Week 14 Field Trip Fun (11/11)

 

From the Class bloggers:  11-7-24

By: Caleb and Kathryn

This week on Monday we did capture the flag in the gym because Lisa read 500,000 words

 in AR! On Wednesday we had chapel, BRING YOUR OFFERING! Thursday we had

 a quiz in english and in G math they finished their test, we also started cup stacking in 

P.E. Finally on Friday we had our field trip to Weldon Springs nuclear site, and we went

 bowling after lunch.

From Mrs. R

Thanks to the parents who helped make our field trip possible.  I can't wait to hear how it all went! Here are a few snapshots Mrs. Lee took.  Here is a  Google photo album for sharing pictures.

I appreciate all of your prayers for my father.  The surgery went very smoothly and he was able to return home the next day.  It was good to be able to stay with him the first few days to help him adjust.  

 

REMINDERS:

TJ's pick up TUESDAY 2-5 p.m. in the Commons

Veteran's Day chapel on THURSDAY 

Fundraiser: Who doesn't love Cane's? Zion is having a Fundraiser on Dec. 9 at Raising Cane's from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. Mention the Fundraiser at check-out for 15% of the proceeds to go to Zion!

When illness hits!

It's that time of year!   It's no fun being sick and especially no fun trying to do school from home. 

* Please email me and Mrs. Holtz if your child is ill and indicate whether you are able to pick up HW

*Books and materials are available at 3:00 in the school office foyer

*The Daily Assignment Sheet is where to find assignments  (link above and in GC- homeroom).  Note tabs at the bottom for the correct week and look for links to lesson slides, etc

 

If a child is sick multiple days,  I encourage them to work one day at a time (vertically) down the assignment doc to stay organized and complete one day's work at a time.  Not all assignments are digital, so not all are not posted on an individual student's Google Classroom homepage.  Remind your child to email teachers questions.    Here is more from our Family Handbook:

In general, when students return they should have prepared as a minimum the lessons due the first day of their absence. All lessons should be made up within the same number of school days as were missed, up to three school days. In special circumstances a parent may request a teacher or administrator to consider an extension. Prior to a planned absence, a parent may request advance assignments with the understanding that these assignments may not yet be available. Assignments that have been provided in advance are due on the day the student returns; otherwise the assignment is subject to late-work penalties.
