7th grade this year will be taking a quest in search of character. Too many young people and adults lack the character that Christ desires to see in us. We are going to learn the importance of Godly Character and how we can best display that. On top of that we will be discussing creation, the fall and salvation.
Mr. Lopez
This year is a special year in 6th grade Bible. We will be discussing and learning how we can run the best race possible. We will be learning different spiritual training regiments, how to listen to our coach and the importance of endurance. On top of that we will be discussing creation, the fall and salvation.

The Sophomores began the year preparing for proofs. They are studying vocabulary and properties. They have learned how to construct segment and angle bisectors and they are able to calculate distance and find the midpoint.

The Juniors are working hard in Math. Our goal is the Math B Regents in June. We have been working very hard at graphing functions with and without a calculator.
Mrs. Wong
Seniors have 2 goals this year in Math – the Regents and the SAT. They have been practicing using a calculator to graph various functions. They are very focused and are working very hard.
Mrs. Wong
The seniors began their first year of Physics by studying motion. They measured how far a toy car can travel and how far a marble on a ramp can roll.

The juniors were introduced to chemistry by making a class Periodic Table. Each student researched one element and displayed that information along with visuals for the class to enjoy. In lab the students observed signs of a chemical reaction. They mixed different solutions and recorded the changes that they saw: a color change, the formation of a precipitate; or bubbles.

This drama class emphasizes the importance of the spoken word, and thus students will be practicing and preparing a variety of speeches, dramas, skits, and recitations. Last week we studied clips of great speakers (Martin Luther King Jr., Winston Churchill, FDR, etc.) and used them as models before giving our own improptu speeches. This week we will be sharing personal experience speeches and discussing preparations for the speech meet in March.

In the first few weeks of class, students have discussed the meaning of civilization, and have talked about how the creation of civilizations is actually a fulfillment of God’s creation mandate (that humans should fill and subdue the earth). Since we are made in God’s image, humans have the ability to create, to order their surroundings, and to think, speak, and write. These things enable us to form civilizations. We reviewed the Paleolithic Era and the Neolithic Revolution and are now beginning with a unit on Mesopotamia and Egypt, in which we are reading Babylonian creation and flood myths and comparing them to the Biblical accounts.
Mrs. Lapp
This week in Grammar we are learning about prepositional phrases. We are also using them to write poems that involve animals. The students’ use of prepositional phrases can be both creative and quite amusing. For example: Last night I dreamed of sharks. There were sharks everywhere. They were bathing in my tub, biting on my sheets, chewing up my books, and swimming across my floor.
