Hughes & Scott's News Report of the Week

 Class Blog from 6D

By Scott, and Hughes🫡

To start off our week, on Monday it was Mrs. Tomlinson's birthday. And school wise we have been learning in science about primary and secondary succession. In math, G has been working on the area of parallelograms and T is working on getting ready for the unit test, which has area and perimeter, division, and multiplication. 

On Tuesday, we read a book about a kid who is tasked to watch over a claim of land, but then some claim jumpers try to come to the land to steal the Gold on the claim. We also spent most of the morning taking pictures. Some were soccer pictures, student council, volleyball, strings, and school picture retakes. School wise, we got our Religion and English test study guide. In T math, we had a fall place value game, where we had to find out the place value of a number, and that number is a certain letter, and we had to spell out a joke.

On Wednesday, we had chapel in the morning. We played a game of “Who am I?” Where the pastor describes a teacher, and we have to guess who it is. And then he described Jesus as our one Savior. Then we started water coloring our Island Art. We have to use gradient shading to make the water surrounding our identity island look good. 

Thursday was a pretty normal day. In literature, we had to work on a newspaper, summarizing the story we read on Tuesday. We were also assigned some social studies review questions. In T and G science, we were drawing primary successions, and secondary successions.  

And that brings us to Fun Friday. We started off the morning doing an SEL day. We got to hear a song that Miss Dubberke picks out a christian song for us to hear every friday. And we talked about having empathy and watched a video on how long it takes us to step in and help when we are with multiple people.

. We also watched a Snoop Dogg song on affirmations. In literature, we had the whole class period to work on our newspaper. Then we went to gym and played a game where we throw dodgeballs at towers, and whoever knocks down three towers wins. 

And that concludes our week, and our blog. We hoped you enjoyed our summary of the week. Have a great rest of your day.🫡

Save the Date - Students Lead Advent Worship!

 

On Wednesday, December 4 at 10:00 a.m. and 7:00 p.m, grades 5 and 6 will lead

 the first Advent worship services at Zion Church.  This is a wonderful opportunity 

for our students as they help our congregation prepare for the Lord's coming.

Attendance is expected at both services, so please mark your calendars now and

 keep the date open.  Let me know of any conflicts right away as parts will be 

assigned in October. We are eager to begin preparations for leading worship as 

Advent will be here before we know it.

During the coming weeks, all students will learn songs selected to reinforce their

 message.  Students will also have opportunities to try various roles in the service,

 such as special drama, music, or “behind the scenes” parts.  Part of our Memory 

Work assignments will shift focus to learning songs and lines.  Students who play instruments will also have an opportunity to share their special musical talents. 

Please note:

1.       Students must be taking weekly lessons with a private instructor

2.       Students must not be beginners – they should already be fairly accomplished at their instruments

3.       Music should be from religious Advent or Christmas repertoire

4.       Students should speak with their private lesson teacher about choosing a piece

5.    Pieces must be PRACTICED. Be prepared to audition the second week of Novembe

This week we have started working on Canva with a fun project called soundtrack of my life. In this project we pick five songs that have a special meaning to our life. Next we got to make a cover for our album which has a special element from each song. Next we also started a canva project for science in which we got to research and make an info poster about any of the ten types of biology. Also we started a new fun art project called pop art. In this art project we make onomatopoeia in a comic book or pop like art style.  Another fun thing we did was adopting a Calf whom we named Benny. She is 1 month old and was born in Jefferson City, Missouri. We also this week  will be  having our second science quiz And for G math we will have our first math quiz today. Next in Physical Education we had The St. Louis Blues Street team come in to teach us hockey. This was an amazing and fun experience. Overall we had an amazing week and can’t wait to see what happens next week. 

2ND STEP

Thursday we began the Second Step program. The program focuses on skills that will help your child succeed in school and in life. These skills include:

• Empathy 
• Communication
• Perspective taking
• Respectful disagreement
• Assertiveness
• Emotional management
• Problem solving 

Students had a chance to consider their hopes and plans for middle school

 as well as consider the challenges ahead for this year. We will use a

Religion period twice a month to build on these social-emotional concepts 

through the eyes of faith.

Walkathon News

  Zion Lutheran Junior High Students and Staff 

 

Friday, September 27, 2024

In 2005 with the catastrophe of Hurricane Katrina, Zion Lutheran Junior High Students and Teachers hosted their first Walk-a-thon to raise monetary assistance for these victims.  Every year since the first Walk-a-thon, the junior high has hosted a fun afternoon for the 6th, 7th, and 8th graders filled with walking/running, socializing, treats, and a Christ centered goal to share our blessings with others through gathering donations for the cause.

This school year, Zion’s Junior High Students and Teachers annual Walk-a-thon will support  The Birthday Project which raises funds to provide children who are homeless with the opportunity to celebrate their birthdays.  https://www.thebirthdaypartyproject.org/

 

Look for an envelope that came home with your child today for information on how they can raise pledges or donations.   We look forward to an exciting day at the end of the month pledging our support for kids in need.
