This month students will be working on Valentine’s Day projects. Elementary will be making Valentines Day cards, necklaces and picture frames for their loved ones. Studenare reminded that the greatest act of love took place on the cross!
Elementary is learning to play ABC on our recorders. We are also learning to conduct in 4/4, 3/4 and 2/4 time. This helps us feel the beat and helps us learn to lead.

It’s back to work again in 5E, but not before sharing that our Healthy Eating recipe book has done it again. As you know we are the Grand prizewinners in the PBS Produce for Kids contest. We were also blessed with the honor of being in the newspaper. I know that we never thought we would make it to a news story inside the periodical “The Gazette.” This lesson really hit home in 5E. Many of the students are eating more fruits and vegetables. We have learned that eating healthy is important. Some kids have even made a resolution to eat better for 2009. We created a contest to pick the best cover for our recipe book. We are excited about publishing our recipe book!
December was a very busy month for 5E. With our amazing Junior Choir we spread the Joy of Christmas for the elderly, the sick and the less fortunate people around us this year. We sang our hearts out to the Lord and ministered to the hearts of the people in need. As put by one of the students “It’s the most wonderful time of the year to share JESUS!
God Bless you all. I just want to give you an update of all the wonderful things that are taking place in 5E. First of all I want to thank all the students and parents for making our Christmas party a complete success. I also want to thank all the students who participated in our Christmas program.
As we continue reading The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe the students were asked to draw their favorite parts of the story. I had pictures of wardrobes, fauns, the White Witch, and centaurs. It is amazing how every student liked a different part of the story.

Students will learn about Negative & Positive Spaces and how we can use these spaces to create images. Using a 6X6 piece of black construction paper, they will cut the square into smaller shapes to create an image (of their choice). Once they have turned their square into a visual design they will glue it onto a white sheet of paper and see how the negative space of a design is just as important as the positive space.

Elementary School’s Christmas Program took place on Friday, December 12, 2008 – “Through the Eyes of the Friendly Beasts”. Third through fifth grade elective classes performed the drama, dance and chorus part of the program. Pre-school were dressed up as the world’s cutest angels. Kindergartners were the kings and brought gifts to Baby Jesus. First and second graders were shepherds out in the fields keeping watch over their flocks.
This program had us view the Christmas Story through the eyes of the animals that were present that Holy Night. The Sanctuary was filled with parents, aunts, uncles, grandparents, and many friends. Over 700 were in attendance.

During Thanksgiving week our school had many celebrations that included food and lots of fun. Fourth and Fifth grade had truly traditional Feasts. Students dressed as Pilgrims and Indians, gave thanks, and ate lots and lots of yummy food. Middle School and High School had huge feasts in the Fellowship Hall. There was a bounty of food, talent, and giving of thanks to the Lord for His many blessings. A great time was had by all. Make sure to “check out” galleries for lots of great pics.
