The 7-8th graders and I had a deep conversation at the end of science class today. Our topic was evolution, followed by 'what do Christians believe?' and 'is there any part of evolution Christians can accept?' At the end of class, some were curious what to do if/when their high school teachers teach about evolution. Do you speak up about your beliefs? Keep quiet? What answer do you put on your science test if they ask how old the world is? Class went about fifteen minutes over while we talked about all that stuff. I think they had some peace of mind about what to do when they go out 'in the real world' after ILS.
The 5-6th graders struggled with the internet today... Two groups were presenting their powerpoint projects about a country in the world. (We spun the globe and wherever my finger landed that's what country they researched). One group didn't have any troubles. Their screen was a little laggy, but they knew about that from practicing, so they just waited to talk after they switched slides.
The other group's powerpoint didn't show up on the screen for me when they screen shared. I tried logging in on my laptop and that worked better. Other kids had the same trouble, including one of the students presenting. His internet was super laggy and slow, and it took so long to get it to work that we ran out of class time. So we're going to push their presentation off until Monday. They were bummed they couldn't go today, but hopefully the internet will be faster in a few days. We can hope, right?
