We are learning about the basic of life Cells and the importance of the microscopes. Our Science program is very “hands-on” and the students are having a “blast” learning.
Students are learning about minerals and how to identify them along with the forming of minerals. We also went to the Hall of Science this week. The students had a great time of learning and fun.

We continue our series Survival Quest by studying Leah to learn how to survive rejection, Nehemiah to see how we can survive peer pressure, and Mary (mother of Jesus) to learn the traits for surviving family stress. It is my desire to utilize the 8th graders this month to bless those in and around the school as we prepare to share time with our loved ones giving thanks for what we have.

November sees the 7th graders finishing the classic tale Island of the Blue Dolphins and the 8th graders finishing the true story of Christian Holocaust survivor Corrie ten Boom in The Hiding Place. We will be culminating these stories with activities to bring to life what the students have read in the stories. By mid-November, the 6th, 7th, and 8th graders will be embarking on the wonderful journey with The Chronicles of Narnia series. The classes will each read one book from the series: The Silver Chair, The Magician’s Nephew, and The Last Battle. We’ll spend some time entering Thanksgiving vacation by watching one of the two recent Narnia movies that have come out. Bring your own popcorn!

November will be an exciting time for my 6th, 7th, and 8th grade students as they truly apply what they are learning in an admirable way. We will be examining the correct way to compose different types of letters. Practicing in school is great, but what would make it even better? Blessing someone through it! For Thanksgiving, the students will be writing friendly letters to soldiers serving overseas. We will use this month in which we give thanks to say THANK YOU to those who serve our country and cannot be home with their loved ones. Would you like to join us in this effort? Please contact Mrs. Candelier if you would!
Students in 10th grade are doing well in class. They are working hard and striving for the best. Our project for September was to write a menu on the foods that we learned. In November we will start a project based on communication with a pen pal. They will have to write to a friend from a Spanish speaking country, using the knowledge and characteristic traits we learned to write these letters. They must also write response letters from this friend to themselves. This will help them enhance their writing skills.
