Week of September 6 to 9

 What We Learned This Week

This week, we started our Bible lessons. We are studying the epistle of Philippians and talking about Paul's relationship to the Philippians and the Church in Philippi. Paul certainly loved the people there despite the hardships and trials he faced. What kinds of lessons can we learn from Paul? I encourage you to sit down with the students and maybe focus on the book of Philippians as part of your daily devotions. There is so much to uncover there. In science, we investigated the internal structures of plants by conducting the celery and food coloring experiment. I received word that the students did a good job with their posters and showed wonderful excitement towards this experiment. In math, the students showed me that they are wonderful at comparing and reading large numbers! 


Thank You

Thank you, parents and students, for your patience and understanding during these past couple of days. I hope to be back to school on Monday. I heard good reports from the substitute teachers. That is something to be praised. Nice job, chicos!

What We Learned this Week: Bible:  This week, we studied David's desire to build a temple for God. We talked about how God sometimes says "no" as an answer to our desires. Just like David, we cannot allow that to make us feel bitter. God's will and plan is always good and perfect.  Math:  The students finished up their Unit 3 tests this week. We have started Unit 4 which is all about algebra. We started off by simplifying like expressions. I am including some practice exercises. If your student wishes to practice simplifying like expressions, s/he can complete this page and turn it in. I will provide feedback. Writing:  We are now officially finished with the Persuasive Essays. We look forward to next week when we move on to the Personal Expertise Essay. Social Studies:  The students finished their Geography of the United States Google Slides Project this week. We will be studying movements of people within the United States next week.  February 12 to 23 S...

What We Learned this Week Bible : We are kicking off our Bible class by understanding how Scripture interprets Scripture. We are studying the book of Philippians to do so. We investigated the events that took place during Paul's second missionary journey along with the people he met. Ultimately, we learned that Paul's primary focus was to know Christ even more- which should be our motive as well.  This unit is very short, so the students will be taking a quiz over the material we have learned thus far late next week. However, it is quite possible that the quiz will be pushed to early the following week. The students will be given a hard copy of the study guide, and I am including a digital copy of the study guide here as well. I also like to include links to a gamified version of the study guide. The platform is called "Blooket," and the students should be familiar with it. Here are the game links if your student wishes to play the games: Tower Defense 2 Monster Braw...

We have read up on how Ruth and Naomi traveled back to Bethlehem and how Ruth met Boaz.  The students will be taking the Judges and Ruth Test early in the week of September 30 to October 4. I will be providing the students a physical copy of the Spanish study guide on Monday. I am providing an electronic version of the Spanish study guide here . I am also including an English study guide for parent use only. Feel free to use this resource to support your student.  Additionally, I have made a Blooket using the test questions. I am including the game links here as another study resource for your student.
