Tourism
After finishing a chapter on traveling, each student picked a country to do a power point presentation on tourism. It was a virtual tour of students’ hometowns and popular tour destinations. It was an exciting project where students brought the world into the classroom by introducing diverse cuisines, outdoor activities, and landmarks.

Male & Female we’ve created them – referring to words of course. In Spanish, masculine nouns have the article el in the singular form and the article los in the plural. Feminine nouns have articles la in the singular form and article las in the plural. Join us as we learn when and how to use these awesome articles that will be a stepping stone into a future of verb conjugations, possessive pronouns, and more.

Bible Characters
This month we went through chapters 10-16 studying different characters of the Bible like Samson, Absalom, King David, and Peter. We ended the month with a class project that had them take a poll of their favorite thanksgiving foods. The number one thing they decided was pie! After collecting all the data, they then had to create a bar graph and present it to the class.
Self-Control
This month we went through chapters 10-15 studying about the importance of having self-control, humility and order in our lives. We ended the month with a fun class project where the students had to create a rebus story about thanksgiving. A rebus story is where you have to write the story using symbols. There are many creative students in the 7th grade and I believe they had a lot of fun with this project.
Thankful
In the month of November the 6th grade Bible class studied chapters 10-16, ending with a Thanksgiving class project where they had to discover what they were truly thankful for. As you can imagine, the majority were thankful for their families and God, but a few said that they were thankful for their Bible teacher and as for me I said Ii was thankful for all my students.
We won pizza!
November was a very exciting month en la clase de Espanol. Students learned about going abroad and how to manage getting around in an airport in a Latin speaking country. We discussed about various trips we have taken in the past. Also because of their extra efforts in class and doing so well during learning games, they earned a pizza party.
Family
November was a very exciting month en la clase de Espanol. Students learned about things around their home and family structure. They learned about the importance of family in the Hispanic community.
Earth Science
November has brought a change in the weather and also a change in what the 8th grade is learning about. We have finished learning about the theory of plate tectonics. We have learned that the earth has multiple parts that range from the inner core to the lithosphere. We have also learned how the crust of the Earth has been molded over time by tectonic plates moving towards, away from, or side by side another plate. It’s amazing what God has done to shape the Earth.

Life Science
Deoxyribonucleic acid or DNA is really a fun word to learn and a difficult subject for students to grasp quickly. DNA is the double helix strand that is present in all living cells that has the information for a cell to replicate or keep a living person going with all the traits that God has given us. Students learn that there are 4 types of nucleotides. These nucleotides are: adenine, thymine, guanine, and cytosine. These nucleotides in combination with sugar and phosphate are the structure of DNA.

Earth Science
November has been a great month. We have transitioned from life sciences to earth sciences. What a big change going from learning about viruses and bacteria to learning about plate tectonics and the formation of the continents. The students are doing a project to teach the class about the theory of plate tectonics so that each student may get a better grasp of the chapter.
