  LOWER SCHOOL IMPORTANT NOTES:

  • FROM MRS. MITCHELL:  Would you consider taking on new family habits in November?  A recent grassroots movement called “No Screen November” challenges families to set new parameters on your family’s screen usage.  While no screens sounds extreme in today’s society, I think we can all agree that less screen time would be better for all of us.  We recently had a very encouraging testimony from a Bradford family who took back screen time from their young children and found that after the hard first few weeks, one day the kids picked up books on their own and spent 30 quiet minutes reading!  Basecamp Live has a helpful podcast on the subject that might encourage you to take on new habits.

FROM THE TEACHER’S DESK

 

GRAMMAR SCHOOL

Transitional Kindergarten  (Mrs. Grubb and Mrs. Weber)

TK students enjoyed a fun pumpkin week! On Tuesday, students were tasked with harvesting pumpkin seeds and then on Wednesday we went to the kitchen for flavoring and roasting the seeds. We ended with a pumpkin feast on Thursday at the shelter. Students were able to taste the various pumpkin seeds and also other pumpkin flavored items such as pumpkin cookies, pumpkin bread, pumpkin marshmallows, and pumpkin cheerios. Our centers this week included: an introduction to compound words, telling a story using props, using writing tablets for writing letter L and numbers, and making AB patterns using linking cubes. Our focus in math this week was: creating AB patterns, acting out story problems, and learning ordinal position 1st-4th. We introduced our first letter of the week which was letter L! We practiced writing this letter several ways and focused on identifying letter L and the sound it makes. It was so fun to see all of the items brought in for show & tell. Next week our letters of the week will be E and F. We continued learning about Moses and how God used him to give His people the 10 Commandments. We talked about how God gave us these commandments not to make us perfect but so that we can know Him and be more like Him. Next week we will read about Joshua and the battle of Jericho. 

Lower School Art (Mrs. Knight)

3rd
  • This week third graders worked diligently to complete and mount their Greek soldier projects. Afterwards we learned about warm and cool colors and began a new warm/cool colors fall leaf project.  
4th
  • Fourth graders completed and mounted their Viking ship sketches this week. We are ready to start a fall leaf watercolor project next. 

Lower School Music (Mrs. Bennington)

K-4th 
  • Kindergarten through second grade students did not have music this week due to the Greek Olympics. Third and Fourth grade students were able to have combined music this week to work on Bradford Night material. Students are doing a great job. Please encourage your student to practice his or her music at home, especially fourth grade students on recorder for the “Doxology”. 

Lower School P.E. (Mrs. Bennington)

K-4th
  • Students did a great job prepping for and competing in the Greek Olympics this week. I am so proud of all of the students and how hard they worked. Students exhibited great sportsmanship qualities and positive attitudes. 

Kindergarten (Mrs. Rivera and Miss Burdeshaw)

This Week: 

Our kindergarten scholars loved participating in the Greek Olympics! It was a fun Friday filled with excitement as we competed for house points. The week was also spent learning lots of new things! In math, we reviewed how to count numbers to ten, how to count forwards and backwards from one through ten, and how to compare numbers up to ten by identifying which number was greater versus lesser. In phonics, we reviewed all of the cursive letters and single-letter phonograms. We also introduced our first reader, “Pan and the Mad Man.” In history, we discussed Martin Luther and his impact on christianity in 1517. The act of nailing the 95 theses was the catalyst for the Protestant Reformation. In art and science, we finished up our section on trees. The students made some sweet cards with their leaf rubbings!

Memory Work: 

John 14:6 and review

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

This Week: 
  • The 1st graders had a busy week full of highlights! Of course, the Greek Olympics was the cherry on top. We were all very happy to see the sun come out on Thursday and thankful for the beautiful weather and colors in the trees  displaying God’s glory on Friday. In history the students learned about Martin Luther, and his 95 Thesis that led to the Protestant Reformation. We watched the Torchlighters episode about Martin Luther and colored 3 sheets to glue into the history journals. We talked about how we are saved by faith and not by works so that no man may boast as well as how grateful we are that we have Bibles we can read to know the Word of God for ourselves. We read The Parable of The Pumpkin Patch by Liz Curtis Higgs which illustrated how God can cleanse us of our sins (just as the farmer removed all the yucky pulp) and He will put the light of Jesus in us so we can shine our smile to the world. We continued learning about addition and subtraction fact families and how to check our answers using related facts. We also had “pumpkin math” on Thursday in which the students had the opportunity to separate seeds from pulp and put them in piles of 5. Then we used tally marks to add it all up. Mrs. Cantaffa’s class won with 435 seeds to Mrs. Smith’s class of 293. In Mrs. Smith’s class, salted pumpkin seeds won out over the cinnamon sugar 10 ton 6. While Mrs. Cantaffa’s class voted 3 to 13 in favor of the sweet seeds. In our readers this week, we saw how Frog and Toad both felt very good about secretly raking one another’s lawn in an effort to make their friend happy. Even if the wind did foil their efforts, unbeknownst to them. That is the benefit of working hard to bring joy to another person! We bring joy into our own life. 
Memory Work:  
  • Proverbs 2:6-7
Upcoming:      
  • Bradford Feast November 25th

2nd Grade (Miss Verroi & Mrs. Eng)

This Week: 

Second graders have enjoyed some special activities this week, which we hope will encourage them to have a love of reading, especially God’s Word.  We continued our study of Abraham and Sarah.  God had given Abraham an incredible promise:  He and Sarah would have innumerable descendants. But when Sarah was old and childless she took matters into her own hands, rather than staying faithful to God.  This is a good lesson for us that God is ever faithful despite our “off-track” choices.   God does not waiver in faithfulness, even when we do.  We finished The Boxcar Children book and despite the rain we had great adventures on Boxcar Day.  It was fun to see the students dressed up like Henry, Jessie, Violet or Benny and enjoy activities from the book concluding by making their own dioramas.  Thank you to those who helped provide the items for lunch.   We hope the students will continue their adventures by reading other books in this series.  In math we have switched from addition to subtraction.  Continue to help the students memorize all the addition/subtraction facts.  Many of our plants continue to grow and our young scientists continue to record the results in their science journals.  The much-anticipated Greek Olympics were a great ending to an already amazing week.  

Upcoming:
  • Middle East Projects due November 12th.  

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

This Week: 

Our history card from this week and last week tells us democracy began with the Greeks. The Greeks had three main bodies of government called the Assembly, the council of 500, and the courts. Every citizen was expected to vote on every law. We discussed how our government is also composed of three branches, but that we vote for a person to represent us instead of voting on every law ourselves. Third graders enjoyed applying what they learned over the past two weeks about Greek democracy and reenacted our own version of Athenian democracy. The Boule (Council) presented the agenda to the Ekklesia (Assembly) while the Strategoi (military leaders) presented their plan of defense against the Persian empire.  There was a lot of debate, but the Assembly voted and decided to go to war with Persia! The Assembly concluded after a citizen accused another Athenian citizen of theft! The Dikasteria ( jury) listened to each side present their case. They struggled to determine if the accused was innocent or guilty. Ask your student about the outcome of the case!  We ended the day with a Greek feast and discussed the similarities between Greek demokratia and our own government, a constitutional republic. Another busy week in third grade! Of course, after spending time studying the Greeks and the Olympics, we fashioned armor out of cardboard and duct tape and wore it in the parade at Bradford’s very own Greek Olympics!  It was a great end to another great week!

Upcoming Memory Work:

 John 10:9-10

Upcoming:
  • Greek God Projects due November 13th
  • Bradford Night November 13th

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

This Week

Week 3:  Otto I and the Holy Roman Empire

It’s been a busy and fun week here in our fourth grade. Our students continue to delve deeper into multiplication, learning different tools and models to approach equations, as we move into multi-digit multiplication. These are important concepts that prepare students for pre-algebra. Students practiced the art of rhetoric by presenting their expository paragraphs, with instruction in voice projection and audience connection.  Otto the Great and the Holy Roman Empire brought up great discussions about the problems of succession– how will the king be chosen? Our study of Earth Science took us to the center of the earth, and we contemplated the very tiny fraction of the earth that makes up the crust that we live on! The week culminated in our Greek Olympics! 

Upcoming  Memory Work: Psalm 23

LOGIC SCHOOL

For the second half of class, we had indoor study and party games. The girls were free to wear their gym clothes or normal school uniform in order to stay warm. 

  5th Grade (Mrs. LaTour and Miss Johnston) 

This Week
  • This week in 5th grade has been full! In math, we started a brand new chapter on common factors and multiples. Our students are learning to find connections between numbers and apply their skills to real-world problems. In history, we’ve taken a deep dive into the lives of the Puritans and the Massachusetts Bay Colony. We’ve learned how the Puritans came to America seeking religious freedom and built a new community based on their strong beliefs and hard work. Students explored what daily life was like, from farming and family roles to education and church life, and discussed how their values shaped early American society. In reading, we’ve journeyed all the way to Chapter 16 of The Hobbit, where Bilbo Baggins shows incredible courage and cleverness. With Smaug defeated, tensions rise among the men, elves, and dwarves over who should claim the treasure of Erebor. Bilbo secretly takes the Arkenstone, hoping to use it to bring peace between the groups, a brave and unexpected act that shows just how much he’s grown since the start of his adventure. We’re eagerly preparing for Hobbit Day and our Hobbit play, which is in just two weeks! The excitement is building as students rehearse lines and anticipate bringing Middle-earth to life right here in our classrooms.
Memory Work:

Isaiah 40:1-2

6th Grade (Mrs. McDorman and Miss Pugsley)

6th Reading and Literature
  • This week, our students wrote up summaries of Chapters 6 and 7 in Across Five Aprils. It’s been exciting to see how the themes in our novel connect so naturally with our history lessons—particularly as we explore the nation’s growth and the challenges of westward expansion.
6th Grammar and Writing
  • For Creative Writing, we are brainstorming and refining the beginnings of their stories: the genres, characters, and settings. We are wrapping up the final slides on plot, climax, and resolution in lecture. 
6th Bible
  • Our students have been faithfully continuing their memorization of I John, allowing Scripture to take root in their hearts and shape their thoughts and words each day.
6th History
  • This week, students also learned about the courage and determination that defined westward expansion. Through They’re Off! The Story of the Pony Express by Cheryl Harness, we discovered how pioneers journeyed along the Oregon Trail and how brave riders of the Pony Express carried messages across vast and untamed frontiers, connecting a growing nation.
6th Science
  • In science this week, we are talking about the bacteria in our world (bacteria shapes, human uses of bacteria, and good bacteria vs. pathogens)! The students took Cornell notes in class on Tuesday and on Thursday we reviewed. 
6th Logic
  • This week we reviewed the fallacy of Faulty Appeal to Authority.

Mrs. Crotts

6th Math
  • Students worked through Chapter 5: One variable Equations and Inequalities, lessons 1-4.  These lessons included addition, subtraction, multiplication and division properties in equations.

Mrs. Wright

  • Inspired by Johannes Vermeer, we continued on this week with colored pencil still life drawings. The goals for this project are: blending, color matching and realism/accuracy. 

Dr. Wright

7th Omnibus
  • 7th graders continue reading through Homer’s Odyssey, with weekly vocabulary and summary quizzes.  We have begun the final push of Odyssey Play rehearsals, and will welcome parents to our dress rehearsal Wednesday, November 6, from 1:45 till 2:45.  We will perform at the Upper Campus for Parents’ Days on Friday, November 8th, at 1:45pm.  Students are also memorizing their declamation speeches.  

Mrs. Frueh

7th Science
  • This week we discussed the theory of plate tectonics and talked about the role that worldview plays in interpreting data. We looked at various pieces of evidence that point to the fact that Earth’s continents are in motion and have been in motion for a long time. We discussed how the two different worldviews of uniformitarianism and catastrophism would affect how a scientist interprets data that points to the fact that the continents are in motion. We also discussed how evidence of a global flood aligns with the theory of plate tectonics.
7th Pre-Algebra
  •  We continued practicing the application of the four properties of equality to solving for an unknown in algebraic equations. The students learned that applying the properties of equality created equivalent equations, which had the same solution as the original equation. We ended the week with a cumulative test.

Mrs. Palmer 

7th Art
  • Students began working on their famous architecture drawings in charcoal this week. We are aiming for proper use of the medium, smooth blending, a range of grayscale and accuracy in recreating what we see before us.

Mrs. Wright

7th Latin
  • This week the 7th grade Latin students continued focused work on the vocative noun of direct address and the singular imperative command.  Additionally this chapter continues to expand their knowledge of verbs to include the very difficult third conjugation verb.  
7th Logic
  • This week the 7th grade Logic class discussed the question,  How much does the age of an idea or object affect whether we (ourselves or as a culture) accept or reject it?  This proved to be fruitful as the students themselves discovered that they commit a fallacy called Chronological Snobbery as they consider this question because it is easy as a culture to accept or reject an idea or item simply based on its age rather than considering the issue at hand.  The class also completed their chapter 2 review in preparation for their test next week.

  Dr. Wright

8th Omnibus 
  • 8th graders are studying the major connections between the Fall of Rome, the rise of Benedictine monasticism, and the Anglo-Saxon period.  Beowulf books have been distributed, and we continue to work on declamation speeches.  

Mrs. Wright

  • This week the 8th grade Latin students continued focused work on the vocative noun of direct address and the singular imperative command.  Additionally this chapter continues to expand their knowledge of verbs to include the very difficult third conjugation verb.  

Mrs. Frueh

8th Science
  • We continued our study of the Kinetic Theory of Matter with a lab activity in which we investigated the latent heat of fusion and latent heat of vaporization for pure water. Students recorded temperature changes as they brought water from a solid state, to liquid, and finally gas. Ask your student if they were surprised at the slope of the line that they graphed and why this was surprising.
8th Algebra I
  • It was an exciting week in algebra as we learned the many different ways to view linear equations. Our goal was to be able to describe linear equations verbally, algebraically, numerically, and graphically. In order to do this, we used a variety of tools including the x/y function tables introduced in Unit 1, as well as both the Standard Form of linear equations (Ax + By = C) and the Slope-Intercept Form (y=mx+b). It was exciting to see both the complexity and the elegance of linear equations when viewed through these different facets.

Mrs. Palmer 

8th Art
  • This past week brought the finalizing of our magazine famous artwork projects. Students worked so hard on these and their hard work has paid off.  These will be proudly displayed at the upper campus very soon. 

Mr. Crotts

8th Logic
  • Statements are sentences that have truth value – they are either true or false. Non-statements are questions, commands, and nonsense – they don’t have truth value.

  • This week we practiced writing several proofs for the congruency of triangles. The students were challenged to explain why SSS (Side-Side-Side) and SAS (Side-Angle-Side) proofs are logically coherent, but AAA (Angle-Angle-Angle) proofs are not.
  • Writing two-column proofs is challenging and forces students to be disciplined and logical in their thinking and argumentation. Rising to this challenge can feel intimidating and uncomfortable, but it is in these moments of challenge that we truly grow.

Mrs. Crotts

9th Literature
  • Students traveled to the Mebane Public Library to find sources for their author presentations; they had the opportunity to talk to the librarian to learn how to research through the local library system and also through NC Live.   We concluded our discussions of Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein and wrestled with ethics in science and medicine.  Students wrote an in-class essay about one of three topics:  “Who is the real monster?”  OR “Victor creates life and creates death.” OR “How does Mary Shelley disprove her personal beliefs (atheism)  in the conclusion of her horror novel?”

Mrs. Fairchild 

9th – 11th Art Foundations
