In Science we are studying volcanoes and what causes them to erupt. During a fun experiment students learned first hand how mixing certain ingredients together could be explosive.

This week in Social Studies we are discussing the American Revolution. Students are presenting the wonderful projects they created, from models of the Boston Tea Party to depictions of the Battle of Yorktown.
In Math we are learning all about fractions. Using egg cartons, we are visually learning how to create fractions and understand the
This week in science students studied sedimentary rock, rock that is formed from small bits of rocks and compacted togeether, and we learned how to take a “core sample” during our lab.
As parents may have already found out, the sixth graders had a challenge at our first annual bowl-a-thon. Both classes had the challenge to beat the other class with the chance of seeing the opposing teacher’s face with a pie in it. After all the points were totaled, 6R won the first bowling game and 6S won the second game. In keeping with team spirit, Mr. Sanchez and Mrs. Racoma both took a pie in the face at the end of chapel last Friday. The top scoring students had the privilege of throwing the pies. Naomi Lowe-Tina smeared a pie in Mr. Sanchez’s face, as well as hair, and Christopher Reyes smashed a pie in Mrs. Racoma’s face. 6th grade looks forward to many more challenges.

Every page we read in The Silver Chair takes us on an adventure with Jill, Eustace and Puddleglum. You never know where you are going to end up in Narnia or whether you will be the giant’s supper. C.S. Lewis keeps things interesting in all his books.

The Chronicle of Narnia, The Last Battle has been interesting for the students to read. We have to keep reminding ourselves that there is a fake Aslan. We are looking forward to when the true Aslan will come forward.

As we continue reading The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe the students were asked to draw their favorite parts of the story. I had pictures of wardrobes, fauns, the White Witch, and centaurs. It is amazing how every student liked a different part of the story.

The students finished reading C.S. Lewis’ The Silver Chair from his The Chronicles of Narnia series. We are reviewing this text as well as the past book we read in the first quarter in preparation for our mid-year final.

The students had a great time working on their entries for the Association of Christian School International (ACSI) Creative Writing Festival. The students of 8C put their best effort into creating short stories, essays, and poems. Nyaisa Anderson’s sweet poem entitled “You Said” was awesome as was Jamie Santana’s poem on eternity. It was hard selecting pieces to enter into the next level of competition and I congratulate those who were selected! Please check out Room 302’s bulletin board to see more great entries. Aside from this nice “creative” break, the students are busy preparing for their mid-year finals. Prepositions, anyone…?
