Third & Fourth Grade Music Class had a great time this week learning the values of different musical notes:   whole, half, quarter and eighth notes.   They walked out the beat - everyone a different note ending together at one measure.   Great fun with a visual learning experience.   Mrs. Stahl

Faculty Getting Ready for a New Year!

Today the students of Emanuel Lutheran's 4th grade class wrote poems inspired by the work of William Carlos Williams. We finished reading Love That Dog by Sharon Creech, in which Creech references Williams' poem "The Red Wheelbarrow". The class then wrote their own poems. These are just a few of the amazing poems that were written. Great Job 4th Grade!

Featured Artist

I was on Pinterest last night and saw this wonderful quote:

Some people are lucky enough to meet their favorite artists

 but I am lucky enough to teach mine!

Today I would like to share the art work of one of my favorite artists Michela.

I love teaching at Emanuel. Teaching at Emanuel allows me to grow in my faith and share in all of life's blessings with the students and their families. I am always grateful for the families that share children with us.  Our students are talented and bring a smile to my face.

Gilda shared her awesome musical talent by leading the music in our Thanksgiving chapel

Sharing our Advent spirit, 6th grade decorating our classroom!! We had Christmas playing 

Thank you to all the families!!

WELCOME TO THE CLASS BUTTERSCOTCH!!

6^th grade has a new class pet. A bear named Butterscotch. Butterscotch takes turns going home with a student for a week. The students and Butterscotch complete a real life math application and write the situation in the journal.

Alexandra took Butterscotch home after the Operation Christmas Child Chapel. Alexandra and Butterscotch calculated that if every child in the school contributed a shoebox and the requested donation of $7.00, Emanuel Lutheran School would send almost $400.00 to Operation Christmas Child. What a great example of many hands light work. Way to go Alexandra.

Aiden and Butterscotch went shopping for new video games.  He was showing kindness in purchasing a game for Kyle also. Aiden had a certain amount of birthday money and knew he wanted to purchase two games. He calculated the change he would receive. A two-step real life application. Way to go Aiden!! Math, writing and the Fruit of the Spirit!!

Hands on Science in the Middle School - The plates on the Earth move!!

6th and 8th grade have been studying Earth's Tectonic Plates, and plate boundaries. Feel free to ask any 6th or 8th grader about Continental Drift, and the three different types of plate boundaries. 

The 8th graders used yogurt, wax paper, and foil to simulate plate movement at the Mid- Atlantic Ridge; rising and cooling magma and are part of the sea – floor spreading.

The 6th graders used foil and their hand, modeled the 3 types of plate movements.  The students observed the various geological activity and landforms.
