"Christmas Time is Here!"

Celebrating Christmas in our classroom:

 Working on our Christmas Carol Creative Writing Projects

 SPIRIT DAY!

We also packed 50 Baby Care Kits for Lutheran World Relief to send to countries in need.

 Christmas Scratch Art Projects

 Beautiful work 7th Grade :)

 Reliving the Holy Nativity Story from Matthew & Luke through social media.  Students each became a character from the Christmas story (Mary, Joseph, donkey, Inn Keeper, Angels, Shepherds, Wise Guys, etc.) and "updated" messages telling what was happening in their life. 

 Christmas Cookie Plates

 Above and beyond --- it's 3D!!

I wish everyone a very Merry Christmas filled with worship of our Savior and memories to cherish in the coming new year.  May God continue to pour out his blessings on us.

"A Christmas Carol"

After seeing "A Christmas Carol" performed by Lindenwood University students our class is enjoying reading & acting out this play in Literature class.  We have seen many similarities and differences in the productions.  Today, we danced with Fezziwig as Scrooge remembered his childhood!  Tomorrow Scrooge will be visited by Christmas Present and Future --- Will Scrooge's heart ever change?

Advent is HERE!

The winter season is here and so is the advent services here at Zion. As the coming of our Savior is drawing closer so is our waiting and wanting for Christmas to draw closer. Last week we started advent services with the 5th and 6th graders kicking off the advent season with a skit about preparing the way. This week the 3rd and 4th graders continued preparing our hearts while presenting the Christmas story.  We have had tests this week in: Social Studies, Spelling, and over the ten commandments. Also we are still taking donations for Lutheran World Relief as our service project. Soon we will be starting to put the packages together. The weather is getting colder and our desire for Christmas to come is closer at last.
