Whew! This week just flew by, but we did have a good week. We have been practicing our play (which we will present on Feb 6th at 6:30 pm). Several of the 7th graders have speaking parts, and those that don't have the super important job of making everything and everyone look amazing the night of the play. If you know that your student is unable to be there Feb 6th, please let me know ASAP, as trying to fill roles gets more difficult the closer we are to the performance.
IMPORTANT INFO FOR NEXT WEEK We are celebrating National Lutheran Schools' Week all next week. Students will have opportunities to dress up, participate in school-wide activities, and donate to Sheltering Wings and our playground equipment purchases through Penny Wars. See Ram News for all the details! What are we learning? Religion: we have been talking about Confession and how God speaks to us through our neighbors and pastors when we seek forgiveness from others, and when we forgive others who have sinned against us. Science: we finished up diffusion with a quiz today, next week we will discover how diffusion is how cells are then able to get the materials they need to produce energy for life functions. This is called Cellular Respiration. Health: we are continuing to talk about Emotions. The students are discovering how we are able to perceive and respond to non-verbal forms of communication and emotions. We also discussed the idea of color psychology-how certain colors are associated with certain emotions and how we can maybe use that to help us regulate. Ask your student about the classes they have outside of our room too! :) I pray that you have a restful weekend! In Christ, Nicolette Mierow Coming up this week: Sunday, January 26th - Sunday February 2 - National Lutheran Schools' Week See Ram News for all the dress up days and Penny Wars information.

We had a good week in 7th Grade, even though the weather went from spring-like back to winter. Something to make sure gets on your calendars: February 6th, is our Middle School Drama Night. The 5th - 8th grades will be presenting their plays starting at 6:30 pm.
IMPORTANT INFO FOR NEXT WEEK Monday, is Martin Luther King Jr. Day, and we DO NOT HAVE SCHOOL. So enjoy the long weekend everyone! What are we learning? Religion: we have been talking about how worship and praise are not just things we do on church days. Thank you again, parents, for sharing your responses to the "interviews" with your student. We had really great conversations about life as a Christian. Science: we completed a lab with eggs, in which we explored how water moves into and out of a cell. Health: we are continuing to talk about Mental Fitness. The students turned in emotional selfies, in which they depicted three different emotions. This week, students are delving into how our emotions relate to God, and even how the devil can manipulate us through them. Students are continuing to read their books as well. Ask your student about the classes they have outside of our room too! :) I pray that you have a great weekend!
