Tourism
After finishing a chapter on traveling, each student picked a country to do a power point presentation on tourism. It was a virtual tour of students’ hometowns and popular tour destinations. It was an exciting project where students brought the world into the classroom by introducing diverse cuisines, outdoor activities, and landmarks.

Prayer
This month we studied chapters 10-16, discovering the importance prayer plays in our lives. We studied how important prayer was in the life of Christ as well. We ended the month with having class debates. We divided the class up into two groups, for and against. We debated the issues of the death penalty and human cloning. Many of the students had very good points and we had a great time of learning how Christians feel about these topics.
Let’s go shopping
November was a very exciting month en la clase de Espanol. Students learned about going shopping in all Spanish speaking stores. Their vocabulary expanded as they learned various words for school objects and clothing.
Hand Turkies
9M competed in the Door Decorating Competition for Spirit Week. Each student made a hand-turkey and helped create a really special class door.

Riddles
The 9th grade class continued reading the novel Blink of an Eye, by Ted Dekker. The thrilling book kept the students wondering what would happen next. Most students read ahead, not being able to put the book down. Students had fun answering challenging riddles, practicing their critical thinking and figurative language, and created their own riddles based on the novel. Students are now looking forward to reading A Christmas Carol, by Charles Dickens, just in time for the Christmas season.

Poverty
November was a busy month for the 10th grade English class. Students finished reading Oliver Twist, by Charles Dickens. As a class we read the poverty edition of Evangel magazine. Students learned about the real life poverty that human beings around the world experience every day. They learned that, just as Dickens gave a voice to the poor in the 1800s, individuals and organizations today can be a voice for those in severe poverty. Each student chose a picture in the magazine and wrote an essay from the perspective of that person, literally giving them a voice. Students discussed why the children are those most affected by poverty and began to research charities that are addressing these needs.

Old Testament Study
11th Grade is currently exploring the book of Exodus. Through looking at the plagues, passover, the exodus, and the giving of the law and the tabernacle, we continue to see the unfolding of God’s sovereign plan to save, preserve, and purify a special people, by his mighty power, for his own glory.
