Mark 10:45 For even the Son of Man came not to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.
This year through our theme, we will explore how God calls us to care. We are not to have a "Me First!" attitude about life, but to look for opportunities to be a servant. Yesterday, we started breaking down our theme song into key phrases that show what "to love tenderly" involves, looking for a Bible character as a model of "serving one another", showing "hope to the hopeless" and "walking humbly with God." I pray this school year gives you a renewed opportunity to grow in your faith: as a parent, as a student, and as a family.
I am eager to partner with you in both educating and nurturing your child this year. I encourage families to talk about lessons we learn, especially memory verses and Religion lessons. I look forward to seeing you in worship at Zion or hearing about your worship experiences at your home church as our class grows together in our faith walk. (Check out the Religion tab above to see where we will start in our Bible studies.)
What's New in Grade 6?
We had a great start! Lots and lots of "here's how we do things" with kids learning what books to take to class, how to organize a binder and a desk, and how to use a planner. The students have been good listeners and getting right into the routine. They have been wonderful friends to our new students in grade 6!
One of my big goals this year is for students to become more independent in their learning. This news blog will update you on current happenings, but in 6th grade I no longer publish spelling words, memory assignments, or tests. These are things your child will be tracking in their assignment planner. If an individual student needs more organizational help, I will work one-on-one with that student. I plan to publish this blog weekly on Fridays. (In reality, it may be Saturday mornings some weeks!)
