Chapel Fun

The elementary division enjoys Chapel once per week. We had had only 1 so far, led by the Headmaster, but each grade is responsible for leading a chapel every 5 weeks. Of course, the other teachers "voted" Grade 5 to lead the first one and so I decided we'd take it for the team. This decision was made on Friday. Thus, we began to put together our Grade 5 chapel as of this past Monday. And did I forget to mention that the chapel takes place each Wednesday? Hah!

But, they truly are a remarkable class. They have such sincere hearts who can become so passionate - and especially when it comes to a focus on God! Together with my guidance, they managed to put together an excellent Chapel for Kindergarten to Grade 4 students - complete with singing, acting, praying, and Bible reading - in 2 days. Everyone participated and despite their extreme nervousness (near hyperventilating mere moments before starting... I found out none of them had ever performed "on a stage" before... yikes :) ), they performed beautifully.

But here's the funny part... All of the other students from K-4 loved it so very much that they erupted into loud cheering and clapping after every single Bible reading, prayer, or mini-skit. When returning to class, they were giving high-fives to the Grade 5 students and congratulating them on an awesome Chapel that they loved. And here's the cherry on top... after school, many of my Grade 5 students were bombarded by younger kids asking for AUTOGRAPHS! :) So cute! And they really did give out their autographs on little scraps of paper to anyone who asked...! Way to go, Grade 5! :)
