This week we are highlighting the third grade. The students have been fine-tuning their flying carpets getting them ready to fly. We have been keeping the windows closed and the door shut. I recounted the story of the great King Solomon‘s carpet that was reportedly made of green silk with a golden weft, sixty miles long and sixty miles wide. That’s the distance from Chicago to Aurora. When Solomon sat upon the carpet he was caught up by the wind, and sailed through the air so quickly that he could have breakfast in Damascus and dinner in Media. (That’s like going from Quest Academy to New York City.) The wind followed Solomon’s commands, and ensured the carpet would go to the proper destination. The carpet was shielded from the sun by a canopy of birds.

The Preschoolers branched out and planted there feet on the ground while leaving a good impression on there fall tree project.

Junior kindergarten had everything covered this week by priming and painting there puzzle necklaces.

During the Tarantula down pour last week, to go along with their insect unit the kindergarten class surfed the web learning about spiders and how to make a spider web.

After a week of sanding. The First graders got to stirrup the paint and started painting their horses.

The Second graders under water drawings are looking very soFISHicated. They finished up the drawing part of the project and are now inking them.
