The Science Fair projects for our 1st -5th grade students is a day of discovery and sharing of knowledge. Each grade has a theme and create projects based on that theme. Students get to learn about the scientific process and presentation skills in a non-competitive manner to prepare them for our Jr. High Science program.
The first graders learned about the wind, wind direction, and how to tell if a storm is coming. MashaAllah, they created their own versions of weather vanes.
Second graders used their engineering skills to make simple machines using recycled materials. Their inventions were quite fascinating!
The third grade class learned about air pollution and the importance of keeping our air quality pure. The compared air quality from their city with that of a city in another country.
Self propelled cars was the order of the day for 4th grade. Very creative engineering ideas.
The 5th graders learned many lessons in physics by creating their own roller coasters. Converting potential energy to kinetic energy never looked so good!

They are pretty special. So, far they've won every game of the season and mashaAllah have come a long way as a team in the past few months. Today, in the first half of the game they were losing! Their spirits were low as they were playing a very strong team and were feeling defeated.
But then they came together, recited Sura Al Fatiha and made the intention to score two points which would put them in the lead! And that's exactly what they did! We are so very proud of them and are eagerly waiting for the finals!
Yes, we're here at school over the Autumn Break working on learning about our school community. The questions we're asking ourselves: What makes us strong? What are our areas of growth? How do we get feedback from our community to serve our students and families better?
This level of dedication is what sets Peace Terrace Academy apart from others, MashaAllah.
Our junior high students participated in their 2nd service project of the year. Through Compassion Network – an organization committed to serving those in need representing all faiths, economic and ethnic groups – they were assigned to help some of our elderly in the community with some yard work. The students were split into different groups and visited different homes to get the job done. They pulled weeds, picked up dry and dead leaves, cleaned patios and windows and much more. They also presented a small gift to the tenants to show their appreciation and love for our elderly and for sharing some words of wisdom with them.
The accreditation process has been nothing short of amazing for Peace Terrace. Here teachers are reflecting on our accomplishments of the past three years and helping to refine our upcoming goals.
This year the ArabicFest had a special meaning for all of us at Peace Terrace because it coincided with our 'Celebrating Sirah' month. What a great opportunity for our students to learn about Sirah of the Prophet, peace and blessings upon him while they learned about his noble life through plays, nasheed, and stories.
Students and teachers worked for months; writing plays, practicing lines, and selecting the best nasheed to perform. The outcome of their hard work was AMAZING to say the least.
