STEM Sewing!

Today was our first STEM sewing session with Mrs. Shedd and Mrs. Loretta LaBounty. The third and fourth graders sewed neck warmers and ear warmers. Knowing how to use a sewing machine is a useful life skill that can be used in many ways to serve the Lord, and it’s fun too. A huge thank you to our kind volunteers and to the generous fleece donor!

Let the Children Come

This week in chapel, Mr. Lee taught on Matthew 19:13-14. “Then children were brought to him that he might lay his hands on them and pray. The disciples rebuked the people, but Jesus said, ‘Let the little children come to me and do not hinder them, for to such belongs the kingdom of heaven.'”

Compound Eye Models

What big eyes you have!

Scientists can use models to help examine and experience things that otherwise may be too small, too large, or too inconvenient to handle. As we are wrapping up our biology unit for the year with an investigation of invertebrates, we made models to help us imagine what it is like to see with compound eyes.

Forty Book Challenge Champion!

We are loving our books in the third/fourth class! Every day we are delighted with something we are reading, from our read aloud book to our book buddy story time, from silent reading to book shares at morning meeting.

Our first mighty reader finished 40 books right before Christmas break. Congratulations, Adrienne!

Adrienne says, “I love to read in my bed and on the couch.  My favorite book series is Canterwood Crest.  I like it because the stories just pull me in. I really want to get a Nook e-reader for when I read. I think it will be fun to have on road trips for reading in the car and having lots of books at your fingertips. I want to make a corner with bean bags in my room to have another cozy spot to read. I think that if you practice reading, it just gets more and more fun. Go, books!”
