Week 26: Grandparents Day

From the class blogger:

By: Adam March 2, 2023

 We did not do a lot throughout the week, but on Wednesday 

we went to chapel and later in the day we went to the Scholastic

 book fair, and got to see some of the new books. On Thursday 

we went to 4th grade’s living wax museum, and saw all the 

different famous Missourians. And on Friday we had 

Grandparent’s Day so that we could have time with our relatives 

and friends.

From Mrs. R

 We had a wonderful visit with grandparents and special guests, even on this soggy day.  Games and activities were hopping across campus.  Our 7th graders led us is a special worship. Through drama and sign language we saw the importance of depending on God to provide for us despite the devil trying to pull us down.  It was a powerful reminder that Fear is a Liar, but the God of Truth tells us we are his  precious children.  

 
Guests:  Thank you for taking the time to spend this important time with these kids.  These are the memories that will last!

 Disability Awareness Month

After our Helen Keller study in Literature, we took 4 days out this week to learn about disabilities.  Thanks to our guest speaker, Mrs. Preusser (Mrs. Donner's mom) we learned about hearing loss and her job teachiing with children as the learn to adapt to hearing aides and cochlear implants.  Kids simulated blindness, deafness, and learning disabilities this week to gain an appreciation and understand of other uniquely gifted, but challenged folks.
