Up this month, we have JC with a keepsake box he put together. Can you believe this started with one small length of 2x6, milled down? Next we have Morgan with a plaque she made for someone special in her life. Looks great kid! And finally, looking cool is Eli, with an... egg? I think. Either way, it is a nice painting job, and I hope he had fun making it.

Preschool students all have a job in a preschool. One job is the Calendar Kid, where we work on the calendar on a daily basis. We count, recite the days of the week, months of the year as well as work on cardinal (one, two, etc.) and ordinal numbers (first, second, etc.). Another job is the Day Counter. We track the number of days we have been in school by counting and adding a "person" to the jar. The kids also help with determining what numbers we use to write the number on our chart-recognizing numbers.

Cadance is our Calendar Kid. She taps each number as we help say the number. We then decide what the pattern is and why.
Harleigh is our Day Counter. She points and leads all the kids in counting how many days we have been in school.

We started out studying how a person can show a figurative good heart, and have now moved into what it means to have a good heart literally. We are learning about the structures of the heart and taking a journey in the book "The Circulatory Story" on a red blood cell throughout the body.

Our high school students just wrapped up their This I Believe essays in English class, and the results are impressive. These essays gave them the chance to explore their core values and share personal stories that shaped who they are today. From stories of resilience to lessons learned from everyday moments, it’s incredible to see such depth and maturity in their writing. This assignment showed the strength of their voices and their ability to reflect on life’s important lessons.

We had a week full of music! Kindergarten, 1st and 2nd graders already know the "BEAT" is the heart of music. 3rd and 4th graders are following and reading 16th notes. 5th graders are learning the HISTORY OF THE UKULELE. Also: ... the best thing is happening: one of our saxophonists is starting to play DRUM-SET. After 3 days of full practice on the drums, he is playing as if he has been doing it all his life!
