End of 1st Quarter and Field Trip Fun!

We had a terrific field trip today and God blessed us with beautiful weather!  The students learned about local history, how to test soil samples, and enjoyed detecting radiation with Geiger counters.  We had TONS of fun bowling, too.  A special thanks our parent chaperones for taking their day to be with us.  See photos below.  We missed those friends who headed to Nationals for Cross Country early - good luck to you!!


End of the Quarter/Conferences

What's happening....

 Religion  - Martin Luther and the Reformation (see Religion tab above)

Literature: We completed our unit on Fiction/Nonfiction with a look at author's perspective, tone, inferences and symbolism.  We read a character sketch of Mark Twain written by his 13-year-old daughter, Susy.  This led into writing our own character sketches after viewing  The Prince and the Pauper.  (The kids loved this old 1937 black and white film!)  Now up:  Short Stories!

S.S.   We explored thematic maps and using global information systems which involve layering thematic maps to find information about physical features, climate, vegetation and how they affect population and economic activity.  Focus: US and CANADA world region.

Math -  Both math classes are exploring area.  We are learning how formulas are used.  T-Math - parallelograms and triangles, G-math -surface area.  Review those times facts!!

Offering update - We made it!!  Over $3100 in offerings were brought in the first quarter for Bethlehem.  This will purchase more than 60 new coats for kids.  October 26 and December and January offerings will go towards paying heating bills for families in the Bethlehem Lutheran Church  After School Care Program in St. Louis.  We have a goal of $2,000.  How wonderful it is to share our blessing with others!

November’s offerings will go towards purchasing turkeys for the Thanksgiving meals being put 

together by Zion’s Student Council for Seminarian Families.  We would like to provide 20 meals.

Thank you for helping to teach your child about generosity and ministering to others.  What a wonderful way to share Jesus with those in need.
