Week 1: Settling In

“You see, high up was safe since he liked a slow pace,

While the ground down below seemed a frightening place.

Too fast and too loud and too big and too strange,

Nope. Kevin preferred not to move, not to change.”

– The Koala Who Could, a children’s book by Rachel Bright

8th and 9th Graders Discuss What Sustains Life in Biology

Mrs. Owens led a discussion about what is necessary for life with our 8th and 9th graders this week.

 

Kindergarteners’ Imaginative Play & Listening Game

The kindergarten class had fun with imaginative play and following along with Mrs. Julie for a listening game.

First Graders Learn Letter Sounds and Share “All About Me” Bags

In first grade, students enjoyed showing what they know about letter sounds and how well they know themselves! They shared with classmates the About Me bags they assembled to help friends get to know one another better. The theme of the day was building! (Lots of first grade friends love to build out of blocks, magnetic tiles, and Legos.)

6th & 7th Graders Share Highlights and Lowlights in Discipleship

Mrs. Hyland’s discipleship class discussed the highs and lows of Week One together, and 7th graders worked on their new Chromebooks.

2nd & 3rd Work on Math Facts and Handwriting

Our second and third grade friends had time to work on handwriting and math homework in Mrs. Allison’s class.

Fourth and Fifth Graders Practice Active Spelling

Mrs. Cori’s classes got up from their desks to practice active spelling before their spelling tests on Thursday.

K-5 Discipleship with Mrs. Cori

Mrs. Cori helped students in K-5 get to know one another on the first day of school, and on the second day, they played a game to reference learning about what God is like through reading about Him in the Bible.

K-5 Stay & Play

Elementary school students enjoyed staying late after school Thursday to get to know one another better.

7th Graders Play Spanish Historical Game

Our seventh graders played a fun game of the Spanish vs. the Pirates during a history game this week.

LUNCH: Fun for All

Every grade enjoyed lunch this week, where they got to chat, have fun, and learn more about each other.
