FROM THE TEACHER’S DESK

 

GRAMMAR SCHOOL

 

Transitional Kindergarten (Mrs. Grubb and Mrs. Weber)

TK continued working on learning our systems and routines this week. The students are picking these things up nicely and settling in the routine. This week we began our study of Creation. We will spend 2 weeks talking about Creation. Our focus this week was days 1-3 and next week we will focus on days 4-7. The students have been working on a Creation book that they will be bringing home next week. Students were also challenged to identify their special letter (1st letter of their name) and even got to build their special letter with play-doh. A highlight of the week was learning about gardening and planting seeds. Each student planted either thyme, basil, or parsley. We will take care of our plants and watch them grow over the next few weeks! In math, we created AB patterns, practiced positional phrases, and graphed our favorite color teddy bears. Students now know how to skywrite numbers 1-10. 

 

Lower School P.E. (Mrs. Bennington)

K – 4th
  • Students completed several relay races and hand-eye coordination relays in P.E. this week. Students also completed several soccer skill drills. Some classes were even able to complete a soccer match.  We spent a lot of time talking about perseverance, effort, communication, and teamwork and how these character traits add to our enjoyment of each activity we are completing. 

Lower School Music (Mrs. Bennington)

K-4th
  • Students did a great job in music this week. We worked on all three verses of “To God Be The Glory”.  Students learned the definitions for the musical terms “beat” and “rhythm”. We put these elements into practice with two songs, “B-I-N-G-O” and “Up the Ladder, Down the Ladder”.  We spent a lot of time talking about self control and effort and how these character traits aid in our enjoyment of a group activity. 

Lower School Art (Mrs. Palmer)

3rd
  • Students began their first art project this week!  We are working on “stained glass windows” (drawing inspiration from our artist of the quarter, Giotto, and the time period in which he lived).  We look forward to sharing these with you when they are complete. 
4th
  • Students began their first art project this week!  We are working on “stained glass windows” (drawing inspiration from our artist of the quarter, Giotto, and the time period in which he lived).  We look forward to sharing these with you when they are complete. 

Kindergarten (Mrs. Rivera and Miss Burdeshaw)

This Week:

Our kindergarten scholars are already halfway through their first quarter of school! In math, we learned how to make shapes on our geoboards, the difference between outside and inside, we utilized the “some and some more” stories in preparation for addition problems, and we acted out “some and some went away” in preparation for our subtraction problems. In phonics, we introduced a few new phonograms and began practicing our strokes for cursive writing. In history, we reviewed the creation story from the past few weeks, and we also began talking about the different continents and oceans. In art, we learned about our artist of the quarter, Giotto and in science, we discussed one of the five senses, sight. 

Memory Work:

1 Corinthians 13:4-8a and review

 

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

This Week:

Our 1st graders discovered a love for jazz with our first phonics primer Ella Sings Jazz. This primer introduced us to the  First Lady of Song, Ella Fitzerald.  We experienced some of her performance styles such as scat singing and enjoyed her tunes as background music!  We also began a study of early American history with the book Leif the Lucky, the account of a young Viking boy who sails to what would later be known as the New World. Leif has taught us the importance of self-control and we discussed self-control using the verses Proverbs 16:32 and Titus 2:11-12. We have started placing entries into our history journals to document our journey through history from the explorers to the Civil War.  This week in Math we had our second fact and written assessment. One especially bright spot in our week has been learning about our winged neighbors. Our bird of the month this month is the Northern Cardinal.

Memory Work: 

Proverbs 12:15, Catechism Questions 10-12

Upcoming:

Psalms 145:9, Home Address, Alamance Battlegrounds Field Trip 10/5

2nd Grade (Mrs. Hedgecock & Mrs. Eng)

This Week:

Our memory verse and history lesson taught us the importance of living by faith and obeying God.  From Cain we learned that if/when we do sin God offers a way out and we need to be willing to repent.  Something new this year is memorizing parts of the Westminster Shorter Catechism.  We started with #39, which asks “What is the duty which God requireth of man?” The answer is  “The duty which God requireth of man, is obedience to his revealed will.  This week we learned #42 which asks “What is the sum of the ten commandments?” The answer is “The sum of the ten commandments is, to love the Lord our God with all our heart, with all our soul, with all our strength, and with all our mind; and our neighbor as ourselves.”  The reading level of our newest book, Tornado, has increased and some students are struggling a bit.  As we work toward fluency in classroom reading, it will be immensely helpful if you will continue to read with your child at home. Be sure to ask your child the significance of the book title.   We found 10+ of our spelling words in Tornado, so that reinforces the need for strong spelling skills.  In Latin we learned to ask each other “How are you?”  To assist you in Latin review, all of the Latin vocabulary is listed in the black folder. We have had a great start to 2nd grade and the students are working hard and growing in wisdom and knowledge.  

Memory Work:

Hebrews 11:4-5 this week and then verses 6-7 next week

Upcoming: 

September Project – note to be sent home after Labor Day

 

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

This Week
  • As we slowly work our way through Black Ships of Troy, students have discovered that jealousy and anger can lead to actions with large consequences. Proverbs 25:28 tells us, “whoever has no rule over his own spirit is like a city broken down, without walls.” The massive walls surrounding Troy protected it from the mighty Greek army. If the walls had been broken and in disrepair, the Trojans would have been quickly defeated. We discussed how this related to our own lives and behavior. Students keep adding to their “tricky word” lists with words like alliteration, commutative property, and skirmish. As we continue to define vocabulary and explore words in literature, poetry, and prose we are setting the foundation for our own writing. In math, we exercised our mental muscles with double-digit addition, measurement in inches and centimeters, and fact families. Students have begun estimating the amount of money needed to make a purchase at the Bradford Ice Cream Shop! Have your student estimate their next purchase!
Memory Work:
  • Proverbs 23:22-23
Upcoming:
  • 10/6  Greensboro Science Center Field Trip

 

4th Grade (Mrs. Burtram and Miss Abrahamsen) 

This Week
  • Fourth grade enjoyed a lot of hands-on learning  this week! Last week, we finished reading The Door in the Wall; so, as a final project, we split up into groups, chose one of our virtues, made posters, and gave presentations. In History, we talked about Jerome and his Latin translation of the Bible (the Vulgate), focusing some of our discussions on how privileged we are to have God’s Word in our own language. We even wrote our memory verse in Latin!  Nature Study was enjoyed by the students as they made bark rubbings, collected leaves, and identified trees.  Oak, Maple, and Birch were spotted all around the church grounds.  We looked at our seed project and used vocabulary words to describe the germination process.  
Memory Work:
  • Philippians 4:4-8
Upcoming:
  • Bring a flower from home to dissect (for Wednesday 9/6)

 

LOGIC SCHOOL

 

Mrs. Bennington

5th-6th Band
  • We started our week by reviewing  how to count several rhythm lines before we tried to play them on our mouthpieces. We then reviewed how to open our cases, put together our mouthpieces, make the correct embouchure needed for each instrument, where to put our mouthpiece on our lips, how to sit when we play, how to breathe, how to articulate the sound, and how to play our mouthpiece. Then we learned how to put our instruments together, how to hold our instruments correctly, and how to position our hands and fingers to play our first two notes! We ended class by being able to play the first four exercises in our book. 
7th-9th Band 
  •  Students did a great job playing this week! We went back to the beginning of the book and continued with our  review of all of the concepts that we learned last year so that we can start working on more mature sounds this year. This also provided a great opportunity for the  students that switched instruments to get caught up with the rest of the class. Brass and Woodwind students will have their first paying test this Tuesday 9/5 on anything in Unit 2 of their choosing that demonstrates three elements of music. Percussion will have their test on 2.16. Students will also turn in their first practice record for 8/29-9/4 on Tuesday 9/5. 

Mr. Webster

5th-8th Boys’ PE
  • This week we had a mile run test and continued working on ultimate frisbee skills. 

Miss Stevenson

5th-8th Girls’ PE
  • This week we continued working on ultimate frisbee skills.

 

5th Grade (Mrs. Owens) 

This Week
  • We have completed another week of 5th grade and the students are all settling into their routines nicely.  We have continued to sharpen our math addition, subtraction, and multiplication facts.  We have also learned how to work through word problems where we need to combine information and separate information.  In history, the students learned about Magellan circumnavigating the world and we completed a clay map of the path he took.  The students are continuing to practice classifying more complicated sentences and have learned about subject – verb agreement in grammar.  We are working on improving our sentences to make them stronger and more interesting, which will help as we begin to write papers. This week in science we focused on the muscular system and learned about our voluntary and involuntary muscles. Ask your student if they can give you an example of each type. In literature, the dwarves and Bilbo are continuing to make their journey to the Misty Mountain. The group surprisingly escaped the goblins and Bilbo was able to outsmart Gollum. Plans are starting to come together about Hobbit Day, which I will send out to you soon.
Memory Work:
  • Romans 12:6-8 (this week)
  • Romans 12:9-10 (next week)

Mrs. Kromhout

5th Latin
  • 5th graders continue to do a great job learning new vocabulary, the new 3rd declension chants, and about the uses of the dative case! We did a little bit of translation this week, and are looking forward to doing more in future weeks. 

 

6th Grade (Miss Stevenson)

  • History: We completed a fun read on the Rosetta Stone as we ventured through Ancient Egypt.  Also, they took a quiz on a map of Ancient Egypt.
  • Bible: Students completed a quiz on the 10 Commandments–written and verbal!  We also blended history and Bible and studied what was going on around the world during the time Exodus was written.

Mr. Johnston

7th Logic
  • Our deep thinkers spent some time this week looking at advertisements.  For each, we considered the propositions and supporting reasons that were presented.  Logical thinking involves necessary conclusions not mere persuasive language.  Our hope is to develop a growing awareness of the difference.

Mrs. Frueh

7th Science
  • We have continued learning this week about the scientific method. Our focus this week was on the difference between scientific theories and scientific laws. Now that we have wrapped up our discussion of the scientific method, the students are excited to plant their bean seeds next week in order to launch their soil experiments.

We then discussed the appeal to emotions (pathos) and how not to manipulate emotions, but rather reason through emotions. 

Coach Johnston

10th History
  • Our class completed a discussion of the Hammurabi Law Codes and then began the second half of our first unit by introducing the ancient history of Egypt.

Coach Johnston

11th-12th Elective: Military History
  • Students completed an extensive set of reading selections from Unbroken in order to learn about: bomber crew training, planes, a survival story from someone adrift in the Pacific, and the experience of being a POW in a Japanese internment camp. A good series of questions to ask your sons would be: what did this story teach you about: a) the ability to persevere through great suffering, b) the power of human will, and c)  the role of faith in the midst of it all? In our notes/discussion, we worked through the beginning events of WW2 through the Phony War season leading up to Germany’s invasion of France in May 1940. That is where our discussion will pick up next week, as we continue to research, read and discuss the lessons from World War 2.

Mrs. Palmer

  • We continued going over how apologetics, evangelism and discipleship are united together, implicated in each other, and united to the lives of both non-Christians and Christians. Along the way we have been addressing questions about what exactly it is that Jesus conquers, when he conquers sin. Ask your son and/or daughter if they can tell you without looking at their notes!  

Coach Johnston

12th History
  • Students completed their study of the Age of Explorers and took their first unit test in Modern History. We finished the week by introducing a small, personal research assignment that will tie into our next unit: the Reformation and its effects.

12th Rhetoric II
  • Most of our seniors have picked a thesis topic and I am starting to receive mentor contracts! Please continue to keep our seniors in your prayers as we continue through quarter one. This is a slower quarter as it is mostly research, so there is always a temptation to slack off.
