The Lord is faithful in all his words and kind in all his works. Psalm 145:13
Congratulations to our very own 4th grader, Destiny Anderson for winning the Salvation Army Writing Contest about her favorite holiday tradition. You may read all the 4th and 5th grade student's amazing essays which are displayed outside the classroom.
They will begin the new year studying themes related to American freedom, courage, and responsibility.
Religious instruction has focused on the rise and fall of leaders from 1st and 2nd Samuel to 1st and 2nd Kings. We are focused on learning to give all our cares and concerns to Jesus and using the Word to refine our thoughts and actions.
6th graders have finished a study on plays and have begun writing their own. They will begin the new year connecting literature to their personal lives and growth as an individual. We will be reading Where the Red Fern Grows by Wilson Rawls.
Seventh and 8th grade students finished writing a short story review evaluating how the author's use of literary elements affected their connection, or lack thereof, to their selected story. They have also begun evaluating their skills toward taking benchmark tests with practice exams.
