Ornament-making in Kindergarten, First, and Third Grade

Several classes enjoyed making ornaments in anticipation of the Christmas holidays.

6th/7th Buddies Help K/1 Students with Christmas Tree Ornaments

The Buddies worked together on Christmas tree ornaments this week.

6th/7th Life Skills Class Learns about Hanukkah

One of our students helped Mrs. Hyland teach about the history of Hanukkah and how its traditions and celebrations have evolved over time.

K, 7th, and 8th Classes Record Special Christmas Videos in the StoryLab

Several of our classes recorded or helped with the recording of Christmas videos in the StoryLab this week. (Parents, you’ll receive these next week if your student was in a recording.)

3rd Graders’ Hot Cocoa Grammar Lesson

Learning about adverbs is more fun when you’re drinking hot cocoa!

4th Graders Learn About Measuring Temperature

Measuring the temperature outside and recording the temperature of apple cider as it heats up was a fun assignment for 4th graders today!

7th Grade Poetry Recitations

The seventh graders in Mrs. Hyland’s class recited poetry this week.

8th Grade Life Skills and Devotions Studies 1 Corinthians

The 8th grade class leaned into the book of 1 Corinthians this week as they explored what it means to love another. They held debates and wrote letters for loved ones.

K Students Interview Staff

Our kindergarten students went to visit some of the administrative team to interview them and record their interview results. (They were the cutest interviewers we’ve ever seen!)

1st-6th Grade Christmas Pageant

The first through sixth graders did an amazing job learning their lines during the drama elective over the last few weeks. Way to go, cast! Everyone in attendance enjoyed “The 12 Symbols of Christmas.”
