We finally picked the winning cover for our recipe book. After much discussion the judges came to an agreement that Dean Cuadrado’s artwork expressed exactly what the recipe book represents. All the students of 5E did a great job and have put much effort into our healthy eating project. Bravo!

Who is afraid of the parallelogram? “Not I,” says 5E. In math we learned, to find the area and perimeter of a parallelogram and rhombus. We made our own angles and learned that when we come to Christ we do a 180-degree turn, because we turn away from our sin. If we do a 360-degree turn we are right back where we started. God wants us on a straight path like a 180-degree straight angle.

Science seems to be the favorite subject in 5E. We never thought we would be composing different kinds of molecules out of colorful marshmallows and toothpicks. 5E worked diligently together in groups to build molecules of water, hydrogen, and carbon as well as glucose. A good scientist never eats their experiment, or do they?

The topic we hve been studying in Bible is being lost. Most of the world is lost and aware, meaning they know something’s missing. One author said, “We each have a God shaped hole in our hearts that only God can fill”. We try to fill that hole with all sorts of things but only God can fill that void. Next we talked about lost and who cares for them. This describes a lot of our culture today, there’s a knowledge of Jesus but seldom is there conformity to Jesus. Finally we looked at Luke 15, one of the greatest displays of God’s heart for the lost. If you’re lost He wants to find you. Its not God’s desire that any should perish. So God is looking and calling and 5E is listening.

This month we are looking at David and Nehemiah. We are looking at the repenting heart of David and the merciful heart of God. We read and studied Psalm 51; David’s prayer for forgiveness. Through it we learned that it’s Christ who pardons us and forgives all our sins. We are also looking at Nehemiah, the leadership , we all have a level of impact. Even the most introverted person impacts thousands of people in his lifetime. The book of Nehemiah is full of leadership principles for us to learn from. 5E is putting these principles into practice.
Mr. Lopez
One of the topics we are studying in Bible is Honesty. We discussed the importance of the truth. Jesus tells Pilate in John that His purpose for coming into this world is to testify to the truth. There is a battle between truth and the lies of the enemy. Truth and honesty are very important to God but they must also be very important to us.
Mr. Lopez
February topic was taking a stand for Christ and not being ashamed of the good news. Having the courage to share what Jesus has done for us. We looked at Joshua in order to learn from his courage. In Joshua 1 God had to tell Joshua to be strong and courageous. Joshua took these words to heart and conquered a majority of the Promised Land. In the last chapter he takes a stand for God and, echoes these famous words, “Choose this day who you will serve. As for me and my house we will serve the Lord”.

Singing, Dancing, Eating, Rapping, Performing, and Sharing were all a part of our Academic Fair which took place on Thursday, March19 th, from 7:00pm to 9:00pm. What an exciting evening it was for all – students and visitors alike. Students in all grades had been working feverishly since January on their projects and reports and as you walked aroung the school the aroma of wonderful foods filled the air. Foods from India, Africa, Guatemala, and many, many more countires were represented. THe sounds of students talking with visitors, projects humming, music playing, and students reciting were all sounds that filled that evening. There were many different sections to the Fair: Technolgy, Dance, Art, Science, History, Health, Bible, English, Home Ec., Countries, and many more. Many students dressed up to represent a certain person, or country; there were also scientific dissections to witness. Students were so excited as they got the chance to explain their projects and research to our visitors – nearly 1,000! What a great job all teachers, staff, parents and students did! We applaud you and can’t wait until next year!
This month we have concentrated on learning some basic verb conjugations
such as the verbs ser, hablar and llevar to be able construct sentences and
build on their Spanish vocabulary. The students have also learned how to
ask and respond to requests for one’s name and where they are from.

We just finished a chapter that deals with clothes and how to
shop for them in Spanish. We also learned the Spanish names for different
types of stores like: supermercado, hypermercado, joyeria, panaderia
and so on. Now we have begun a chapter called “Los Pasatiempos” in
which the students will learn to describe their favorite passtime and learn
about different passtimes in Spanish-speaking countries.
