Week 13

From the class blogger, Kendyl

This week we started our big Christmas art project. We will display them in the main school building in December. We started practicing our advent parts. We had memory for the first three verses of our advent song "How Suddenly a Baby Cries."  On Thursday we had World Cup Stacking.  Today we held the Great Lakes Debate on the environment and pollution, invasive species, and habitat loss. 

(Kendyl ran out of time at homeroom to finish - so I added a few notes at the end there. : )

Thanks to Mrs. Murray and the scouts for helping us honor America's veterans and learn how we can share in their character traits of bravery, honor, courage, integrity.....

Field Trip - Dec. 1 - Wonder

We have special opportunity to join the 7th/8th grade to see the new movie Wonder on Friday, Dec. 1. The movie is based on the novel of the same name which is read by our 7th grade.   Themes in the novel are the importance of being kind to one another and sharing Christ's love no matter how people may be different than us.  Teachers will accompany students by bus.

NOTE:  our movie costs are covered by Zion activity funds, but a concession fee will be charged to your Smart Tuition.  This is a package for large groups and we will not have options at the concession stand.  If you do not wish your child to have the concession, contact Michelle Thomason mthomason@zionharvester.org our business manager.

OTHER REMINDERS:
