Week 6: Weather, Magnetismm, and Walkathon coming!



From the class blogger Kayla and Grace N
Monday we had a fire drill, Tuesday was just a normal a day, Wednesday we had a magnetism lab, we played with magnets, Thursday we had a play in social studies, we acted like we were weather people and reporters, Friday we got to use pastels for art with our glue fish. What a fun week!

From Mrs. R. - Our continuing unit in Religion is looking at the structure of the Bible.  This week we covered Penteteuch and God's covenant promises, History books and God's continued faithfulness, and Poetry/Wisdom - reflecting the emotions God created in us and His words of guidance.   We discovered some pretty unusual proverbs today too!

We did a news cast in social studies!


Costumes reflected the climate zone and our personalities!

 Parent Technology Night

We were blessed with a wonderful speaker last night at our PTL gathering.  The biggest take-aways I had as a parent from Lee Crockett's information are 1) to be Informed (know what my kids are accessing and doing online).  2 ) be Interested (talk about their favorite sites, their conversations with friends in texts, play games with them) and 3) that devices stay In View.  Remember the old days when the family phone had a cord to the wall in the kitchen?  The family TV was in the living room?  Everyone could observe, listen in, be aware, and most importantly discuss what was happening in our lives. Our parents shared their morals and a faithful world view with us.  With limits on usage for both kids and adults, devices can be used in responsible and respectful ways.  I'll share other tips in the future as I reflect more on the information we learned.  Thank you PTL and all involved in making this a fun and informative night!


Walkathon this Friday!!
Students will remember - but just so you know, Friday is a dress down day for our Walkathon.  Students may wear athletic bottoms (appropriate length on shorts please) and Bobcat Spirit shirts. The walkathon will occur in the afternoon.

   *wear sunscreen
    *may bring hat, sunglasses, water bottle, lanyard for mileage card
    *Lunch in classroom - no peanut butter please!  (Hot lunch still available)

Students, keep gathering pledges and consider a self pledge!  You may wish to ask some of those Zion friends who no longer have kids here to sponsor you as well.  If you need a new or additional pledge sheet, see me on Monday.
