I welcome the students to be part of our conference if you would like them to be ther e. Notice that in our subject area section I mentioned that we would be reading “Courage at Indian Deep” for the next 2 weeks. These are short weeks of school, so we will not be doing a Spelling Unit, and we will be focusing on work revolving around the themes of this book – courage, bullying, and friendship. This book can be counted for Reading Log pages since we are reading the entire book. MEMORY WORK – CAN BE SAID ANY TIME DURING THE NEXT 2 WEEKS Who receives this sacrament worthily? *Fasting and bodily preparation are certainly fine outward training. But that person is truly worthy and well prepared who has faith in these words: “Given and shed for you for the forgiveness of sins.” * But anyone who does not believe these words or doubts them is unworthy and unprepared, for the words “for you” require all hearts to believe.

These words, “Given and shed for you for the forgiveness of sins,” show us that in the Sacrament forgiveness of sins, life, and salvation are given us through these words. For where there is forgiveness of sins, there is also life and salvation. *How can bodily eating and drinking do such great things? Certainly not just eating and drinking do these things, but the words written here: “Given and shed for you for the forgiveness of sins.” These words, along with the bodily eating and drinking, are the main thing in the Sacrament. Whoever believes these words has exactly what they say: “forgiveness of sins.” 6TH GRADE NEWSLETTER – OCTOBER 16, 2009 Calendar Friday, October 16 – Fall Fest 6:00- 8:30pm Wednesday, October 28 – Fall Picture Retakes Friday, October 30 – World’s Fair Monday, Tuesday, November 2-3 – No School – Teacher’s Convention Tuesday, November Wednesday evening, November 11 – Parent Conferences Thursday, November 12 – 11:30 dismissal – Parent Conferences Friday, November 13 – No School – Parent Conferences SUBJECT AREAS – WHAT WE ARE LEARNING Religion – Martin Luther Science – Continental Drift Reading – Story – “Dinosaur Ghosts” Skill- Main Idea and Details English – Nouns FALL FEST Tonight’s Fall Fest begins at 6:00.

UPCOMING TESTS Thursday, October 22 – Spelling Test on list in planner MEMORY WORK What is the Sacrament of the Altar? *It is the true body and blood of our Lord Jesus Christ under the bread and wine, instituted by Christ Himself for us Christians to eat and to drink. Where is this written? *The holy Evangelists Matthew, Mark, Luke, and *In the same way also He took the cup after supper, and when He had given thanks, He gave it to them, saying, “Drink of it, all of you; this cup is the new testament in My blood, which is shed for you for the forgiveness of sins. This do, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of Me.” *************************************************** 6TH GRADE NEWSLETTER – OCTOBER 2, 2009 Calendar Friday, October 2 – Midquarter of 1st Quarter Sunday, October 4– Grades 5 and 6 sing at the 8:00am service Wednesday, October 7 – Midquarter reports sent home Friday, Oct.9 and Monday, Oct. 12 – Mrs. Schneider not in school due to her son’s wedding that weekend J Friday, October 16 – Fall Fest Friday, October 30 – World’s Fair SUBJECT AREAS – WHAT WE ARE LEARNING Religion – Sacraments – Baptism and Holy Communion Science – Climate regions English – Review week UPCOMING TESTS Tuesday, October 6 – Reading Unit 1 Test – study vocabulary Wednesday, October 7 – English Unit 1 Test Thursday, October 8 – Spelling Review Test – list in planner MIDQUARTER ENDS TODAY.

First, we are talking about Baptism, and I asked if anyone could bring things that they got or were used at their baptism. Secondly, we will be working on making biomes in groups, so the students will have to bring items from home to fill the biome. All items will be returned. MEMORY WORK – ( Divided into 3 sections) How can water do such great things? *Certainly not just water, but the word of God in and with the water does these things, along with the faith which trusts this word of God in the water. For without God’s word the water is plain water and no Baptism. *But with the word of God it is a Baptism, that is, a life-giving water, rich in grace, and a washing of the new birth in the Holy Spirit, as St. Paul says in Titus chapter three: “He saved us through the washing of rebirth and renewal by the Holy Spirit, *whom He poured out on us generously through Jesus Christ our Savior, so that, having been justified by his grace, we might become heirs having the hope of eternal life. This is a trustworthy saying.”

Which are these words and promises of God? *Christ our Lord says in the last chapter of Mark; “Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned.” ************************************
