Boosterthon Fun Run!

We recently had our Boosterthon Fun Run!  This was a great event, focusing on fitness, fun, and our mission of spreading the Gospel!  Students asked their parents, grandparents, and friends to make pledges to go into a fund for their grade level's future mission trips.  As each students passed the lap marker, a tally was added to the sticker on their shirt, helping each child reach their goal!

Having our Boosterthon Fun Run after World Impact Day was very meaningful for our students.  Knowing they may one day take a mission trip to a place like Uganda helped connect the mission of why we were collecting money to the fun of the fun!   Read more about World Impact Day and PCA North's support of the high school Uganda mission trip here: http://pcanorthcampus.blogspot.com/search/label/All%20School%20Event

Enjoy a few pictures from this very fun day!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Learning, Learning Everywhere in Early Childhood!

It amazes me what our teachers do to create an exciting learning environment.  There is ALWAYS something going on around PCA North that makes me want to take out my camera and share with you! 

Here's a sampling of things I've seen in our PreK and kindergarten classrooms within the past few weeks.

PreK 3- Learning About Spring

If you need a smile, just head to PreK!  A Very Hungry Caterpillar theme was great as students learned more about spring. 

Kindergarten - Crazy Hair Day

Kindergarten students earned a Crazy Hair Day for their participation in the Boosterthon Fun Run
They have also been learning a lot about spring, watching caterpillars become butterflies!  Also, they found a misplaced baby bunny on the playground.  Since no nest could be found, the bunny went to live on the farm of one of our North students, after spending a little time in our "Lost and Found" bin.

 

 

 

PreK 4 - Mining for Gold

Our school utilizes a hands-on science curriculum with enriching learning experiences provided by High Touch High Tech Hands-on Science.  PreK 4 students recently learned about minerals and had an opportunity to pan for gold.  

 

 

 

 

Kindergarten - Manners Day

Who wouldn't love an entire day dedicated to manners?  Students wore their fancy clothes and Mrs. Zarycki managed to maintain her British accent for the day!  

Time for lunch - napkins in laps!

Fourth Grade Science

Fourth graders did a great job of learning about the parts of a flower.  I loved seeing their learning take a creative twist when they created their own flower, illustrating the part of the plant they had learned in class.  

 

Invention Convention - For Third Grade

One of my very favorite things to see is our students' creative side!  The third grade Invention Convention was a great opportunity for students to solve a problem in a creative way.  

It is always fun for us to show our ideas to other students in the school.  Doing so gets the brain wheels turning for younger students, knowing that the Invention Convention is a third grade tradition they will participate in some day!
