As parents may have already found out, the sixth graders had a challenge at our first annual bowl-a-thon. Both classes had the challenge to beat the other class with the chance of seeing the opposing teacher’s face with a pie in it. After all the points were totaled, 6R won the first bowling game and 6S won the second game. In keeping with team spirit, Mr. Sanchez and Mrs. Racoma both took a pie in the face at the end of chapel last Friday. The top scoring students had the privilege of throwing the pies. Naomi Lowe-Tina smeared a pie in Mr. Sanchez’s face, as well as hair, and Christopher Reyes smashed a pie in Mrs. Racoma’s face. 6th grade looks forward to many more challenges.

Every page we read in The Silver Chair takes us on an adventure with Jill, Eustace and Puddleglum. You never know where you are going to end up in Narnia or whether you will be the giant’s supper. C.S. Lewis keeps things interesting in all his books.
Mrs. Bienemann
The Chronicle of Narnia, The Last Battle has been interesting for the students to read. We have to keep reminding ourselves that there is a fake Aslan. We are looking forward to when the true Aslan will come forward.

As we continue reading The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe the students were asked to draw their favorite parts of the story. I had pictures of wardrobes, fauns, the White Witch, and centaurs. It is amazing how every student liked a different part of the story.

The students finished reading C.S. Lewis’ The Silver Chair from his The Chronicles of Narnia series. We are reviewing this text as well as the past book we read in the first quarter in preparation for our mid-year final.

The students had a great time working on their entries for the Association of Christian School International (ACSI) Creative Writing Festival. The students of 8C put their best effort into creating short stories, essays, and poems. Nyaisa Anderson’s sweet poem entitled “You Said” was awesome as was Jamie Santana’s poem on eternity. It was hard selecting pieces to enter into the next level of competition and I congratulate those who were selected! Please check out Room 302’s bulletin board to see more great entries. Aside from this nice “creative” break, the students are busy preparing for their mid-year finals. Prepositions, anyone…?

In class, we have had discussions on what it really means to be a Christian and during an emotional Friday chapel, students of 8C shared personal testimonies of how the Lord has worked and is working in their life. I am blessed that we are able to have deep and meaningful discussions in class where the students are understanding how to draw nearer to the Lord.

The students spent time in January learning about Timothy and how to survive a lack of confidence. Timothy was a trustworthy young disciple who overcame his timidity to become a powerful witness for the Kingdom of God. The students learned that confidence does not come from knowing the right people, attaining a certain position or having a lot of possessions. Your personal relationship to God and your understanding of what He has done for you determine the strength of your confidence.

The students finished reading C.S. Lewis’ The Magician’s Nephew from his The Chronicles of Narnia series. We are reviewing this text as well as the past book we read in the first quarter in preparation for our mid-year final.

The students had a great time working on their entries for the Association of Christian School International (ACSI) Creative Writing Festival. Students put their best effort into creating short stories, essays, and poems. Asia Francois of 7L wrote a beautiful story entitled “You Too Can Forgive”. Geraldine Haberlin of 7P wrote a cute poem about the beauty of Spring, while Wesley Bryant’s haiku about the crucifixion of Jesus Christ was simple, but wow! It was hard picking just a few to enter into the next level of competition and I congratulate those who were selected! Please check out Room 302’s bulletin board to see more great entries. Aside from this nice “creative” break, the students are busy preparing for their mid-year finals. Prepositions, anyone…?
