What an amazing time we had serving God and leading worship this week!! I am so proud of these young people and all the roles they took - art, costuming, musicians, choir, helping each other memorize songs. It was truly a team effort! Thanks to all who were able to attend our worship this week. We pray the message helps your focus this season. It was a wonderful celebration! Our class has been using an Advent trivia calendar, Advent wreath, and devotions to help continue this season of reflection in our classroom.
What's happening in 6th grade:
Is the conversation at your house like mine? "How was school?" "Fine." "What did you do today?" "Nothing." Getting middle schoolers to share is tough. Here's what's been happening in our subjects:
Religion - A visit with Pastor Fieberkorn to see our sanctuary and the O.T. tabernacle
Math - All about 3D shapes and surface area. Ask your child what a "net" is!
English - Punctuation and the use of commas - treasure hunt style!
Science - Plant and Animal Cells
S.S. - North America geography and our countries today - researching advantages/disadvantages of energy sources
Art - Christmas Canvas project
