At BCCS, we believe every child is part of God’s Big Story, a story of creation, brokenness, and redemption through Jesus. We want students to see how their learning helps them live out that story each day. One way we do this is through classroom Storylines that help connect all learning to who God is and who He’s calling them to be.

Third Grade: Rooted, Growing, Loving
Mrs. Konydyk's class kicked off their year with a nature walk, looking closely at the plants and trees around our school. As they explored, they noticed the roots, how they hold the plants up, give them strength, and help them grow. Back in the classroom, students reflected on how being “rooted in Christ” gives us that same kind of strength and stability. This Storyline, Rooted, Growing, Loving, will guide their year. As students learn math, read stories, and explore the world, they’ll also be asking: How is my learning rooted in the Word? How is this helping me grow in Jesus? How can I love others well because of what I’m learning?

5th/6th Grade Science: So Will I
The 5th and 6th graders began science with a worship song and a question: If creation worships God, how will I? Their storyline, So Will I, invites them to think deeply about how their faith informs their learning and living. Whether they’re studying ecosystems, energy, or weather, they’re also being encouraged to consider their response: How will I live out what I believe? Maybe it’s keeping a promise, caring for creation, or standing up for what’s right. In science class this year, lessons will continually connect back to this theme, weaving together academic learning with the essential behaviors that reflect life in God’s story.

Each classroom is a place where students are invited to discover how they fit into the greatest story ever written. We’re so excited for the year ahead and all the ways our students will grow, not just in knowledge, but in faith, character, and wonder.
