Hey. hey, Grammarland!
What a week! 8th graders said goodbye to Narnia and hello to Edgar Allan Poe. Today we listened to James Earl Jones, Mr. Darth Vader himself, read "The Raven". So creepy. On Monday we presented our body biographies for The Last Battle. Here are Elayna and Veah showing off their excellent work.
My sweet 6th graders are reading The Jungle Book and finding that it is way better than any of the movies. Here they are with Kaa, the 30 foot long rock python. This one was created by my former student Evan Harrison when he was in the 6th grade. My students realized they were holding a precious relic!
Today the 7th graders discovered that similes and metaphors are easy to find when you look for them in Disney songs, and I showed them that they're in worship music, too. Sweet Thursday.
Wednesday we kicked off Operation Christmas Child! I talked about it a little bit in chapel, and Jackie and Elayna allowed me to volun-tell them to demonstrate how to pack a shoebox. I'll have shoeboxes for kids to take home soon. I'm so excited! Our Lee Christian goal is 600 boxes this year, and I cannot wait to see what God will do through us.
The FABULOUS Fall Festival is coming soon! Come back to school on Friday, November 5th for all kinds of fun! There will be food, inflatables, touch-a-truck, and more. The basket auctions are always amazing. Thank you to Chayton and to Liam for bringing gift cards for our basket! Also....if you make righteous chili, please enter our chili cookoff!
