What We Are Learning:
Bible Verse

Psalm 1:1-6

History

We will bring the study of the Colonial Period to an end with the culminating activity of "Colonial Day". We will be making butter, dipping candles, using quill pens and ink as well as several other activities that will allow the students to get a taste of what life was like during this fascinating era.

Literature

We are reading the novel The Borrowers. Do you ever wonder why it is that one is always misplacing items such as pencils and pens, keys, safety pins, hairpins, matches, needles or even homework? The Borrowers is a story about The Clocks, Pod, Homily, and their daughter Arrietty who live in a miniature world and live by furnishing their home with "borrowed" items from humans. Their borrowing goes unnoticed until one day Arrietty makes the worst mistake a Borrower could make. A human sees her. Chaos follows but concludes with the Clocks starting a new life, which brings new experiences.

Science

We are in the process of studying life science currently and are performing many hands-on activities.  Please feel free to visit our project displays outside of our classrooms.  They show a great deal of creativity and are very entertaining.

Foreign Language:
Spanish

Nations
We will be focusing on the countries of Latin America and are in the process of selecting a family who's on the mission field in one of these countries.  We'll be praying for this family daily and communicating with them by e-mail.  If you have been to one of the Latin American countries, please let us know.  We would be glad to have you visit and share your experiences with us!
