Week 11 Red Ribbon Week

 

10-25-24

By: Reese and Lucy

This week we had a birthday. It was Ethan's birthday and we had oreos.

 It was also spirit week/red ribbon week. On Monday it was pajama day,

 on Tuesday it was movie character day, on Wednesday it was superhero 

day, on Thursday it was 1980’s day, and on Friday it was super spirit day. 

The STUCO people went to teach other grades in the school about drugs 

and being drug free. They put together a slideshow for different grades. 

We had Josh and Ethan teach our class about drugs and we did a fun

 jeopardy.  The STUCO also counted up the people that dressed up for

 battle of the classes. Elle won the raffle prize with a cup and some other 

fun things. A bunch of the STUCO members said STUCO stuff on the announcements to remind us what to dress up for, and other reminders to

 stay drug free. Hayden said the prayer on the announcements on

 Wednesday and he did amazing. He was loud and clear. We had a quiz

 on english and a quiz on social studies, on Friday. Overall it was an 

amazing week in 6R. Thank you for checking up on the blog. :)

Happy Reformation!  Blessings to the Confirmands!

On October 31, 1517, Martin Luther posted 95 theses on the local church "bulletin board" calling people to debate the truth of the Bible and how the church had strayed from that truth.  Our class is learning about Luther's life as well as the amazing discovery he made:  WE ARE SAVED BY GOD'S GRACE  - not by good works or money or penance.  This led to a reform of the church and the creation of Protestant churches around the world.

We have read a biography of Luther written as if Luther visited

sixth  graders at a Lutheran school and ate lunch with them for the week, modeled after the Table Talks Luther actually had with students for much of his life.  We are also using clips from the Luther Movie made in 2003.  Though there are some fictional details added, the heart of the movie shows Luther's struggle to understand God and share with the world about God's love.  (Note if you watch- the movie is PG-13 for some violence and language.  Sections for class have been selected as appropriate for students and our study.)  We made our modern "social media" videos hat students used to spread Scripture that refutes the false teaching of Luther's day.

We will wrap up our Reformation study next week!

This weekend our eighth graders at Zion Church are being confirmed in their faith at the 10:30 worship service. Blessings as they confirm the faith they have recieved by God's GRACE!
