From the class blogger: 

By Olivia

This Monday we had an ice day so we didn't do anything. Tuesday we had 

gym then there was band and strings.Wednesday we had chapel with the 

preschoolers and we learned about the Heart Challenge. Thursday we had

 gym, band, and strings again. Friday we got a new art assignment. 

 

 From Mrs.R

Here some of the units of study we are doing:

 

Religion - Discovering the role of the Holy Spirit.  (Ask your child if they know how the Holy Spirit is like a swiss cheese maker).  Students are reading parts of the Sermon on the Mount and creating real life application of how the H.S. works through our lives in original skits.

 

 S.S. - We completed the online Mission to India with webquests each day of Lutheran Schools week exploring the climate, geography, and culture of that nation.  Thanks to generous chapel offerings, we will be sending funds to support 9 youth camps sponsored by Lutheran Hour Ministries!  We are currently learning about the impact of monsoons on this region.

 

Lit - Nonfiction unit:  We read excerpts from Zlata's Diary, about the war in Bosnia. We read an article on Jackie Robinson and took time out to discuss the Civil Rights movement with documentary clips.  Next up a comparison of biography and auto biography with writings about Lincoln and children's author, Beverly Cleary.

 

Science - Check out the students cell creations below!

I highly recommend the Zion PTL Education night!! Amy Moss is a wonderful speaker with years of counseling experience.  I have heard her speak at several teachers' conferences and I always come away with new insights into both teacher and parent relationships with students.
