this week. Some good news is that Maggie May Marrie got 603,000 words for AR!

Save the Date - Students Lead Advent Worship!

 

On Wednesday, December 4 at 10:00 a.m. and 7:00 p.m, grades 5 and 6 will lead

 the first Advent worship services at Zion Church.  This is a wonderful opportunity 

for our students as they help our congregation prepare for the Lord's coming.

Attendance is expected at both services, so please mark your calendars now and

 keep the date open.  Let me know of any conflicts right away as parts will be 

assigned in October. We are eager to begin preparations for leading worship as 

Advent will be here before we know it.

During the coming weeks, all students will learn songs selected to reinforce their

 message.  Students will also have opportunities to try various roles in the service,

 such as special drama, music, or “behind the scenes” parts.  Part of our Memory 

Work assignments will shift focus to learning songs and lines.  Students who play instruments will also have an opportunity to share their special musical talents. 

Please note:

1.       Students must be taking weekly lessons with a private instructor

2.       Students must not be beginners – they should already be fairly accomplished at their instruments

3.       Music should be from religious Advent or Christmas repertoire

4.       Students should speak with their private lesson teacher about choosing a piece

5.    Pieces must be PRACTICED. Be prepared to audition the second week of November.
