7th Weekly Update

Christ Our Builder 

 

 Highlights of the upcoming weeks —

  1. Graduation is coming!!  As the 7th grade class hosts the event, please be in touch with Mrs. McCarthy and Mrs. Hernandez in order to help in any way possible.  It’s an exciting time for the graduates, and it will be for our kids next year, too.  🙂
  2. Just a reminder about our Closing Service on Friday, May 30th:  As in the past, we will worship outside on the west lawn unless weather dictates otherwise.  Please also know that all chapel offerings throughout April and May will be going toward supporting the Comfort Dog ministry through Lutheran Church Charities.  You may still have your “mite” box - a small box to collect change.  If you do and would like to use it as a way to contribute, please consider bringing it to chapel with you.

Reading

We’re continuing with The Wednesday Wars. We’re exploring the themes in Shakespeare that our author Gary Schmidt weaves into the novel:  that we are made for more than power and that inside each of us, we can make a positive difference in the world.  Through Holling, we’re also learning about the history of the 1960’s.  Expect nearly daily reading, comprehension checks, and written responses.  As we finish the novel, we’ll demonstrate the theme(s) through a brief project - posted on Google Classroom.  We’ll be presenting them on Wednesday.
