Week of October 11th - 15th

This past week in First Grade has been very busy!  We have had lots of excitement and activity that gave us lots to which to look forward.  The anticipation grows every day as HCA's Mission Party grows closer and closer!

In Science, First Grade has been learning about how scientists use their 5 senses.  We have done several experiments using our 5 senses, just like scientists.  Last Friday, First Grade completed the "Skittles Surprise" experiment.  The students observed and recorded the changes they saw happening, once the Skittles were dropped in the water.  First Grade was very surprised by what happened to the "S's" that were printed on the Skittles!

This week, HCA celebrated Founder's Day on Wednesday.  The staff and students joined together in a prayer service, where each class' service partners for the school year were announced.  

On Thursday, HCA celebrated Founder's Day with activities led by Middle School.  The students were all eager to participate!  The Lower School began the day with a story about Cornelia Connelly.  Then it was time for our groups to rotate through the activity stations.  First Grade had a wonderful time throughout the morning and continued to talk about it for the rest of the day.  The activities were definitely an enjoyable experience for everyone!
