5th Graders Shave-and-Spell and Design a Zoo, 4th Graders Learn Reasoning with Scales

To apply math skills, students in 5th grade helped design a zoo this week. They also had fun using shaving cream to practice their spelling words.

Our 4th graders learned reasoning by experimenting with scales.

4th & 5th Graders Share Engineering Reports with Navigator Students

Mrs. Cori’s students had a fun treat this week. They were able to talk to two of our Navigator students on Zoom. Learnwell North Georgia and Navigator students all shared their engineering reports with each other.

Special Guest Speaks to K-5th About Engineering

Our K-5th graders heard special guest, engineer Trevor Woods. He shared about the type of engineering he does, and then students had a chance to experiment with their own engineering projects.

1st-5th Practice Engineering Projects

Students worked on engineering projects and research as part of their STEAM unit.

Family Fun Night Photo Feast

Our fall Family Fun Night was a blast. Thank you to all the families who joined us and to everyone who helped behind the scenes.

6th & 7th Graders Discuss Labels in Discipleship

In Discipleship this week, the sixth and seventh graders learned about labels and how important it is not to put labels on ourselves or others.

Kindergarten Learns About Minnesota

Our kindergarten class learned about Minnesota and one of its pastimes — ice fishing. They got to go ice fishing for letters of the alphabet too!

9th Grade Civics Students Make Flip Posters about Social Issues

Students in Mrs. Castro’s civics class researched the political parties’ views on social issues and created flip-up posters with sticky notes.

K-5th Graders Present Projects about Engineers

Many of our older elementary students helped their younger peers with reading skills during the presentations. We loved seeing them serve their young friends. All K-5th took turns sharing what they learned about engineers they had researched. Well done, elementary school students!

Kindergarteners Serve the First Graders

Our kindergarten class has been talking about service and what that looks like. So, this week, they served homemade bread to the first-grade class. Way to go, kindergarteners!

StoryLab: Back in Action

Our StoryLab is back in action. Multiple grades came together to work on video projects this week.

Learning that God Is Our Refuge in Devotional Time

Mrs. Cori led our K-5 students this week to explore God as our Refuge.
