Whatever....

Our Champions for Christ building block this month is "Think the right kinds of thoughts." Yesterday in chapel, Pastor Jim shared with us what those right kinds of thoughts might be:
"Finally brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable - if anything is excellent or praiseworthy - think about such things." Phillipians 4:8

This week in music we will talk about listening to music that helps us think the right kinds of thoughts. There are a lot of messages in worldly music that are not focussing our thoughts on the right kinds of things. Spend some of your listening time listening to music that focusses on God and gets us out of "our own little world."!

6th Grade Science Assignment

See the 6th Science page for a link to our lesson and worksheet. Students should be finishing this tonight. They can check their work with the key on the last page.

First Whole Week

We have our first full week of school this week as our friends in public school head back. Hopefully we are starting to get into a routine. A few families still have some paperwork to get in --- Discipline Policy form, etc. Please turn everything in as soon as possible. Check the class pages for assignments and updates.

Thank Goodness it's Friday!

We had a great first week of school!
A few people still need to turn in their $5 art fee (this is to buy special supplies for the middle school artists to use) or their Discipline Policy Form, sports forms, emergency contact forms, ptl, etc. Let's get everything in as soon as possible. Thanks.

Learning more and more about the blog. I now have a video posted on the Music page and Algebra lessons on the Algebra page. Make sure you check them out...especially the Muppets video :-P Being able to post a link to presentations or documents will be a great tool when someone is absent and needs to look at the notes we took in class.

Hope everyone has a great weekend. I will try and get some of the sports information posted on here soon. There are a lot of tournaments and games coming up in the next week. For now check the Sports Calendar on http://www.zionwalburg.org/

Go Trailblazers !!!!
