Acts is the book where the church starts moving. Ordinary people spill out of Jerusalem, argue about what comes next, get arrested, get shipwrecked, and somehow keep going. It reads like a story because it is one. Join us for A Visual View of the Bible, an adult Sunday School class that watches Scripture instead […]

Kindergarten students wrapped up their first Superkids unit by bringing the beloved story of Stone Soup to life in the classroom. Both kindergarten classes read the same book, but each made their own pot of soup — two classrooms, one story, two delicious pots of Stone Soup. After reading the tale together, students in each […]

MaryKate — everyone’s favorite four-legged friend — paid a visit to 6th grade on Tuesday, right after the students wrapped up their first MAP testing session of the year. Talk about perfect timing! After a morning of focused testing, the students welcomed MaryKate with open arms (and lots of belly rubs). The kids were absolutely […]

4th grade got some quality silent reading time in this week, with a little extra motivation from some special reading buddies! Magnetized Disney stuffies kept students company and helped them stay focused and on task during independent reading. Reading is a big part of the 4th grade day, whether it’s reading together as a class, […]
