A Servant's Heart
When I think of who personifies the term Servant's H eart, I think of Bob Natt. Bob is a man of many gifts, and he blesses New Life Christian School daily with them. He has spent many years of unwavering devotion to our school coaching teams, fixing and building structures, painting parking lot lines, driving on school trips, refereeing basketball games, assisting his wife with the worship team when needed: the list is endless! Thank You, Bob, for all you do. It is appreciated very much.
 He is married to Susan and has three children: Kayla (Sophomore), Kloey (8th Grade), and Kingston (1st Grade) who have attended our school since preschool!

Playing the Place Value Game



We are also learning about insects in Science. Each student has chosen an insect and is working on their own insect book.
Charleigh is fascinated with the honeycomb.

3/4 Grade
The 3/4 grade class is studying Queen Esther in October to go along with their royal scripture memorization theme this school year. They made crowns to help them remember God chose Esther for a special purpose. "Our God turned the curse into a blessing." Nehemiah 13:2...No matter what circumstances we are in, we know God has a plan for us. 
5th & 6th Grade
        In science, we have just finished learning about insects. We focused much of our time on bees. We were very excited to see and study a honey comb in class that a local bee keeper lent us for a few days.  Now, our focus has switched to mammals. Each student has chosen a mammal to do their report, poster, and will present it to the class at the end of October. 
        In history and geography, we are learning about ancient civilizations, starting with Mesopotamia. We are also memorizing the oceans, seas, and continents. We will be learning more about Asia in the next month.
        In 5th grade math, students are working on place values with decimals, comparing decimals, and rounding decimals. They are also working hard on keeping their times tables memorized  with regular drills and games.

 

7th & 8th Grade
The 7th & 8th graders are studying the solar system. Students are paired up with their project. Each pair chose a planet to make a poster about, and now they are using paper mache and balloons to make the planet they chose. This is all in preparation for Jr. High Science Night!
