- There are so many ways to get involved for the Spring Semester. Find our Volunteer Opportunities HERE.
- Save the date for Jumpstart! Our annual beginning of the year retreat will be August 18-20th. Be on the lookout for more information coming soon!
- We are so excited to kick off our final chapter of the year – Statistics! Students will be diving into real-world data as they learn how to read, interpret, and create graphs that help tell meaningful stories.
- As we wrap up the year, we’ll also be preparing for our end-of-year MAP testing, which will take place on April 22 and 23. This is a great opportunity for students to show off how much they’ve grown this year – we can’t wait to celebrate their progress!
- To finish the year strong, students will complete a final project that reviews all the important concepts we’ve learned throughout the year. We’ll also explore some mini units on 7th-grade standards to challenge students and give them a head start on next year’s learning!
Question: Why was the geologist feeling sedimentary? A: He needed to rest!
Fourth quarter science will be all about rocks and minerals. Many kids enjoy learning about this facet of geology. We will practice identifying minerals using testing methods, and learn about the rock cycle and the three rock types: sedimentary, igneous, and metamorphic. If you have any gneiss samples of rocks and/or minerals you’re willing to share with your students’ class, we will not take the loan for granite! All puns aside, we love teaching your children about the fascinating and ever-changing world God has made!
- During the fourth quarter, we will complete our reading of Where the Red Fern Grows by writing essays and sharing projects.
- Each of the students will be choosing a nonfiction book to read independently in class. Through reading the informational texts, we will develop various reading and writing skills.
- Within our grammar units, we will practice using pronouns, adjectives, and adverbs correctly.
- Membean homework will resume after Easter!
We are wrapping up Egypt this week and jumping into Ancient India!
This quarter, our 6th-grade classes will continue learning about Sanctification! In the coming weeks, we’ll be learning how to do specific Spiritual Disciplines they can practice to grow closer to God.
We will start Koine Greek after spring break until the end of the school year. Students will learn the Greek alphabet and how to write it. We will compare the characters of the Greek gods to the character of Yahweh. We will also learn the original Greek of the words: Love: Agape, Word: Logos, Life: Zoe, Faith: Pistis, Grace: Charis, Peace: Eirene, and Fellowship: Koinonia.

We have loved getting to know your 6th-grade student this year! Thank you for helping us prepare for 2026-2027 by submitting course requests for your child. In 7th grade, each student takes core academic classes, PE/Health, and one elective. Each August, schedules are released about one week before classes resume. Please reach out with any questions. We are praying for you and your student.
Service Hours are due in just a few weeks (May 1)! All students should enter at least 16 Service Hours in the “HelperHelper” assignment in their “Service” Canvas class. Email Miss Barbieri or Mr. Reed with any questions!
