We have been reading a book titled, “…If You Lived 100 Years Ago,” by Ann McGovern with the third grade class. They were impressed to find out that if they had lived a hundred years ago they wouldn’t have gotten a chance to eat Pizza, Potato Chips, French Fries, and Frozen Foods. We read about how they did not even know what a TV was not to mention a computer, a movie, or an airplane, during that time period. We also read about how people lived in tenements and under what type of conditions they lived there. We will continue to read this to learn about how technology has changed our world.

2B has continued to enjoy the privilege of borrowing Christian books from our Library. I am blessed every time I meet with them because they love to borrow Bibles and devotionals and they keep on borrowing and re- borrowing them. It is truly a blessing to see their hunger and thirst for the Word of God. In the library we also read devotions. This week we read a book about self-control and what the Bible tells us about it. It is wonderful to see how engaged they become with this type of reading.

The first graders have continued to borrow books from the Library for their academic fair projects on community helpers. We read the story of “The Empty Pot” by Demi. They enjoyed learning about this character-building story, which teaches them to be honest even though it may be hard,and in the end they will be rewarded for their honesty.

KV read “If you give a Cat a Cupcake” by Laura Numeroff, and had a great time listening to the story. After reading, they also made their own little cat masks. It was wonderful to see their unique creations.

This month KV has been focusing on making words and sentences to create our own stories. The students are excited to become authors and illustrators of their own creative writing. They have been using words made from the letters we have learned in combination with sight words. It is exciting to see their hard work come together through their writing samples.
K-V is excited to be learning different bible stories in class. We have learned about creation, Adam and Eve, Noah, Jacob and Esau, Abraham and Sarah. We have also been memorizing memory verses already! During our Bible review time it is always exciting to see our kindergarten friends become actors and actresses and make skits about our Bible stories.
This week in Science we are exploring the concept of how minerals form on cave walls. We engaged in a fun lab that involved making a solution out of minerals. We then observed, how over a period of a week, as the water dissolved, it left behind the original mineral in a “crystal” form. Totally cool!!!!
