This fall, we have had many requests for a place where parents can build relationships with teachers and other ICA parents. In response to this request, we have created the ICA Parent Teacher Partnership Facebook page. This is a closed group with a mission to partner with parents and build relationships between the home and school that ensure the education of the whole child via an academically excellent, Bible-based education.

If You Give a Puppy Pumpkin Pie
On November 21, 2012, Mrs. Wieneke led a fantastic online class for students in grades 3-7 that focused on the importance of organization when writing stories. She read the book If You Give a Mouse a Cookie by Laura Numeroff and discussed how the author used the organization of her ideas, transition words, and a great ending to create a wonderful children's story. The class then went over a couple student-written paragraphs, and the children awarded scores of 1-5 for the organization within the writing samples.
The students in attendance were also challenged to create a well-organized story with a similar chain of events, building off the title "If You Give a Puppy Pumpkin Pie." Here are a couple creative examples we received in response to the extension activity.

Give Thanks in Everything
"Rejoice evermore. Pray without ceasing. In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you" (I Thessalonians 5:16-18).
As I look back on the past year, I have a lot of reasons to be thankful. God has chosen to bless me and my family, and He has chosen to bless Ignite Christian Academy.
Being truly thankful can be a difficult task. It has been for me in the past year. In November of 2011, my son was born with a terminal genetic disease. Over the following nine months, he went to countless doctor appointments, lived in a bedroom full of medical equipment, and was hospitalized on a regular basis. On his nine month birthday, he passed away from complications due to his condition.
