Another Week!

            Another week has come and gone! Oh, how the time flies, and memories are made. Last week tests went very well! Many of the students that have struggled to most in the years past were able to rise up and do so well! In fact some of them reached to the top of the class! These little victories made more than my week! Their faces, filled with pride, with success, and with joy will stay with me forever! Many of these students always had it in their head that they could never succeed so well in math or science. Yet with the Lord’s grace and blessing on me and my students we were all able to reach to new heights! Thank you so much for all of your prayers with this week!

            Art club went very well on Wednesday and yesterday! Wednesday was our second day on drawings for the advanced students and we tried several different techniques! We loosened up our wrists and tried drawing from a far with long rulers. Tomorrow we will continue with some more drawing techniques. As for our younger art club we worked on making collages, by combining ripped up pieces of colored paper. It was a lot of fun as you see with these pictures! We even tried shading with different shades of the color!

           We are now studying life on earth, what allows it to be livable, how organisms adapt and develop, and other components of our changing world! In math we have moved on to computations, multiplications, and addition and subtraction properties. We have already made the water cycle in a jar, are beginning a research project on different organisms, and will dive into using microscopes!!!!
Firsts:
Sorry nothing too much to report! I was able to spend so great time with other teachers and students after school. It was a long week with all the tests, but a good week!

Prayer Request:
- As always please pray for my students, their parents, other teachers, and the new teachers coming.
- We have been paced with challenges as have the students and we all need to strength and wisdom in these situations.

  1. Drawing with the ends of long rulers is flashing me back to Kathy's class last spring! :) Haha, good times! I've loved reading your blog and am thankful that things are going so well for you, Courtney :) Praying for you often!
