100 Days Never Gets Old!
One of the favorite traditions at Grace Elementary is the celebration of 100 Days of School. This year was no exception: If you were on campus this week you may have wondered why so many tiny old people were walking around. That was because our K1 classes were celebrating the 100th day of school! It is always such an exciting day for our kindergarten students as they have been building up each day for this moment in the school year. It’s also a great reminder that we are well over halfway through the school year and very much on the downward swing of our school year. We always look forward to celebrating 100 days: it never gets old!

Teacher Stephanie Martinez shares The Big Book Project which was assigned to the 8th Grade Honors English class as a culminating project for their independent reading book. The students used a poster board to create a "big book" that displays a re-designed cover, character sketches, a detailed plot diagram, a literary analysis of theme, and a book review. The Grace 8th graders displayed impressive results and creativity on this project and had fun doing it! One student, Norah, said, "This project let us use our imagination and creativity," and another student, Candace, said, "The Big Book Project was fun and made my mind wrap around all the parts of my book." Congratulations to the 8th grade honors english class and to Mrs. Martinez for a successful project. We are so proud of you!
This past November, the faculty and staff at Grace School gathered for an in-service day where Dr. Jordan Morton, Dean and Associate Professor at the Master's University, led them through important topics relevant to teachers and the classroom of today. Of highest priority for Christian schools is being able to define what it means to have a Biblical worldview and then how it is specifically implemented in each and every subject. We discussed other current topics such as AI and Social Media and the best practices concerning both.
