Week of January 15 to 19

What We Learned this Week:

Bible: This week, we finished up the story of Abigail, Nabal, and David. We started the story of Saul and the witch of Endor, and we will finish it on Monday of next week. 

Math: This week, the students reviewed the different methods learned to solve long division. The students also learned how to use rounding and estimation to check the reasonableness of a quotient. The students should continue to practice long division at home.

Reading: The students reflected upon a list of the techniques they have learned in order to better understand the non-fiction books they are reading. They then chose one of those techniques and applied it to the book they are reading. 

Writing: The students started to write their personal micro-stories that will be used to back up one of their reasonings for their persuasive topics. 

Social Studies: We studied the natural landforms found in the United States of America such as the following: peninsulas, islands, lakes, rivers, canyons, mountains, and valleys.

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.

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...
