Welcome to Fourth Grade!  A start to a new adventure!

In the new wing, I now have 4 teachers. I'm learning to become more independent, organized, and responsible. I carry my own supplies to class and am responsible for knowing what I “need.”

In Social Studies, I'm learning all about Ohio. 

In Reading, we read about Milton Hershey, "Because of Winn-Dixie" and “War with Grandpa”.  

In ELA, I will learn about all the parts of speech.

Long division has been a challenge for me this year.  

However, I love learning about Natural Disasters in Science.  

As always, I continue to learn about my faith.  

The best part of all, was going to Sauder Village with my classmates.

As a 5th grader:

• I am no longer a 4th grader.
• 2nd year switching classes
• I have a better understanding of what my teachers' expectations are.
• Math classes will be harder, but will have support if needed.
• Learn about Space
• “I like digging HOLES”

Welcome to 6th grade. We would like to take this opportunity to give you some information on life in junior high. We expect you to be independent. Expect some homework but also rewards for those that exceed.  

In 6th grade, you are expected to keep track of your own work and come to the teachers when you need help.

Some highlights:

• Wax museum
• Lockers
• Student Council
• Quiz Bowl
• Camp Storer

You will receive all the necessary tools to become school leaders.

Welcome to Junior High (the high school prequel).  

In 7th and 8th grade, you will be forging the tools to help you become leaders and confident in your upcoming years of continual education. We will be addressing algebra skills, essay writing, and leadership skills. We will be there to help guide you at your level so that you can grow. There will be work to do, but you will be given a lot of independence and privileges. There will be field trips to Camp Damascus and Washington D.C. You will grow socially, spiritually, and mentally. And then, as 8th graders, you will be ready for the most glorious celebrations of accomplishments.
