Thanksgiving week

Good Morning,
I hope your week will be a good one. Please remember that there will be no school Wednesday so teachers can finalize grades. If students have work to get in, it needs to be in as soon as possible.

Each year, classes sponsor a family for a Christmas box. This year we have a family of 4. Our family has a boy (4) and a girl (9). Please ask your child how you can support them as a family.

Today in Christian Studies class, I answered questions. I wrote these questions down in a letter that I asked the kids to take home a get a signature from a parent. This way I know that you saw it. I will add it to this post in case it doesn't come home.

The letter includes a short Bible quiz study guide. I had wanted it to be tomorrow (Tuesday) but we have a Thanksgiving Chapel I did not remember. The Chapel will take the place of our Christian Studies time. The quiz will be the Tuesday after break.

Good Morning Boys and Girls, (with Mr. Bauer’s head tilted at a 23.5 degree angel)

Please have a seat quietly so we can get going on our day.

We have several things to discuss and we are going to get them on paper so you won’t be confused.

1.       Jobs won’t change this week since we started late and we only have two days this week. Ellianna reminded me that today is Monday and tomorrow is Friday (kinda).

2.       Memory Verse (Psalm 4:8) will be due on Wednesday, November 30 (Happy Birthday Olivia)

3.       Bible Quiz on Moses: Well, I told you it would be Tuesday and had thought to have you all help me write it today like we like to, but… I didn’t realize or forgot there will be a chapel tomorrow instead of CS. So, we will have our quiz on Tuesday when we get back. We will put a study guide at the bottom of this page.

4.       Every year each class is given a family to bless at Christmas. This year we have a family of 4 with 2 children. A girl who is 9 that likes chapter books, Legos, science stuff, gel pens, play dough; and would like pajamas. Her favorites include purple, blue, and sports. Top/ coat size is 12, pants 12, and shoes 5. The boy is 4 and likes small toy figures, building things, and play dough. His favorites are blue, green, and orange. His top/coat size is 5, pants 4, and shoes 11. I would like everyone to consider giving something to this family. The family needs are blankets, sheets, silverware, place settings, and gift cards.

5.       This will be printed off. I would like you to take it home and have parents look at it. If they sign it home I will give you 9 extra points in any class I teach you. That could be a whole memory verse.

6.       Today we will have a little celebration.  For our History time, Mrs. Rhodes will come in and have a little harvest party/ end of History chapter party.

7.       We (you and I) want to have some field trips this year. However, I am not good at planning them. If a parent would like to plan a field trip, please email me and we can start to look at some things.

8.       Bible quiz. (also includes a little of Job)

a.       You should know the plaques in order and who they affected.

                                                               i.      And what did each one do (hail destroyed flax and barley, locusts ate the wheat)

b.       The question on Job will be to tell me the story in a few sentences (5-7)

c.       Remember how Moses was save by his Mom and who found him (Pharaoh’s Daughter)

d.       Probably the most important is how this story points to Jesus in the Passover.

                                                               i.      Jesus was a perfect sacrifice (without sin, blemish)

                                                             ii.      Israelites were slaves, we are slaves to sin

                                                           iii.      Lamb’s blood was spread on door, Jesus’s blood shed on the cross, we even talked about how the door frame can look like the cross with the blood

                                                           iv.      Death passed over the home of believers, through Jesus, death is defeated we will have life in heaven

                                                             v.      Freedom was won for the Hebrews, who were slaves no more, Freedom was won for us from sin, death and the devil, now we live free in Christ.

e.       As they were leaving the took gold and silver as payment for their work

f.        Led by a cloud by day and fire by night

g.       God saved them at the Red sea

h.       Moses purified the water with a stick and God fed them with bread that was dew (Manna)
