Fifth Grade Recognition

Each year KRCS recognizes the fifth graders. Moving to Middle School is exciting! The recognition begins with the fifth grade walking through the Lower School halls for the last time on their way to the gym. The students, faculty, and parents applaud them as they pass. During the ceremony, the students thank their parents as well as their current and past teachers. The students make a fun slideshow with Mrs. Williams and there is an additional slideshow with photos of each student. The students are recognized individually and given a Wordle which contains the character traits listed by their classmates to describe each of them. Finally, the Middle School principal welcomes the class. Love watching my previous students each year! Both Danielle and Steven had sisters in this class. Congratulations to them all!

Google Maps

Today we went to the computer lab and used the satellite view on Google Maps. We found KRCS, our homes, and then looked at famous places all over the world. The lab was filled with excitement as they found each new place.

Wordle

We learned how to use a fun site called Wordle today. Unfortunately, the computers in the lab weren’t cooperative. The children want to try to make a Wordle at home. They make great gifts.

Blessings

God blessed our socks off!
The Lower School had a special dress down day to celebrate God’s provisions over KRCS. Through the generosity of KRCS families and partnering donors, we achieved our goal to raise $10 million to build the new High School.
With God, all things are possible!  (Matthew 19:26)  The Ground Blessing will be held this Friday.

Comparing With Adjectives

We have been learning how to use “er” and “est” to compare with adjectives.
We discovered that sometimes you need to use the words more or most.
It was fun using our families to practice this concept.

Mrs. Yeska


We celebrated Mrs. Yeska’s retirement at chapel. She taught in Dekalb Public Schools for 30 years before she was a founding KRCS staff member 11 years ago. Paula has been my partner in second grade for six years, so preparing to honor her was a labor of love. I recorded 15 of our former students that are currently in third through fifth grade. They shared favorite memories that made her laugh and cry. My current class made her a book that expressed why we think she is so awesome and the school presented her with a beautiful plant for her garden. She will be celebrated further at our staff luncheon. Leave Mrs. Yeska a comment to tell her how much she is appreciated by you.

If I could Teach You Teacher

If I could teach you, teacher,
I’d teach you how much more
you have accomplished
than you think you have
I’d show you the seeds
you planted years ago
that are now coming into bloom.
I’d reveal to you the young minds
that have expanded under your care,
the hearts that are serving others
because they had you as a role model.
If I could teach you, teacher,
I’d show you the positive effect
you have had on me and my life.
Your homework is
to know your value to the world,
to acknowledge it, to believe it.
Thank you, teacher.

Dining Hall Staff

We are blessed to have healthy, delicious lunches that are prepared and served by a friendly, helpful staff. Each class has made a banner and we will fill the dining hall with them on Monday to express our gratitude to the dining hall team.
