Bible

Bible will be the start of the day for our 3-5th grade students. Each morning, students will be encouraged in their faith with a short devotion using Morning Flora Devotionals, Around the World with Animals. These lessons will take them on a journey across the globe to discover God’s fingerprints in His incredible creation. Each devotional connects scripture with an animal from around the world, providing opportunities to integrate science and geography with Bible studies. Students will work on verse memorization, map activities, and build a passport in this engaging period.

Art

Our 3rd-5th students will journey on a creative adventure of world art projects specifically chosen to enhance their learning. As they create wonderful works of art from a variety of cultures, they will learn how to incorporate different elements such as color, line, shape, balance, space and form while expanding their cultural understanding. Classmates will create art side-by-side with their peers, using various techniques and mediums including art pastels, paint, watercolors, clay, and more. Projects will be taught with the added depth of context, culture, and history, while highlighting specific artists.

Music

This year, we are thrilled to introduce our middle to upper elementary students to the ukulele! Students will share the joy of making music together, all while learning musical concepts and skills that can extend beyond the classroom. We will use the time-tested method book, Essential Elements for Ukulele. Book one focuses on foundational skills like proper holding, basic chord formations, and fundamental strumming patterns. No prior music experience is required. Students will receive beautiful mahogany wood ukuleles to play their way through fun traditional folk tunes they are sure to recognize, patriotic favorites, as well as new melodies too! Your child will have the unique opportunity to make bright, happy sounds and friends while strumming next to their classmates. Best of all, each student will take home their very own ukulele at the end of the year!

Students will explore the world of plants, delving into the incredible process of photosynthesis and learning how tiny seeds grow into blooming flowers. They'll also explore the fascinating world of insects, spiders, and crustaceans. Through hands-on activities, fun experiments, and beautiful imagery, each student will create memorable science journals that capture their learning journey!
