Class blog: Hughes and Ava
This week we did lots of fun activities.Sadly our walk-a-thon has been canceled due to the weather and rain of hurricane Helene. In math we are learning how to divide decimals. In literature we read another short story called The Circut, it's about a family of nine kids that have migrant to farm so they can keep food on the table.In science we are learning about the food chain and food webs which we got to create.In social studies we are talking about extreme weather events like tornados and hurricanes which we are creating a slideshow on historic events in the past like the Great Flood of 93’.We had such a great week and hope to have one next week! :)

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
