3rd - 5th Grade

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. 

World Music Drumming

A unique classroom music experience, this cross-cultural curriculum explores so much more than just drums! Students develop communication skills, practice listening and cooperative teamwork, and respect for others as they work in small and large drum ensembles. Lessons explore African and South American cultures through learning various drumming traditions, how to play other percussion equipment, performing in drum ensembles that explore interesting, layered rhythms, coordinating music with movement and song, creating new drum ensembles, and much more. Tucked into this active learning class are lessons that include geography, vocabulary, short cultural videos, and bringing traditional folk stories to life! This class works best with larger numbers and includes 3rd-5th and 6th-8th grades. Students will be required to try new things and regularly participate in class.

​Science

Dinosaurs, fossils, levers, pulleys, and more! This year we are excited to offer two engaging units of Science from The Good and the Beautiful, Paleontology and Motion & Simple Machines. Students will love learning about dinosaurs, archaeology, and ancient artifacts. They will also learn about levers, pulleys, motion, force, gravity and so much more. Lessons will be taught through hands-on activities, fun science experiments, videos, and with beautiful imagery. Each student will have their own science journal for both units of study which will serve as a memorable record of their learning.

 

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 we will include health lessons that will teach students about playing well with others, sharing, kindness, all about emotions and more. This class will be a great opportunity to exercise, develop team building skills, cover health topics, and have fun with friends.
