We had a special chapel today for a pastor we have connections with who is moving to Africa in January to teach at the seminary. It was cool to see pictures of the places he and his wife will be living and working.
The 7-8th graders did a penny oxidation lab where they tried to clean pennies in various liquids. We used pine sol, windex, vinegar, peach juice, toilet bowl cleaner, sierra mist, mineral oil, and maybe some others. The cleaners worked the best, especially pine sol. Orange juice made it turn black. Ketchup started getting stuff off but it wasn't too noticeable.
The 8th graders went down to Mrs. L's room for bells with the 5th graders, so the 7th graders helped with cleanup. Afterwards, we played a new game I got for Word Work, which is basically Scattergories, but it's called 60 Second Slam!. It's hard to get many words in 60 seconds!
My shop class last night was fun. I was the only person who'd signed up, so it went quicker than the class typically does. My planter is about halfway finished; I'll go back Thursday to put the final pieces together. Tonight I'm going to our sister church's Advent service. Immanuel doesn't have Advent services for some reason.
