Week of March 27 to 31

What We Learned this Week:

Bible: We were introduced to King Solomon. We read about how God blessed him with wisdom and wealth. We studied Proverbs 2, and the students selected parts that spoke to them and created a poster to creatively express what they understood from the verses. 

Math: The students have started to study the metric system. We kicked off the unit of study by taking a look at the metric systems of length, volume, and weight. The students were pleasantly surprised at the simplicity of the system. 

Reading: We have been studying deeper meanings found in repetitive objects in books and their symbolism, titles of the books themselves, names of characters, the significance of events in books, and even specific colors authors use in books. The students deeply impressed me. They really used their creativity to stretch and push their thinking as they thought of the deeper meanings. 

Writing: The students are doing a great job of working hard on their personal expertise books. We will resume our work after spring break.

Even MORE Fun Events this Week:

Even though it was a short week, it was still PACKED with activities. On Tuesday morning, we were blessed by the high school band. We listened to familiar movie theme favorites such as the themes from "Star Wars" and "Indiana Jones." We also were introduced to the different instruments that comprised the band and imagined ourselves swimming through a tank full of fish as the band played a piece that portrayed different types of fish via a specific melody. 

On Wednesday, we visited Ms. Hossink's class and joined them for a black light party. It was fun engaging with the students. Thanks, Ms. Hosskink, for the invitation! 

On Thursday, we transplanted our little pepper plants to their bigger plastic pots. We are hoping that they grow a lot during spring break. Speaking of growing a lot, our vegetables are flourishing. Take a look at the photos. We are so impressed with the plant progress. 

NOTE: The students do NOT need to return the glasses, flower necklaces, or glow sticks. Those are gifts from me to them. 


I pray that God blesses you all with a safe and FUN spring break wherever you may go. May you rest well and enjoy the company of friends and family. Most importantly, may we take time to reflect on Jesus Christ's sacrifice on the cross and marvel at His resurrection. He lives!

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...
