P.E. News

Our focus for the first two weeks of P.E. in February will be on jumping rope.  The kids will have the opportunity to work with short ropes and long ropes.  Each student will be assessed on jumping a certain number of times in a row based on their grade level.  After jump rope, 3rd-8th graders will be spending several weeks playing volleyball.  The younger students will be working on various motor skills, like jumping and leaping.  They will also be practicing underhand and overhand skills

3^rd Grade News

The 3^rd graders have been learning about Egypt.  As a concluding activity, they will have an open house for their parents or other special guests next week Friday, February 15 in the afternoon.  More details will be forthcoming next Monday

8th Grade News:

Attention Rockford Christian School Family and Friends:

Make sure that you have the 8th Grade Class Play penciled in on your calendar for this Friday, February 8! The play starts at 7:00 p.m., and this year the play will be “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory,” which is adapted from the fantasy written by Roald Dahl. Your evening at the play will guarantee many laughs, since a comical spin is put on this unique story.  This is a very family fun oriented play, and is a great idea for a night out!  Willy Wonka concessions will be available.  Hope to see you there!

Family Time:

Thanks to Mr. Kuiper for leading us in singing and praising God.
