Week 15

Volleyball Girls Go to State!
I am very prod of the A1 Girls' volleyball team (both as a teacher and a coach) for landing in third place at the LSAM tournament this past weekend.  Here are some great pictures from the weekend:

Thanksgiving Dinner Boxes:

• Our class spent some time with the pre school and kindergarteners; they were on a scavenger hunt for Pete the Cat's shoes!  We had a blast and gained some respect for those kindergarten teachers :) "How do they keep them from running away?!" - 7th grader

 Thanksgiving Dinner Boxes:

• The Student Council Officers delivered Zion's annual food donations to the Seminary this Friday.  November's chapel offerings were used to purchase turkeys, dinner rolls, pans, etc. and were added to the abundance of food brought in by the student body.  Every year the Seminarians are blown away by the generosity given to them.  After delivering the 20 Thanksgiving dinner boxes we moved down to the Seminary Food Bank were we restocked their shelves with the overflow of food given at Wednesday's chapel.  What a cool experience for me to see Zion students leading a service project!!

Academics:

• Student were busy this week, and last, creating timelines of Muhammad's life as well as timelines of their own life.  It was fun to learn more about the these awesome students!
• Students are currently working on designing and creating their Christmas wreaths.
• We are starting "A Christmas Carol" in Literature class; students are excited to act out their roles (props & costumes are encouraged!).
