Spanish Class
In December we dealt with a chapter called Telecommunicaciones. Students learned how to talk about computers, e-mails, the Internet, faxes and telephones. They learned the formation and usage of perfect tense verbs and how to receive and make calls in Spanish.

Bible Class
Our discussions in Bible have increased greatly as we have begun to look at those that have been persecuted for the cause of Christ. Students have been amazed at how many people before them have died for their stance in Christ. A light bulb has finally gone off for a lot of them, as they see how they are so blessed to be in a Christian school where they are not persecuted on a daily basis. While we have many fun things that happen in class, moments of discussion where you see a student finally realize the significance of why we were placed here on earth, it is worth all the months of teaching.

Music Class
Students are continuing to learn the guitar. Throughout this month students will be learning three more songs. They really like coming in and playing each week. It is challenging for many of them but they seem to really be picking it up. Some have even started looking at songs they know and realize they can now play those songs on the guitar because of the chords they have learned so far. I really enjoy seeing their faces as they discover that in a few short months they have learned enough to begin playing real songs.

The Lion Sleeps Tonight
Students are learning about rhythm and expression this month. Students have been dancing and moving to the various rhythms they are learning. One of the favorites was in fourth and fifth grade where they danced and sang “The Lion Sleeps Tonight”. They really enjoyed it and had the freedom to make up their own dance as long as it matched the rhythm. Third grade got to learn rhythm through the use of tennis balls. They had a great time seeing how every beat in each measure could be demonstrated through the use of the tennis ball. Some had a hard time controlling the tennis ball at first but they really got the hang of it. The students are having a great time learning how music can be expressed through dance, movement and the use of instruments.

Bible Class
One of the tenth grade classes had the privilege of going to the Bowery mission during November. They seemed to be nervous at first but it was great to see them open up and share what God has done and what He is doing in their lives. In class we have been learning about the Beattitudes. This has been a great learning experience for the students as they see what attitudes Jesus Christ wanted us to portray in our lives. We’ve made it through half of them and I’m looking forward to what God will do in their personal lives as continue learning about them.
