LOWER SCHOOL IMPORTANT NOTES:

  • FROM MRS. MITCHELL:  Things That Stick:  At this point in the year students are reviewing memory verses learned back in August and challenging themselves to recall the beginning line when given the reference.    Isaiah 55:10-11 gives us a beautiful picture of the blessing that comes when God’s words are known and recited:  “For as the rain and snow come down from heaven and do not return there but water the earth, making it bring forth and sprout, giving seed to the sower and bread to the eater, so shall my word be that goes out from my mouth; it shall not return to me empty, but it shall accomplish that which I purpose, and shall succeed in the thing for which I sent it.”
  • Field Day is in 2 weeks!  4 volunteer spots are available for 3rd/4th grade rotations.  Come join the fun.

UPPER SCHOOL IMPORTANT NOTES:

  • FROM DR. SMITH: Are you optimistic or pessimistic about both the present and future of earthly life and our current cultural situation? I always ask this, at some point, to students. Our answer, I believe, reveals much about our knowledge of what God’s word reveals about the accomplished and sufficient work of Jesus in his life, death, resurrection and ascension. Yesterday marked the Feast of Ascension in the Church Calendar. The doctrine of Jesus’ ascension, according to Scripture, tells us that Jesus, having all authority in heaven and on earth (Mt. 28:18-20) is now at work at the right hand (the place of authority) of God the Father, making his and his church’s enemies the footstool of his feet (Isaiah 66:1; Romans 16:20; Heb. 1:13; 10:13). That is not news you will hear from any of the major media sources. So, who are you going to believe?

FROM THE TEACHER’S DESK

GRAMMAR SCHOOL

Transitional Kindergarten (Mrs. Grubb and Mrs. Weber)

It was dinosaur week in TK! This was our last theme week and it was a favorite for many students. Students participated in activities such as creating a habitat using Play Doh for a dinosaur, creating dinosaur shadow art, listening and answering questions to several dinosaur books, a dinosaur color by number, and discussing the types of dinosaurs and what they eat. A highlight was making dino dirt cups and then enjoying them! Students were also excited to bring dinosaurs for show & tell this week. We spent the week wrapping up our lowercase letters by learning v, z, and x as well as the capital partners. We also finished our math curriculum with learning the game of dominoes this week. This is a great game to play with your child at home! We went back into the Old Testament stories of the Jesus Storybook Bible and read about Daniel and Jonah. We compared the 2 men and discussed their obedience or lack thereof to God and what the result of each was. It has been a joy to share God’s Word with these young students throughout this year. Students spent much time rehearsing for the performance that they will be sharing with you on the last day of school. We are excited to share a small snippet of what we have learned in TK this year!

Next week is the last week of TK! We have an exciting week planned for the students. Please refer back to the mid-week update that was sent on Wednesday. This email outlines each day and it gives details regarding the TK End of Year Celebration on Thursday, May 21st at 10:30 am. Please make plans to attend this special event! 

Lower School Art (Mrs. Knight)

3rd
  • Third graders finished up their lovely Renoir paintings. They will be on display for the next week. Our last project of the year is a surprise! We will be working on it for the last two weeks of school. 
4th
  • Fourth graders continued working on their city in one-point- perspective projects. After we finish sketching, we will color these with colored pencils. 

Lower School P.E.  (Mrs. Bennington)

K-4th
  • Students did a great job in PE this week. Students played several games to foster teamwork and prepare  for Field Day. 

Lower School Music (Mrs. Bennington)

K-4th
  • Kindergarten through second grade students did a great job working on the first verse of, “America the Beautiful”. Third and fourth grade students continued with recorder songs. Fourth grade also learned about instrument families and listened to recordings of different instruments. 

Kindergarten (Mrs. Rivera and Miss Burdeshaw)

This Week: 

Our kindergarten scholars are only two weeks away from the end of the school year! God has continued to be so faithful. In math, we reviewed how to count from 0-100 by ones, and how to count forwards and backwards by tens. In phonics, we read a couple “I Can Read” books and introduced our final spelling list. In history, we had Bradford’s Chief Operating Officer, Rick Vogel, dress up as Martin Luther and discuss Luther’s life. The students loved asking Mr. Vogel various questions! In art and science, we continued to work on our human body project. The students are almost finished and have loved learning about the different body systems. Remember that we have our field trip at Mebane City Hall next Tuesday, the 19th!

Memory Work: 

Review all verses for the upcoming Bible Bee on Wednesday, the  27th

1st Grade (Mrs. Cantaffa & Mrs. Smith)

This Week: 
  • First graders are very inquisitive and ask a lot of good questions. We encourage deep thinking throughout the year as we talk about history, the content in our weekly readers, discuss Bible verses and hymns. The students have more thoughtful questions as we approach the end of the school year. We have had many fruitful discussions this week about God, the Bible, prayer, baptism, the Trinity, and more. What a blessing to attend (and teach at) a school where these discussions are encouraged and the natural curiosity and wonder of young children is not stifled. In math, the students learned to tell time to the hour and half hour as well as use logic to solve time related word problems and recognize patterns. In our reader, Fathers’ Faith, the students not only improved in reading, but learned about some of the “fathers” of our Christian faith. In grammar, we are finishing up our learning about the difference between nouns, pronouns, proper nouns, and verbs. They also learned more abbreviations and titles of respect. We finished reading The Horseless Carriage and started learning about Abraham Lincoln in history. The students were able to write a new hypothesis for another experiment this week in Science as they learned about the scientific method. The little artists were able to combine many of the skills they learned this year as they used black colored pencils and water color paints to create a beach scene at sunset. This required knowledge about a one point perspective, blending, depth, layers, silhouettes, and of course paint. 
Memory Work:  
  • Review ALL verses! Bible Bee is in 7 school days! Wednesday May 27th!
Upcoming:      
  • Monday May 25th – No School – Memorial Day
  • Wednesday May 27, 9am – Bible Bee (come watch!)
  • Friday May 29th – Field day – Half day – Last day of school

2nd Grade (Miss Verroi & Mrs. Eng)

This Week: 
  • Welcome to Ancient Egypt!  What a great week as we brought together many of the aspects of Egypt that we have learned throughout the year.  We have had many amazing adventures this week. We have traveled down the Nile River, spotted wildlife near the Nile, learned hieroglyphics, stood near the pyramids, built pyramids, created Egyptian art, listened to Egyptian music, sampled Egyptian foods, decorated a sarcophagus to put our wrapped mummy in, etc.   The highlight of the week was seeing the students’ projects and learning from them. Thank you for assisting your child with their project.  We look forward to a strong finish as this school year comes to a close. 

3rd Grade (Mrs. Clark and Mrs. Meredith)

This Week

Students completed the Classical Learning Test (CLT).  After the assessment, we analyzed the character traits of Odysseus using the STEAL method. STEAL is an acronym for five types of indirect characterization that authors use to reveal a character’s personality through showing rather than telling: Speech, Thoughts, Effects on Others, Actions, and Looks. Students have greatly enjoyed reading and learning about Greek mythology through Homer’s epic poems, The Iliad and The Odyssey. To further deepen their understanding of these ancient tales, we will spend the remaining weeks of the school year preparing for and practicing our very own Iliad play. Through this experience, students will gain greater insight into the cultures of ancient Greece and Rome while becoming more connected to the characters who drive these timeless stories. In addition, the play format encourages expressive reading and thoughtful phrasing, while repeated rehearsals help strengthen fluency, comprehension, and confidence. In science, students studied adhesion, cohesion, and surface tension. They learned that adhesion is the attraction between different substances, while cohesion is the attraction between the same substances. Students also explored how two immiscible liquids, meaning liquids that do not mix like oil and vinegar, work together inside a lava lamp. The students have worked hard this week and can see the finish line in sight!  

Upcoming:
  • Review Quarter 4 Verses

4th Grade (Mrs. Graham and Mrs. Rankin) 

This Week

It has been a great week of both review and hands-on learning. We spent time this week completing end-of-year testing, giving students the opportunity to reflect on all they have learned throughout the year. In math, we introduced polygons, focusing on quadrilaterals, triangles, and identifying the attributes of polygons. 

Students also continue working on their autobiographies as they move closer to completion. We encourage you to continue meaningful conversations at home about family traditions, vacations, celebrations, and family history. Talk about the day your child was born or share stories about relatives they may not know much about. These kinds of conversations often become some of the most meaningful and memorable learning experiences for children. 

Science has been especially exciting this week as students began building their medieval machines—catapults and trebuchets—in teams. This project has given students the opportunity to collaborate, problem-solve, and practice patience as they work together and learn from one another. It has been encouraging to see both leadership and teamwork grow through this activity. 

This week was filled with review, creativity, and hands-on learning, giving students the opportunity to draw from the many tools and skills they have developed throughout the year.

This Week
  •  The school year is almost over, and the students are working hard to finish strong! We are thankful to have completed our CLT testing this week, and the students did a great job. In history, we learned about the Second Great Awakening and how it encouraged spiritual renewal and inspired social reforms across America in the early 1800s. In math, we completed our 13th chapter! In reading, we are on Chapter 27 of Treasure Island, where the adventure and search for treasure continue to grow more intense for Jim Hawkins and the crew. Only two more weeks to go! We are excited to see the students perform next Thursday night at our Patriotic Program!

6th Reading and Literature
  • In Around the World in Eighty Days Chapters 17–20, Phileas Fogg and his companions continue their journey across India and toward Hong Kong while facing unexpected delays and growing suspicion from Detective Fix. Despite obstacles, Fogg remains calm and determined, demonstrating remarkable discipline, precision, and confidence under pressure.
6th Grammar and Writing
  • Students continued developing their compare-and-contrast papers on the four Gospels, focusing on identifying key similarities, differences, themes, and audiences within each account of Christ’s life and ministry. We will continue refining outlines, evidence, and thesis statements into next week as students strengthen their analytical writing and biblical understanding.
6th Bible
  • Students are actively applying their growing knowledge of the Gospels to support clear, thoughtful, and well-organized writing.
6th History
  • Students completed their final history card, focusing on Modern America following the Cold War and examining major cultural, political, and technological developments shaping the modern era. This assignment helped students connect key themes and events from their study of recent American history.
6th Science
  • Students explored the foundations of genetics, learning how genes carry traits that are passed down from one generation to the next. We discussed dominant and recessive genes, how inherited characteristics are expressed, and the role of RNA in helping cells use genetic information.
6th Logic
  • Students practiced identifying and naming logical fallacies by analyzing an essay arguing that humans should be nocturnal. Through discussion and evaluation, students strengthened their ability to recognize weak reasoning, faulty arguments, and persuasive techniques in written communication.

Mrs. Crotts

6th Math
  • Students took the CLT this week, and also completed Chapter 14.  Students will hear an overview of Chapters 15-17.  They will work in groups to complete activities about these chapters.  These topics are review from years past and also are covered again in future math.

Mrs. Frueh

7th Science
  •  We wrapped up our Docendo Discimus project this week with the last round of student presentations. Each student chose a different astronomy topic to study for the duration of the quarter. After becoming an expert on the topic, each student had the opportunity to teach the class an 8-10-minute lesson. This week’s presentations taught us more about Mars and its exploration rovers, Saturn and its rings, Jupiter and its moons, and the inhospitable atmosphere of Venus. This project builds the rhetoric skills that students will continue to hone throughout their high school years.
7th Pre-Algebra
  • The students added many valuable geometric tools to their math toolbox this week as they learned to calculate the area of parallelograms and trapezoids, as well as how to use the Pythagorean Theorem. While these last ten lessons in the curriculum are detailed and demanding, with focus and perseverance, your student can continue to grow and excel. Encourage your hard-working young scholar to dig deep and finish the race well.

Mrs. Palmer 

8th Art
  • We have worked hard on our clay projects this week. Students have begun to paint their projects. We also took a test on all four artists of the quarter.   

Mr. Crotts

8th Logic
  • Eighth-graders are excellent at “arguing” – so we’ve let the arguments flow and have evaluated statements with questions as: 1) what do you mean by that? 2) where did you get your information? 3) how do you know you’re right? 4) what if you are wrong?

9th-12th:

Whether you pursue classical education after high school or not, Bradford students receive an inheritance of logic and virtue!  Read this excerpt from Joshua Gibbs’ A Teacher Defines Classical Education.

“The expression “flunk life” is blunt and unsentimental, which is true of classical education, as well. The idea that some people “flunk life” is painful, but that doesn’t mean it’s inappropriate or incorrect. In the same way you can flunk a class in school and still feel proud of yourself, you can flunk life and still feel proud of yourself. Like flunking a class, flunking life is an objective judgement that exists independently of our feelings.

What is more, classical educators set the bar for not flunking life relatively high. A classical educator wouldn’t say that a man begins flunking life if, and only if, he ends up in jail. Rather, a classical education is predicated on the belief that vices like arrogance, cowardice, lust, envy, and gluttony are the signs of flunking life regardless of what else that person does. Inasmuch as these vices crop up in a person’s life, he is obligated to fight them with virtues like humility, courage, ambition, chastity, charity, and temperance.

The primary way we obtain these virtues is through the emulation of great men and women who have embodied them in the past. Their lives and works have been vetted by many generations and handed down as a cultural inheritance to us. Classical education is one of the best ways to receive that inheritance.

For this reason, a classical school is a lively, active place. It is not enough to think good thoughts and ask tough questions. We must live out the tough answers we’ve inherited to those questions—but as a classical educator, I can attest to the joy which comes from such spiritual labor.”

Mrs. Palmer

  • We wrapped up our final unit with our last geometry exam of the year. Next week, we will put all of our geometry skills to the test as we design, build, and test balsa wood bridges.

Mrs. Crotts

9th Literature
  • Students turned in art symbolism projects about The Old Man and the Sea.  They received graded essays back from To Kill a Mockingbird and The Old Man and the Sea.  They also watched the conclusion to To Kill a Mockingbird.  It was encouraging to see how their reasoning and intellect developed this year in their writings.

        Mrs. Fairchild 

9th – 11th Art Foundations
  • We have continued to work on plein air painting in downtown Mebane and hope to have them on display by May 21st. This project has been a unique opportunity for our students to engage with the community. Many people have stopped to inquire about the school and their paintings. I have been thankful to hear from these people that our students “are different and have a quality of kindness about them” and also to hear their remarks that Bradford students are so cheerful! Praise God that these are things that the Mebane community thinks of when they see our students. I also recognize that this is also happening because of the tremendous work the parents are doing at home to guide their children. 

Mrs. Bennington

9th-11th Band 
  • Students did a great job this week rehearsing music for the Patriotic Concert. Everyone is sounding great and we are looking forward to the concert next week.

Dr. Smith

11th-12th Apologetics
  • We are concluding our study of Carl Trueman’s book Strange New World. This past week we have been reading his analysis of how the transgender movement actually wages war against homosexuality, since the latter actually presupposes sex differences based on fixed biology. In addition, we are discussing how trying to root human living and society in merely people’s feelings actually leads to an authoritarian and oppressive state that eventually has to decide which feelings “win-out”. 

Coach Johnston

12th History
  • Students took an assessment on the civil rights movement of the 50-60’s. We are now studying events that occurred following the conclusion of the Cold War.

Ms. Oldham
