OCTOBER BIBLE MEMORY VERSES

Posted on by

HERE ARE THE VERSES FOR OCTOBER.  WITH THIS MONTH HAVING SO MANY SHORTENED WEEKS, WE WILL ASSIGN THE VERSES AS WE GO….

INTERMEDIATE BIBLE VERSES FOR OCTOBER 2018

Philippians 4:4-9 (NIV)

4 Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice!

5 Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near.

6 Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.

7 And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

8 Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things.

9 Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me—put it into practice. And the God of peace will be with you.

 

OUR FIRST CHAPEL AS GRADE 6 LEADERS AND GROWTH MINDSET STUDY!!

Posted on by

This past Wednesday, the Grade 6 students (and some Grade 5s) led their FIRST Chapel!!  Such an amazing opportunity to share and worship!  Some things we do:  Greet/Welcome the Intermediates at the doors, work at Tech stations, read Bible verses, open in prayer, lead the singing, play the instruments….so proud of this first group!  See photos!!

We’ve also been reviewing our “GROWTH MINDSET.”  Working at 5 different stations, we have learned that everyone can learn and improve–just keep trying and make sure you are connecting those “neurons” in your brain until they are strong!!  That takes lots of practice!  Anyway, your child should have brought home a homework assignment for YOU as PARENTS, (SMILE) to share with our class a time when YOU used GROWTH MINDSET in your past or present!!  Looking forward to hearing from you and sharing with the rest of the class!!

 

First Field Trip a Success!

Posted on by

Thank you parents for all the preparations for our first Gr. 6 Field Trip.  Forms signed, lunches packed, library cards sent, walking shoes remembered – and we were on our way!

We had a good walk from Highroad Academy to the Chilliwack Museum, and started our tour right away.  The new Museum teacher, Sarah, gave an excellent explanation of the history of Chilliwack as well as the history of mountaineering in our area.  There were many hands-on activities to engage our students.

We had a sobering moment as we viewed a tribute to a former Highroad Academy student, Marc LeClerc, one of our stellar local mountaineers, who lost his life while mountain climbing recently

After lunch, we walked over to the Chilliwack Public Library where we met the head librarian for a brief orientation and tour.  The library supplied a fun activity that helped us learn about many of the services available.  As we said goodbye, the librarian gave each of the students a gift, and the check out librarian came to me personally to thank the students for their politeness.

 

Back at the museum, we were supplied with a beautiful high-ceiling elegant reception room to use as a classroom as we learned more about Terry Fox, and enjoyed a snack before the walk back to school in the beautiful weather.

As you can see from the photo, the Chilliwack Museum is a very serious place!
