Week of May 22 to 26

What We Learned this Week:

Math: This week, we learned how to compare fractions with unlike denominators. 

Writing: We wrote a class example of a literary essay. Then, the students planned out their own literary essay and started to write their own.

MORE Fun Events this Week:

Our chapel was a roaring success! All the students had a part to play, and my parents provided awesome support. The whole student body seemed engaged with our Bible Friendly Feud game, the message was impactful, and our time of worship was God-glorifying. Thank you to all who came and worshipped with us.

On Wednesday afternoon, the students and I attended field day. We had a fun, sunny afternoon playing games all afternoon. The highlight was definitely being served ice cream by the Holland Police Department.

On Friday, the students walked to the park and enjoyed lunch with the rest of the Spanish immersion classes. They played on the playground equipment, and then they had a time of worship. 

Next Week:

- Please send your student with a bag on Tuesday. The students need to have their lockers cleaned out by that day. They will have to take whatever belongings that are in there home on that day.

- We have finished a read aloud chapter book about Sadako Sasaki- a young Japanese girl who died as a result leukemia caused by the atomic bomb. On Thursday, we will each fold an origami paper crane and then we will say special prayer asking God to protect children all around the world. The students can bring in their own origami paper or they can decorate a white sheet of paper and bring that to school if they wish. I will also have plain white paper available. 

- Our field trip to the Grand Rapids Public Museum is happening on Wednesday, May 31. Please check your email for more information.

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...
