Chronicles of Narnia-The Voyage of the Dawn Treader
Our 5th through 12th grade students had the privalege of viewing the new movie, “The Voyage of the Dawn Treader.” We were able to secure the entire theater exclusively for our students. We had a great time with snacks and viewing this new movie based upon C.S. Lewis’s books, “Chronicles of Narnia.” After we returned, students discussed the Christian Symbolism represented in the Bible! It was awesome!
Step Up Your Faith
January 3rd- January 7th
“Step up You Faith,” the theme for the week, encouraged students to go a step further in their walk with God. Middle School and High School students were challenged with speakers each day to take their faith to the next level. Our Elementary students looked at a different bible stories each day as well as completed crafts to encourage them to “step up their faith.” Our memory verse for the week was Luke 17:5-6
Colors
This year will be even more colorful, as we learn the names of colors in Spanish. We will continue to use articles and expand our Spanish nouns this new year, and throughout the month of January. Let us learn together!

Favorites
After having created a personalized menu of favorite foods last month, this month, students were asked to create and personalize a calendar piece of their favorite month of the year.

December has flown by!
For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. Isaiah 6:9
This month we had revisited Greetings & Numbers, while incorporating Days, Months, & Seasons. It’s interesting how Monday happens to be the 1st day of the month in Spanish-speaking countries.

Lets Talk About God
In ESL we have been focusing on improving our speaking skills and because the textbook doesn’t always offer the most interesting or relevant topics, we came up with our own topic for the month of December. Remembering the true meaning of Christmas, students wrote questions they had about who God is or anything about Christianity and we picked one question in the beginning of each class. Students came up with great questions such as: Why did God allow evil to exist? Why didn’t he get rid of it all? Or I want to know how to be a real Christian, not just study in a Christian school. A lot of our thoughts and answers pointed towards Jesus and it was a great way to celebrate Christmas even through a speaking activity.

Boxes of Love
During Fall Spirit Week, November15-19, MS and HS students participated in a canned food drive as part of their class competitions. Students were excited at the opportunity to win points for their class while helping needy families. In all, we collected 130 cans and were able to help feed 30 families for the holidays. We are extremely happy with the results and very proud of our students for focusing on the value of giving.
Working with the color wheel
Each middle school student created a complementary color geometric study – that is, they used opposite colors and straight-line only shapes, experimenting with the many tints and shades of red and green, which are opposite colors on the color wheel. They also prepared for the Christmas season by making homemade, decorated Christmas cards out of construction paper, miniature templates, markers and glitter.

Wonderful Joy
Our Middle School students shined as they presented “Wonerful Joy.” Students worked hard on beautiful poems that displayed the true meaning of Christmas. They shared songs, dances, writings and dramas that demonstrated the wonderful joy that was given to us through Jesus Christ. Every part of the production was meaningful and really gave the audience a new presepective on what “Wonderful Joy” really means.

Candy Canes
We have been studying about Satan and how we can avoid his traps and be better Christians. We ended the month on a fun note, by doing a few class activities where we studied the birth of Jesus Christ. We talked about how the candy cane reminds us of the story of Jesus Christ’s birth and his death for us.
