Caroline's Thoughts on "Down by the Creekbank"

Last night we performed Down by the Creekbank. It was so much fun! Some people had solos or talked. The solos were "Senses", "Germs", "Being Me", "Love Is", and "He Plants Me Like a Seed". In my class Chandler, Megan, and I did some solos. Chandler sang Love Is, Megan sang He Plants Me like a Seed, and I sang Being Me. Will, Taylor, David, Bryant, and Jefferson talked. It was so funny! I hope that everyone who saw the play was touched and loved it!

Caroline

Bryant's Thoughts on "Down by the Creekbank"

I learned that God is with you. I liked when Will said I caught a fish . I didn't want to eat that fish. I loved the music.

Will's Thoughts on "Down by The Creekbank"

My thoughts on Down by The Creekbank were that you should never forget God. The part that I liked the most was getting to be a true fisherman. My least favorite part was not getting to eat the sandwich when we passed it around during the song called "Multiply". The part that I enjoyed the most was yelling "I caught a fish, I caught a fish", and then it not being a fish, but it was a rubber boot. I also liked when Emma Grace and Megan Patch sang a solo on the song
"Germs, My Invisible Dog. My favorite part was when Brady did the echoes. I also enjoyed getting to wear a fishing vest. I caught a stuffed fish. I used a bamboo cane pole to go fishing in the creek. Down by The Creekbank was very fun!!!


-Will

Connor's Thoughts on "Down by the Creekbank"

Last night at Covenant Fellowship 25th we had a play called Down by creek bank and I was a stagehand. My favorite song was being me. I rang bells for it. My second favorite was germs my invisible Dog. My brother Kendall hooked a fish and a boot. After the play Bro. Dean said a few words. Well that's all I have to say.

Taylor's Thoughts on"Down by the Creekbank"

Last night in "Down by the Creekbank" we sang lots of song. The classes were kindergarten, first, second, third, fourth, and fifth. The stage was the coolest thing I ever saw!

Kendall's Thoughts on ''Down by the Creekbank"

Last night at my school we did a play called, well it's up there. My favorite part was when I had to hook a boot on a Fishing pole, but it gave me a crick in the neck. I felt weird but I had to do it. Well, the music was the best, like germs.

Megan's Thoughts on "Down by the Creekbank"

I sang a song and I was nervous. My friend Caroline sang a song. We had fun. The kindergarten was in there too. Brady said the echoes.

Jefferson's Thoughts On ''Down By The Creekbank''.

I had so much fun doing this play. I loved hanging out with my friends last night. I liked showing the people what I can do. We put on an awesome play. I think after this play I have more courage.

John Thomas' Thoughts on "Down by the Creekbank"

I thought that it was the best thing that I've done in a long time. I liked it a lot. My Nana thought that it was the best play she saw in her entire life. I thought it was good too. They used my glow in the dark stars for decoration. I had a life jacket with fish hooks in it.

A few weeks ago we (at home) made a Solar System with whatever we wanted. I made mine out of styrofoam. They came painted, but I made them look real. It took a while but I got it done. I made sure they were in order and looked right. The order of the planets are Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto. I had so much fun!

My science project was a plant cell and an animal cell. I had a lot of fun on this project because I got to do it with play dough and things from home.

Science Projects

Both grades completed models of plant and animal cells. They worked very hard on these projects. I am so proud of their creativity. I will let each student create a post about his/her project so you all can see for yourselves.

Way to go, Caroline!


Way to go, Caroline on your Second Place Award in pencil drawing in the art contest at the fair. It was exciting to see one of our students with an award. You did a great job on your drawing. I know you are excited about taking violin lessons. I can't wait to hear you play.

Fair Trip






A few fun fair photos.






What a difference a year makes


My, how they've grown! The top picture is of Caroline, JT, and Jefferson and outside the petting zoo at the fair last September as 4th graders. I practically had to tie them down yesterday to get them to let me to take the same picture of them as 5th graders. I made them rotate seats so that I could have a picture of them in the same seating arrangement. It really got on their nerves, but I couldn't resist. I think JT gets the award for most growth/change.

A silly pose



After posing for several pictures, I asked the students to give me their silliest pose. This is what I got. You know there is more silliness in them than this. I will let you all now when I capture it. We are having a great time in 4th/5th grade. The kids are learning a lot. I am still amazed everyday how much they learn from each other. They completed plant/animal cell models in science. I will post pictures soon. We are currently working on adding and subtracting with large numbers in math. In language we are studying the subject and predicate parts of sentences. They are pros at this. In social studies we are working on map skills. We are studying modern-day Bible heroes and the history of hymns. We have learned about making choices that honor God everyday.
