Welcome to Hiptown, USA (also known as "The Glacier"!)
Here you will discover what God has in store for you this week in both Bible-6 and English-6.
Recent news from The Glacier:
Bible 6: Philippians 4:6 is due Friday, March 23rd. Workbook ch. 23 should already be completed, and chapter 24 is to be completed by Friday, March 23rd.
English 6: No vocabulary quiz on Thursday, March 22.
Our Fourth Book Report is not due until the 4th quarter. Students may read any 6th grade level children's book (or higher) with a minimum of 200 pages. The due date is yet to be determined. The format of the report is just like that used for book reports #2 & #3.
Remember that every Friday is your Bible Verse Test, and that one Bible Workbook chapter is to be completed per week.
In English, we have our vocabulary quizzes every Thursday. Reading and Grammar assignments are to be completed as assigned. Each quarter, a book is to be read and completed for a book report project.
And remember! The Silent Speedball World Championship is in May, so be practicing and come to interleague sessions if you have the time during break!
***All-Star Week Finals Update!!!***---The top 32 boys and top 32 girls duked it out during All-Star Week, with the top 16 boys & top 16 girls qualifying to play in the first ever All-Star Week Final. Nick Kelley, who qualified as a substitute for Jan Zafar, won the Final in convincing fashion by besting Harry Mikaelian with a throw just to Harry's left where it is hard to catch. For winning, Nick received a Blue Ribbon, a homework pass, Pez Candy, AND the Official Silent Speedball for keeps!! A new ball will be constructed for the second half of the season. Here's the rest of the top players from the All-Star Week Final:
1st Place--Nick Kelley
2nd Place--Harry Mikaelian
3rd Place--(Tie) Erica Quevedo & Jonathan Shields
5th Place--Leila Meimandi
6th Place--Vanesse Perez
A special thanks to the Tomato Club and the Smackdown Club for sponsoring the All-Star Final!!
Remember that to participate in the SSB World Championship in May, you must maintain a 'C' average or better in each of Mr. Vandenberg's two 6th grade classes. Students on SSB Academic Probation must instead maintain a 'B' average for now on in their appropriate classes.
A special message from Mr. Vandenberg:
Why should I care about Bible Class? Since God created us to worship, glorify, and obey Him, and yet we have all fallen short and disobeyed our Creator, we are worthy of His judgment and punishment for our sins. Through the Bible, we learn of our God, and His message of forgiveness of our sins through trusting faith in the Savior, Jesus Christ, God's Son.
Why should I care about English Class? One of the most important skills in life is communication. God communicates to us through His word, the Bible, and through His Son, Jesus Christ. In life, we will need the basic communication skills of reading and writing so that we can share our wonderful ideas with others, and so that others may share their spiffy ideas with us as well! In English Class, we learn and improve these skills.
Caution!!: Beware of Tomatoes! :)
Tomato Corner: Pres. Kimberly Flavin, V.P. Samantha Martson, Sec. Janey White
Tomato Club announcement: Remember to return membership cards to Samantha on Fridays. If you need a card, talk to Kimberly.
From, President Kimberly
Is Tomato a fruit or a vegetable?? Plant experts consider tomatoes to be a fruit, but the U.S. Supreme Court officially declared that legally tomatoes are . . . vegetables!! Maybe there should be a recount! :) What do you think?
