This week, both history classes studied the Protestant Reformation. They learned about the wrong-doings that were going on within the Catholic church, they learned about the major figures of the Reformation (especially Martin Luther) and how it affected all of Europe. The Reformation was a very big deal. Today, we should be thankful for the brave men who risked their lives to expose the truth and bring glory to God. The Upper Grammar class made some really neat collages, full of facts and pictures relating to the Reformation. The Lower Grammar class was busy making awesome coats-of-arms. The kids carefully chose their colors, design and words to express the character of their families. Downstairs, the Five in a Row class was having a blast! They read the adorable Christmas story, "Jesus, Me and My Christmas Tree." When reading this story, the kids learn the real meaning of the Christmas tree--from the lights to the ornaments to the star on top! Then they made edible Christmas trees out of ice cream cones, frosting and M&M's. And, if that wasn't messy and crazy enough--they also made precious Christmas trees by painting with their handprints. What a messy, fun and sweet class!
