THURSDAY

All that is left is the serving, the skating and the shouting. It was a good day
here at ZCMS in the 7th grade.
In my shortened class today all we did was a Bible lesson on "For Unto Us a Child is Born". I wanted to get that one in before Christmas for obvious reasons. II Corinthians 5:17-21 was due today, but I will gladly take it tomorrow before all the activity begins. Our next memory
is from Romans 3:23 and 6:23 which will be due on Friday, January 11. All the kids need for tomorrow is some cold cash for a lunch where ever their group is going, and for snacks if they want to buy goodies at the skating rink.
Well, this is it until next year. Have a wonderful break.

WEDNESDAY

One more down, and the natives are starting to get restless. (but still doing pretty good for a December 19). In Bible today we did our lesson on the overhead about the Song of the Vineyard. We compared Isaiah 5 and John 15. Our Geography assignment was pages 68-71, and answer questions 1,2,3 and 6 either on lined paper or email.
Our prayer country of the day is Vietnam, and our character trait is Sensitivity.

TUESDAY

Bible: Our lesson for the day is " The Holy One of Israel". A sheet was assigned and many had the majority of it finished in class.
Geography: We wnt over some notes I had on he overhead about the Rise and Fall of the Soviet Union. I wanted the kids to check their note assignment and see if there was material to add to theirs. I did not want them to just copy all I had on this one.
Our prayer country today is YEMEN.
Oour character trait is Initiative.

MONDAY

The last Monday of 2007, as far a school goes. WOW- it has gone by very fast.
Today we watched the movie, Animal Farm, by George Orwell. I show this when we study the USSR, and later when we study Germany. Ask if they got the underlying meaning and who the animals represented. The Geography assignment from Friday is carried on to tomorrow.
Our prayer country is China, and our character trait is Punctuality.

FRIDAY

Another week is over, dear Father let it be. I can hear the choir sing it.
In Bible today, we really only re-checked Isaiah 55: 1-7 in the Message version.
In Geography, we finished some notes on Imperial Russia, and then they were assigned to make their own notes on pages 60-65 dealing with the USSR. This will be due on Tuesday since I plan to show the movie "Animal Farm" Monday. this will take the majority of our time.
Our prayer country today was Israel, and our character trait was Humility.
Have a blessed weekend.

THURSDAY

In Bible we did an activity with Isaiah 55: 1-7. Some did it on Moodle, and some did a sheet.
In Geography we took a few more notes on Imperial Russia.
Time to head to a volleyball match, so here ends todays report.

WEDNESDAY

Wow! What a beautiful day in the neighborhood.
Our prayer country today is Iraq, and our character trait is Security, or the ability to base our life on something which can not be broken, rust or die. Sounds like Jesus to me.
In Bible today we took our short test. I did not hear any major problems or gasping for breath, so I think it went pretty well. We will begin Unit 5 on Thursday.
In Geography we took some notes on Imperial Russia. We do not take notes to often, but I still feel it is a valuable skill for kids today. Of course they take and kep them on their computer in Inspiration. check them out and see how they are doing.
