From the Administrator Greetings,

Well, here we are, focusing on the end of the school year already!

As we plan and think about graduation, plan end-of-year field trips, and even prepare for next year, I am encouraged by the good year that we have had here at Cornerstone. We have much to be thankful for, despite everything going on in the world.

The high school will be going on an end-of-the-year little getaway in early May to Hidden Hills, which is near Stoddard, WI. This is a small locally owned and operated farm resort. The students will do a reenactment of the Civil War, using paintball guns, and we will also be camping there overnight.

I want to acknowledge our two graduating seniors this year: Hallia Baird and Deacan Carpenter. Hallia joined Cornerstone in 10th grade and has been a blessing to the school with her quiet demeanor and giving spirit. Deacan has been a part of CCA since pre-Kindergarten and has always been faithful to help at all school events and fundraisers. While we will miss them, we look forward to celebrating their graduation on May 21.

As we look forward to next fall, I am happy to report that we have all staff returning, for which I praise the Lord! We are already ordering curriculum for next year; therefore, I would like to encourage early reenrollment of your students if possible so that we can fully anticipate our needs.

Thank you for your continued support of CCA.

We appreciate your prayers in these areas so very much! We know that James 5:16c says, when a be-lieving person prays, great things happen. Thank you for praying for us each and everyday and each time you pass by Cornerstone.

WOW! It’s hard to believe we are in our last quarter for this school year. In Bible, we have memorized all 26 ABC verses, as well as Matthew 6:9-13, Psalm 100, Psalm 23, and John 3:16-17. We just finished the Bible lesson about Jesus’ triumphant entry, last supper, trial, crucifixion, resurrection, and ascension. This past week we studied Moses’ birth, the burning bush calling, the ten plagues against Pharaoh and Egypt to let God’s people go, and the 10 Commandments.

The Kindergarteners have learned roughly 30 blends and diagraphs. The students are able to circle the blends and mark vowels in words they read. The students are busy reading at school and home. They are becoming good readers, working at reading smoothly and with good expression.

For Math, we have been adding and subtracting up to 10. We count to 100 by 1’s, 2’s, 5’s, and 10’s, and we can tell time to the hour, half hour, and quarter hour.

We have finished our unit on countries of the world. We are just starting a new science unit; we have been studying our five senses and doing activities to see how our senses work. It is amazing how much the students have learned this year!

For Phy Ed, the high school and elementary students enjoyed decorating kites together on Monday, then we enjoyed a beautiful, windy day of flying our kites on Thursday. -by Mrs. Skrede

Hello from the 1st- and 2nd-grade room! We only have 6 more weeks of school left! How exciting is that?! We here in Mrs. Berg’s room are full of excitement as we look to reviewing what we have

learned throughout the year. We just finished learning about Peter and Saul. We are reading a book about Adoniram Judson (God’s Man in Burma) the missionary. We have also finished learning about Native Americans and have started learning about the Pilgrims. We have learned about plants in Science and are growing our own, and we are also working on an experiment with celery. The new chapter we start tomorrow is about faces. In Math, 1st grade is learning about adding doubles, reviewing fact families, and weighing items; 2nd grade is learning grams, liters, kilograms, centimeters, meters, and how to measure and add sides and lengths. In English 1st grade has one book left, and they will be

finished for the year. Yay!! -by Mrs. Berg

FROM THE CLASSROOM

I can hardly believe how quickly this year seems to have gone! It has been a blessing to get to work with such wonderful students and to watch them grow and mature.

We have been looking into many different topics in Bible. All of these are centered around the idea that anything is possible with God, including forgiveness

of sin. Currently, we are going through the forgiveness of sin in the Old Testament and after Jesus came. We will also spend time looking into walking close to God, leaning on Him, and the peace He can give us. As we get ever closer to the end of the year, we are doing more projects to use the knowledge that we have

learned this year. Students will be using what they learned in Math to end the year with making a full-scale model of the school, including furniture and wall color.

Students are reading and writing poetry. We read the book Out of the Dust while talking about the Great Depression. This really made what we were talking about in Heritage Studies come alive for them! Next, we will finish the year with Number the Stars as we finish Heritage Studies with WWII.

Students have been doing Science Fair projects this past month. They are enjoying doing experiments on their own!

We have also been doing Science Fair projects with the third and fourth graders. The students worked together to make a raised garden next to the school. The plan is to add plants throughout this next month.

What a wonderful way to end such a blessed school year! -by Miss Primmer

This is the final newsletter of the year! It’s hard to believe that we have made it through the entire year with relatively few hiccups. But God has been good, and here we are. As we wind down the final month of the school year, we look forward to what is coming: summer and warm weather and spending lots of time outdoors; and letting what has been learned from the books take second place to what will be learned in nature; and spending time with family and friends. I have enjoyed the smaller class size this year. I have had the opportunity to structure the classes to fit the students. I hope that, as they move forward, I have had a small part in bringing the love of learning to them. We will be spending this month tying up loose ends and finishing up projects. We have a puzzle on the back table that will be the final puzzle for this year. We have plants that will need to find new homes. We have books that we are reading out loud to finish up. We need to finish up a chapter or two in Math and English. A science project or two is still in the works. All in all, I would say it has been a good year. Thank you for your prayers and encouragement this year. God is good. -by Mrs. Bergum

Financial Update God has continued to bless us greatly this month with our finances!

Giving this month included tuition payments, general donations, and memorials. Thanks to your financial support, we were able to pay bills, payroll, and other expenses without hesitation, which is a blessing. Next month we will be holding a fundraiser at CCA on Friday, May 7, at 7 p.m. Just by you and your friends/family attending this free financial seminar, Life Group will contribute $50 per couple to CCA. So come and bring friends! It is a great way to get more information and knowledge about finances and support CCA at the same time. If you want to register to attend, contact [email protected]. -by Miss Busche

Musical Ministry Team had the honor of ministering at Bad Axe Church. This church has always been a staunch supporter of Cornerstone, so we pray that we were a blessing to them! On Sunday, May 2, MMT will be ministering at New Life Community Church at 10:00 a.m. We will lead the congregation in some songs and perform our skit “The Bible—Just Another Good Book?” Also, on Sunday, May 30, MMT will be ministering at the Viroqua Church of Christ at 10:15 a.m. We pray that not only we will be a blessing to these two churches, but also to our whole community. The elementary students are busily working on Kings, Dreams, and Schemes: The Adventures of Daniel for this year’s Spring Program. The students love it when you attend their activities, so please come on Tuesday, May 18, at 7 p.m. at Lighthouse Baptist Church! You won’t want to miss this fun, informative program about the life of Daniel! -by Mrs. Walker

Deacan Charles Carpenter is a senior at Cornerstone this year and has attended this school since Pre-K. He enjoys making random things and being outside, and his favorite place to be is at the river. He likes springtime because of the nice outdoor

weather and because his birthday is in the spring. He has three pets at home: two dogs named Bruiser and Toodles and a cat named Leo. His favorite subject at school is English, and his favorite book to read is the Bible. His favorite verse in the Bible is Philippians 4:13, “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me”. If he could go anywhere, Deacan said he would just stay here, because all of his friends and family are here. His favorite quote is: life is like a roll of toilet paper: the more you get into it, the faster it goes. If he could meet anyone, he would love to meet Desmond Doss, the hero of Hacksaw Ridge. His favorite song is “Dear Younger Me” by Mercy Me. If there was one thing Deacan would want people to know about him, it’s that he is helpful, kind, and fun to be with. -by Amelia

Senior Senior

Hallia Baird turned eighteen on February 15. She came to CCA in 2018 after p r e v i o u s l y homeschooling and is now a

senior. Her favorite classes are Bible and Apologetics because they are informative and she enjoys learning about God. Her favorite verse is Esther 4:14, “For if you keep silent at this time, relief and deliverance will rise for the Jews from another place, but you and your father’s house will perish. And who knows whether you have not come to the kingdom for such a time as this?” Her favorite book is A Wrinkle in Time, and her favorite movie is “Hacksaw Ridge”. She enjoys listening to a good song regardless of its genre. She loves springtime and rainy weather. Hallia likes darker or more natural shades of green. Her ideal getaway would be a solo vacation deep into the woods. However, then she might have to go without her favorite food, taco salad, as well as her favorite drink, milk (from a Jersey, of course). In fact, her family has their own cow, a dear little Jersey named Cambi. As her nephew (Elisha Kauffman, age 2) puts it so simply yet perfectly, “You have it all if you have milk.” And God, of course. Besides milking her cow, Hallia enjoys debates and raising succulents. Hallia says that her friends and teachers are what she’ll miss the most about Cornerstone. -by Trula
