What a GREAT Friday

Hello Middle School Families,
Today has been a great day.  As we celebrate Good Friday, I pray that you too find some time to reflect on what Jesus did for you and all people on the Cross.
The 6th grade started the day getting together with our buddies in 2nd grade. We did an Easter craft with different color beads and a pipe cleaner to make a bracelet. The colors went with a poem.
Red is for the blood He gave.
Green is for the grass He made.
Yellow is for the sun so bright.
Orange is for the edge of night.
Black is for the sins we've made.
White is for the grace He gave.
Purple is for His hour of sorrow.
Pink is for the New Tomorrow.
A prayer, colorful and bright, a promise of a brand new life.

For my two absent kids, don't worry, I made you one and put it in your desk.
We also had a special Chapel to remember what Jesus did on the cross. Our kids (6th-8th) were great examples to those around them. Many of the 8th graders had a special task of reading from Scripture. The worship team sang a song. All of the 8th graders were in a "Stick Skit." It was wonderful. It should how we are the reason that Jesus went to the Cross. It also showed Him rising again and use turning back to worship him. The 8th graders did a wonderful job. I was able to record there last practice before the service. I have it on my phone and will try to figure out how to share it with you all. We can't put it on the website as we don't have permission to publish the song.
After Chapel we went back to our rooms to finish the conversation. The teachers read from Scripture the resurrection of Jesus and women finding him.

In Science, we have finished with Sound waves and mechanical waves in general. From here we go on to Electromagnetic Waves. We will start with light waves. Mr. Munster and I are working on a lab in which they will wear different colored glasses. We will then show them different colored paper and have the write down what they see. It will be a good one to show them how color affects light.
In Math, my class will finish the chapter on Pythagorean's Theorem in the coming week and start studying for the test.
In Bible, my class will take a quiz on Tuesday. They are all working on a studying guide for each other. We will then continue to look at Daniel during the time of captivity.
In History, we will finish our study on Mohenjodaro early in the week an move to learning about Hinduism.

I want to remind everyone that Graded papers are also a form of communication. Today I found many graded papers in my recycling bin. This is frustrating. Many of the students tell me that parents don't care. I find this hard to believe. If you wouldn't mind talking to your child about your expectations on graded papers. If you really don't care, could you please at least have them come home and recycle them there. Thank You

We look forward to a great, long weekend.
Blessings on your Easter.
His is risen
