 Enjoy some pictures of our class at last week’s pep rally. We love our school!

We had the privilege of watching God’s amazing design close up through the transformation of our monarch butterfly! After its wings dried on Friday it was released outside. We love the connections this makes to learning about God as creator, sustainer, and provider of good things. We know that getting to know His creation fosters in us a greater love of caring for what He created as well. Here are some pictures of the big day when it emerged from the chrysalis!   

Last week our students got a chance to see how history and math intersect! We learned how ancient Egyptians used cubits (the length from the elbow to fingertips) and palms as measurements. Our module focuses on precise measurements, and after trying it out ourselves, we were able to discuss why there was a need for standard units (especially when we saw the differences in a second grader’s cubit vs. an adult!). We did see the wisdom in having benchmarks like this to make estimates, but the necessity to measure with a standardized tool for accuracy. It was one more way that second graders are order discoverers, noting God’s intentional design in math all around us. Here are some pictures of students measuring widths of their desks, windows, and doorways with these ancient units before using centimeters instead!  

 We were honored to have the Sheboygan Fire Department visit our school to talk to our kids about being proactive when it comes to fire safety! They talked through scenarios and potential home safety plans. We also got to see the fire truck and even climb inside. We are so appreciative of these first responder community members in Sheboygan. Here are some pictures from their visit last week Tuesday.
