2nd Graders Demonstrate Servant Hearts

As 1 Timothy 4:12 says, “Don’t let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith, and in purity” and that is exactly the message that Mrs. Welch is instilling in the hearts and minds of her second-grade students.

“I want the students to know that they’re not too young to begin a lifestyle of missions!” said Mrs. Welch. “I tell them we don’t want to be just hearers of the word but doers.” 

 Mrs. Welch has set up a service project once a month in order for her students to practice being doers.

Teaming together with ECBC, in the month of December they sent notes with Bible verses to the prison ministry. In January, they sent Get Well notes to Mrs. Jody’s father, “Papa” after he went through surgery, and they will send Valentines Day hearts to the prison ministry once again.

May we all take a lesson from Mrs. Welch’s second graders and demonstrate the love of Christ to others in big and small ways.

Lower School Goes To Mars!

People have long wondered what it would be like to visit Mars, and this year Mrs. Peek’s STEM classes may have an opportunity to do just that.

Currently, a NASA rover by the name of Perseverance is on its way to Mars, scheduled to make a landing on February 18. As students prepare for the landing of the rover, they will be participating in lessons that will focus on different activities each week.

Week One: Mars VideoWeek Two: Design Rovers
Week Three: Mars Scavenger Hunt / Code a Rover
Week Four: Make Mars Helicopter (via the Computer)
Week Five: Celebrate the Landing (Hopeful for a successful landing) 

Ms. Peek says that doing these types of STEM activities, “encourages students to be involved with exciting scientific achievements happening in the world. This also gives them a hands on approach and connection to the Perseverance mission. They are getting the chance to hear from members of the team that built this rover.”

With opportunities such as this, it is no wonder PCA students continue to shoot for the stars (and planets) in all that they do.
