Wonderful things are happening in the Elementary Library Media Center!
What a great place to visit!

CHILDREN'S CROWN AWARD: The reading contest has begun! Students in third through fifth grades are pursuing their reading goals to qualify and be able to come to the Voting Party in April. They only need to read 3, 4, or 5 books, but some will set their goals higher and may read all 20 books on the list. That's quite an accomplishment to attain!

ANSWERS IN GENESIS CONFERENCE: Ken Ham spoke to all elementary students in October. He sparked an interest in learning more about Creation vs. Evolution as well as dinosaurs. We were blessed to purchase many resources from the conference and a large Time Line to add to our collection.

LEARNING IN THE LIBRARY: CAROLINA NELSON, a fifth grader, read a book entitled, Josefina's Craft Book by Tamara England. It tells about life on a ranch in nineteenth century New Mexico and gives instructions for a variety of related craft projects. After reading the book, Carolina then made the cutest denim shoes by following the instructions. What will YOU learn from a library book today???

WE LOVE READING!!! Miss Herrmann's class loves when parents come in and read to us each week!! Every Thursday a parent comes in to read for about 20 minutes. No one knows which parent will be walking in, not even their child. It's a mystery! Many of the parents bring in special treats along with it. For example, Mrs. Hughes brought in Monkey cupcakes for us to enjoy while she read a funny monkey book. And Mrs. Ouellette brought in chocolate chip cookies when she read "If You Give a Mouse a Cookie". We are so blessed by this time. Thank you parents for taking the time out of your busy schedules to come in! :o)

Happy November!

Hopefully, you had a chance to take part in our annual Calvary Christian Academy International Day on October 29th. The students were dressed like missionaries from all over the world in breathtaking outfits. The performances were amazing and this event was the best yet. We can hardly wait to see what next year brings.

Upcoming events include: The 1st - 3rd Christmas Outreach program. Students in grades 1-3 will take the Christmas story out to the community and each class will perform the drama with music. The Fine Arts teachers have been working hard along with the classes to teach students the program. Each class will choose a venue where their class will perform.

Please pray for each class performance that they may touch many lives and the true meaning of Christmas is shared throughout our community.

We have been blessed with an amazing volunteer, Janice White. She has offered to use her gifts and talents to make costumes needed for this outreach. She continues to spend long hours sewing for our students that are participating in The Christmas Story.

We are still looking for volunteers, if you are interested please email kimberlya@ccaeagles.org

In the Spring, the Fourth graders will be presenting a community outreach with an Easter drama.

The Fifth grade will be presenting an end of the year musical on the last day of school June 2, 2011. The fifth grade have been working very hard in the Fine Arts wheel, in drama, movement and chorus. We are looking for volunteers to help with the success of these performances.
