What Time is it?
Many have mastered the concept of single feminine/masculine articles, such as “un” and “una”. Join us now, as we venture into “¿Qué Hora Es?” lessons on telling time and counting through sixty. Ask your child for the time, and you just might get the usual responses commonly known among our surrounding Spanish-speaking heritage.
We have traveled!
Up until now, we’ve had opportunities to learn about four fabulous countries. We’ve uncovered details about the mother country, Spain; learned about the battle of Puebla in Mexico; ventured into Guatemala and its rich Mayan history; and finally, El Salvador, being the smallest country in Central America.

We have just started their fall typing unit. We are currently taking a fall speed test and will be working on improving their typing skills for several weeks. We are working mostly in Mavis Beacon, though 1st and 2nd Grade are getting to use Word pad as well.
“My whole heart follows hard after you and clings closely to you!”
We were thrilled bout our first spiritual emphasis week for the 2010-2011 school year. It was held September 20-24.
The theme for Elementary School was “Spirit of the Seas.” Each day during bible time, students focused on a bible story which all centered in on obedience. The stories covered during this week were: Jesus Calming the Storm, Noah and the Ark, Jonah, The Disciples Casting Their Nets & Peter Walking on the Water. Each day students were able to have worship time, a bible lesson, memory verse and complete a craft. The week concluded with an interactive bible story, including a large boat and someone “walking on water,” during chapel. It was a great week and students received a certificate and snack for their completion of our Spiritual Emphasis Week.
Pastor Tom Mahairas (founder of Manhattan Bible Church) came in to speak to our Middle and High Schoolers. He graciously shared his testimony with them and spoke about how God rescued him from a life of drug addiction. Pastor Mahairas also shared that there are 3 types of Believers….. The Believer, The Non-Believer, and the Make-Believer…….he challenged them as to which one they were. At the end he asked all those that would like to rededicate their lives to Christ to come forward. On Friday he shared with them that they are special and that God loves them very much. Seven students came forward to receive Jesus as their personal Saviour. He also asked student to pray for one another.
We praise God for His presence and for moving amongst our students. We are excited to see what He has in store for us this school year!

Probability
Did you know that the game of Twister can teach your kids probability? My 6th graders found this fun game very helpful in learning how to write and talk probability. Left hand red was called out as one participant moved their hand the other members of the team wrote the fractions for the probability given by teacher. After awhile the class started coming up with their own probabilities for the likelihood that someone would spin a movement that would make them fall!

Temptation
We learned some helpful tips to overcome temptation. We studied the life of Jesus and took a close look at how he was able to overcome 40 days of temptation by holding to the Word of God.

Prayer
We had some amazing times of prayer as a class. I can see a really sensitive heart for the Lord in this class, they love to pray and seek God.
