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 prepared especially for them. These devotions will include a featured virtue of the month, learning hymns, and making global connections as we learn about missionaries around the world.

​

Art

Our Art students will be working from a combination of the Artistic Pursuits curriculum and art projects specifically chosen to enhance their learning. As they create wonderful works of art they will learn how to incorporate different elements such as color, line, shape, balance, space and form. 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

Our middle-upper elementary students will ring their way into the world of music! We will use Foncannon’s Boom-a-Tunes, vol. 2 curriculum with pitched bells. No prior music experience is required. Students ring colorful bells to play their way through fun, great- sounding music, learning new things and creating bright sounds with their classmates. Music reading on the treble clef is reviewed, but volume two takes the class further into the beginnings of stacking basic chords in root position. The fundamental meters of 4/4 and 3/4 continue but the new meter of 6/8 is introduced as well. As the course progresses, students are challenged to count rests and ring their bell on the correct beat, and to keep a close read of the musical staff and only play when their bell pitch is indicated.

 

Fresh, upbeat, creative accompaniment encourages students to be a part of something bigger than themselves as they play their parts along with the CD and their classmates. Designed to meet the national standards for music education, volume 2 lessons review the foundations of music, then introduce the next level of music skills and knowledge. Learning activities include singing, performing on an instrument, improvising melodies, variations and accompaniments, composing and arranging music within guidelines, reading and notating music, analyzing music, and connecting music to history, the arts, and other disciplines.

​Science

Welcome to our exciting science program! This year, we're thrilled to present two engaging units from The Good and the Beautiful: Space Science and Geology. Students will explore the wonders of the solar system, delving into space exploration, planets, and stars. They'll also uncover how natural phenomena like volcanoes, floods, and earthquakes shaped our planet, while learning about erosion, the rock cycle, minerals, and gems. Through hands-on activities, fun experiments, and beautiful imagery, each student will create memorable science journals that capture their learning journey!

Physical Education and Health

Our Physical Education and Health class will focus on fitness being fun!  We will burn off energy and have a great time with others by incorporating different interactive games.  A portion of the games include aspects from various sports for example: four-square, Frisbee golf, four-square volleyball, and doctor dodgeball. We will also incorporate general games and stretching that allow us to have fun and move our bodies. In this combination class students will explore the amazing design of their bodies, discovering how they are fearfully and wonderfully made! Through engaging lessons about cells, body systems, hair, skin, and more, students will develop body awareness while acknowledging God as their Creator. This is a fantastic opportunity to exercise, build teamwork skills, and cover health topics, all while having fun with friends.
