Monday, January 20^th to Friday, January 24^th, 2019

Weekly Challenge – How did the NO CHOCOLATE challenge go? It’s so good to practice building that self-discipline into our lives.  Our next challenge is to keep track of every time we speak negativity out loud. The procedure will be as follows:  if you catch yourself (or someone catches you) speaking negatively about anything, you will immediately replace the negative words with a positive truth declaration.  For example, if you say, “I can’t do Math!” You just need to stop and say, “That’s a lie.  I CAN do Math.” Or, if you say, “I HATE reading, “ you can replace it with something like this:  “I may not like reading, but I CAN do my best and I may grow to like it.” There is no one way to do this, but the spirit of the challenge is to help us realize how often we speak out things that are negative or untrue.  The score will come from keeping track (approximately) of how many times you have to replace negativity with positivity in a day.  If you show me the results from each day from Monday to Sunday next Monday, you get 7/7 no matter how many times you were negative.  

Gr. 7 Basketball  Practice – .  Boys will practice Wednesday from 3:15 to 5:00. Go SAINTS Go!!

Elementary Chapel – Wednesday, Jan. 29^th is the last time that grade 7’s will be attending Elementary Chapel until our “Graduation” Chapel in June.  We will be starting to join the Secondary Chapel starting Thursday, February 7^th.  We will be transitioning more and more into all things Secondary as this second half of the year progresses.  

Science Lab:  Thursday, January 30^th   While the Secondary is on Midwinter Retreat, we are going to use the Science Lab for the full day on Friday.  This lab is very hands on and can’t be duplicated, so please try to keep any appointments away from this date as participation and attendance is of utmost importance.  Plus, it’s going to be really FUN and memory making!

Bible Memory: Quiz on Friday, January 24^th 2Timothy 3:16,17 (NIV) All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, ¹⁷ so that the servant of God^[a] may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.

Google Slide Project:  Students have been working on making a google slide presentation on a noteworthy person who is a good role model.  We will start to show these presentations on Monday, January 27^th.  They should all be finished by Wednesday, January 29^th at the latest. 

Art Project:   Students will receive a mark on their second trimester report card based entirely on this ONE project in art. Students will basically choose to complete any project that falls under the wide umbrella term "art".  It should be something that takes between 3 and 10 hours. They can bring it in for us to see any time between now and March 3rd.
The project should be completed outside of school time, but if students want to work on it in class or use some supplies from our art room, they may.  The last 45 minutes of many of the next days in February will be opportunity for them to quietly work on their project while I read a book out loud to them that is connected to our Social Studies Unit.  (The Strength of His Hand by Lynn Austin) For more information on how it will be evaluated, please check out the blog.
