Christmas! 

We had a FANTASTIC Christmas celebration here at Bethlehem! We built gumdrop Christmas trees with our chapel buddies, participated in crafts, and had a fun party. 
We also had a blast on the bowling field trip! 
For math, the students worked on plotting a special Christmas picture on a coordinate plane.


In social studies, we went through an overview of U.S. history as we explore the U.S. Students used a World Atlas historical timeline to put together their own timelines of U.S. history.

Humanitarian Aid and Bible Review

It has been a busy week as we approach Thanksgiving Break! For social studies, students have been working hard on researching a specific humanitarian aid organization.

We also had a Bible test on Friday, and the students rocked it out during a Bible Jeopardy review game. For Final Jeopardy, the students were challenged to name all ten plagues. All groups did well, but only one group named all ten!

Minerals, Math, and Ice

We've had an interesting past few weeks despite the Snow Days! On a day after freezing rain, the kids enjoyed a recess of "ice skating" on the parking lot.  The 6th graders also spent time exploring the world's oceans through a partner desk atlas activity.  We went on another math scavenger hunt to review rates and ratios. This time, the students found my FAVORITE critter... bald eagles!  Finally, we studied mineral properties by calculating density using water and scales, finding streak using streak plates, and testing for hardness with Moh's hardness scale.

Last week of School!

We made it! There were lots of activities scheduled for the last week of school, and we really enjoyed our time together. First, the students acted out parts of the Bible story where Lazarus is raised from the dead. In addition, I had a great birthday celebration on the 4th! I am so thankful for all of the gifts and cards I received; the kids made my day! We even had a countdown to the exact time I was born (9:39 AM) :)  On Wednesday, we had a "Word Game" day where students played Boggle, Madlibs, Upwards, and Scrabble with a certain group. Students were able to rotate around and try out each of the games.  We also finished up our 3D figures math unit by measuring different figures and finding the surface area, volume, and other attributes of the solids. Students worked in partners for this activity. Students helped out Mr. Cox by pulling staples from New Testament booklets that are going to the jail ministry through Forgotte...
