I hope that you can forgive me for not updating the website in recent weeks. A host of events have really taken its toll on my schedule and something had to fall by the wayside. Is it just me, or do you have a lot of friends who are hurting this season? God has stretched me and used me and I feel I will finish the week with His enduring strength, and His hand upon me. I have felt the prayers of many in the past few weeks and I am appreciative of them all. He is my joy and refuge and your prayers support my ministry here at Cornerstone!
I am looking forward to the dinner and evening of celebration Thursday night. Make sure you stop by and see the dapper gentlemen and lovely ladies who will be in charge of the evening's events! It will be fun. I hope all can make it!
6th Grade Bible
I hope you have seen the new prayer journals, and I hope your child has been using it. This journal will be a chronicle of the classroom and individuals as we explore the depths and nuances of prayer. We are taking a little leave from the book and this week students are exploring the ABC's of prayer (due Thursday). As I shared with them, this is not an art project, but a heart project. The goal is to find something related to prayer, found in prayer or the scriptures, for every letter of the alphabet. A scripture passage should be attached for every word and letter of the alphabet. It is through prayer that people and the world are changed, I am sure of it. I hope we can open up a world of excitement as we explore this fascinating topic.
6th Grade Earth Science
We will now begin to explore space travel and this is a fascinating topic that I hope will excite every student. The wonders of space travel and the possibilities of living on another world or moon, is intriguing. As this is the last week before Christmas break, it should come as no surprise that some students are already moving into orbit with all the energy and excitement of the season! It is a glorious time and we will dream about the future.
7th Grade Life Science
After coloring their way through DNA and chromosome duplication, students will be building models of DNA and acting out how it works! It should be fun and bring good understanding to this engaging topic of living organisms. It is the stuff of life and there is amazing detail, complexity and simplicity in this awesome process. There will be a test on the chapter Thursday.
Don't forget, the Science camp will happen in February and while many have made deposits and a few have fully paid, you may want to make another deposit for the trip soon.
8th Grade Physical Science
A few groups are working on a project about a particular wavelength of energy. Some have opted to take the test which will be on Wednesday. Either way, I am excited to see the results of the work. As we uncover the electromagnetic spectrum, we will be working our way toward the Goldstone Apple Valley Radio Telescope project that will have our students collecting radiowave data from space for scientists at Jet Propulsion Laboratory to use. More information will follow in the new year.
