Christmas Assembly 2009
For
to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the
government will be on his shoulders. And he will be
called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting
Father, Prince of Peace.
December
18th was the last day of school before the Christmas
holiday. Students gathered for an assembly which
included a performance from the A Cappella Choir and
the Fife and Drum Corps.
Miss Morrow class recited the Christmas story.
Student sang traditional Christmas carols, including
the 12 Days of Christmas. The tradiational “Wrapping
of the Teachers” was held. This year the 3rd and 4th
graders won the competition, using all the wrapping
paper and tape first. The high school ESL students
desire an honorable mention with the most artistic
wrapping job. Mr. Bollen was wrapped by the 5th and
6th graders who had a disadvantage, due to Mr.
Bollen’s great height. Fun was had by all as students
enjoyed this joyous time of year.

Mrs. Hansen's Kindergarten Class
Even when kids play, they learn. The same can
be said of singing and learning especially if it
involves moving around rather than sitting still for
4 and 5 year olds.
In Mrs. Hansen's class students are learning
phonics, reading, addition facts, penmanship, the
Books of the Old Testament from Genesis to Daniel,
the Books of the New Testament from Matthew to
Ephesians, the seven continents, and states and
capitals. Mrs. Hansen's students have also
started working on Psalms 23:1-6.
Once students have memorized facts, verses and
stories, parents and teachers can lead kids in public
speaking activities. Students speak to the
class and showcase their great memory skills. They
also build their confidence at public speaking in
front of their peers and adults. This is an
excellent way to test students’ comprehension.
Even the most shy student is eager to share what they
have learned once they see other students performing
and earning praise.
The most important lessons for younger students are:
1) Be a good listener
2) Make eye contact
3) Speak clearly
4) Don't fidget
5) Speak loud enough for your audience
These are five lessons that will students them well
in any environment, classroom or profession.
