Weeks of 12/12 and 12/19

I hope everyone was able to attend last night's Advent service that was led by the sixth through eighth graders.  They shared their talents beautifully, and hopefully, that helped all of us to calm our busy minds and refocus on the meaning of this often hectic season.  We lost some instruction time to prepare for that service, but we are jumping right back in to get some things wrapped up in time for our Christmas break.

Seventh graders have been working on their creation projects as a culminating project for our creation vs. evolution unit.  Projects are due on Wednesday, and we will begin sharing them at that time.  Students have had two class periods to work on this in school.

Eighth grade is finishing up Chapter 13 - possibly by break time.  We are learning about chemical bonding.  We are also learning a programming tool that will be used to share some of our new chemical knowledge sometime after Christmas.

May your family enjoy a safe, peaceful, and blessed Christmas holiday!
