Calvary Lutheran High School is in Jefferson City on the southern campus of to Lincoln University. This is the second year Calvary has been in existance. Last year, we had nine students, and this year we have twenty-three students in Calvary. Next year, we are hoping to have more students, and we will have physical education. Calvary Lutheran High School goes from the 9th to the 11th grade now. Our school has 8 periods throughout the day, except for Wednesday when we have worship. We get three minutes after each class except art, leadership, or music which come before a thirty minute lunch. The teachers at Calvary are very nice and give students individual attention helping them with their work.
The teacher in Spanish 1 is Senora Navarro. There are eleven students in our class at this time. Most of the kids in our class are from Jefferson City and Holts Summit. There is also a Spanish 2 class, and next year, there will be Advanced Spanish for the people who want to take it. We go to the computer lab every Thursday so we can use the disks that we recieved at the beginning of the year. We have a computer quiz about every month, and after we do the quiz once, we do it a couple more times. Then, we do the quiz without the book. We are learning how to say all of the family vocabulary like cousins, mother, and father. The way you say mother in Spanish is madre
, cousin is primo
, and father is padre
. We have learned the numbers are cero
which is zero through cincuenta y nueve
which is fifty-nine. In the morning Senora Navarro asks us questions like Como estas?
, and we answer Bien gracias. Y usted?
She asks us where we are from, how we are doing, and how old we are.
The teacher of Old Testament is Pastor Golden. He is also the teacher of the New Testament class. At the very first of the year, we memorized the books of the Old Testament from Genesis through Malachi. We have already done these books of the Bible:
We are now learning about Numbers, Deuteronomy, and Joshua. Our class consists of fifteen people, but there are seven more in the New Testament class. In the Old Testament class, he has taught that the first five books of the Bible are known as the Torah, and they were written by Moses. In the future, Calvary is expecting to have two more levels of Bible class above the New Testament. We are reading the whole book of Joshua and doing a homework project on it now. We did a clay project where you had to make a new kind of animal. We are about to start a new project where we either have to find five to seven pages of facts about the things that we pick. An example is the Tabernacle. We can also build a model of a place in the Bible instead of doing the typing, but it will take outside work. There is a test about every three books of the Bible. He give us a study guide for this test to make it a lot easier than to memorize the entire Bible. All you have to do is memorize the study guide.
The teacher in Algebra 2 is Mr. Hawley. We have twelve kids in our Algebra 2 class. Algebra 2 is the 5th period of the day. In the mornings, Mr. Hawley lets us come to his office and get help on our homework, and we can also check answers with each other. We will have finals the last couple days of the semester. He does not assign too many problems, so we can still have time to do other things at night. This is 10th grade math, but we have a few 9th graders in our class. We have done a lot of different things in the Algebra 2 class. We have done angles, squares, equations, etc. We take at least one quiz a week most of the time and approximatly one test a month. Next year we will have geometry and the year after trigonometry. There is also an Algebra 1 class during the day. It is the third period.
Our teacher for English 2 is Mrs. Crider. She also teachers the World History class. Mrs. Crider checks all of the things that we write and helps us correct them. She lets us write about anything that we want in her class. There are ten students in our English 2 class. Mrs. Crider puts up jokes in the morning and tells the answers to them during World History and English 2. She also puts up quotes that people have said in the past. English 2 is the 7th period along with keyboarding. All of the students in English 1 and 2 like Mrs. Crider because she is a nice teacher. All of the things that she teaches us in English 2 is relevant information. We do some capitalization, adjectives, punctuation, etc., but we mostly do writing for our class. We also read in our literature book and do homework projects on the things that we read. We do a lot of different kinds of homework projects in this class like reading a story and finishing it. We have read the Book of Sand
, and we finished the book
with a new ending. The end result of the new book ending was that it was destroyed. We went to JCTV and got to play with the audio, camera's, director's position, and Graphic's computer.
