Third Grade Historical Character Fair

This year the third graders were assigned a biography book report with 5 presentation options. They could choose to present dressed up in costume, create a puppet, create a time line of the life of their character, create illustrations highlighting key events, or complete a written report. All students had to complete a Biblical Reflection of His/Her Life where they reflected on how the character's life did or did not honor the Lord. For the oral portion of the report, all third grade students lined the Sanctuary Hallway, and classes from Pre-K- 5th Grade came out to hear our third graders present. It was a great experience for our third graders as well as the elementary students and parents who learned from the presentations!

Celebrating World Cultures in Kindergarten




Kindergarten is celebrating world cultures this month in their social studies unit. The students in Mrs. Eynon's class spent time discovering different cultures and recognizing the fact that there are children all over the world who are just like them. Each student created a mask with a particular culture in mind. The masks are an awesome reminder of the fact that Jesus died for all the people groups of the world.


100 Acts of Love at CCA

Mrs. Eynon's kindergarten students were challenged to perform 100 unsolicited "acts of love" in celebration of Valentine's Day and the 100th day of school. Students were able to relate their acts of service to God's sacrificial love for us. The students found that serving others gave them more joy than receiving "stuff."

Wacky Wednesday Was Wild and Wonderful!












Mrs. Eynon's kindergarten class had fun on Wacky Wednesday eating Green Eggs and Ham. The students actually loved the green eggs! In order to celebrate Dr. Seuss's birthday in a style he would have loved, the elementary students came to school dressed as wacky as the characters in his books. All had a wild and wonderful day.

Who wants to run 26.2 miles?

That was the question answered by 16 CCA students. They took on the challenge to run 25 miles in 5 weeks and then ran their last 1.2 miles at the A1A Marathon on Feb. 22nd. They crossed the official finish line amid a cheering crowd and learned that perseverance can make a huge task possible and the reward that much sweeter!
