TIME FOR AN UPDATE!

What a fulfilling, wonderful year it has been so far!

I must admit...despite (or perhaps because of) all the fun we've had in my classes since September, I have forgotten all about this blog! Here's hoping for a fresh start on getting the posts up more regularly!

Here are some photos that highlight some of the exciting things we've done so far:

 In the fall, my Bible 7 students created posters on their iPads, using the Beatitudes for inspiration!

 Here are some of my 6th Graders, presenting their poster on the Israelite civilization in History class!

 A 7th Grade student presenting her very own Superhero in the "Superheroes" elective!

 An awesome time of worship in Chapel!

 My Yearbook staff, celebrating a completed yearbook for 2013-14!

 Students from my "Right Stuff" Engineering Elective, learning about what makes airplanes fly!

 In March, I attended the CUE (Computer-Using Educators) Conference and learned a lot about how teachers can use technology in their classrooms!

 Actor/Producer LeVar Burton was the keynote speaker at the CUE Conference!

 Later in March, I accompanied the 6th Graders to the Whitewater Preserve near Palm Springs, CA!

 My big 6th Grade son and me at the Whitewater Preserve.

 Two 6th Grade girls at the Whitewater Preserve!

 In History, we used iPads to create comparative topographies for some of the civilizations we've studied so far!

 History students, presenting their poster about India!

 Like, totally awesome girls on 80s Day!

 Using my iPad to display a book that was being read via Audible to my Bible students!

 Me and some of our Junior Highers at Farrell's on a fundraiser night!

 Making a map of the campus in our Cartography class!

 Oh! Did I mention I grew a mustache? It was shaved off by January, but fun while it lasted!

 Some of my 6th Grade students at the Holyland Exhibit in Los Angeles!
