Week of March 25 to 28

What We Learned this Week:

Bible: We have started our unit on the divided kingdom of Israel and Judah. We learned about King Jeroboam who became the first king of the northern kingdom of Israel. This king sinned greatly by establishing golden calves in the strategic cities of Bethel and Dan.

Math: The students have been studying the metric system and have been learning how to convert between units of measurement within the system (length, liquid volume, and mass / weight).

Reading: This week, we talked about the significance of titles of books, names of characters and places, and color. 

Grammar: We started off the week by reviewing the Spanish present perfect tense. This tense is used to talk about past actions or events that are somehow connected to the present. We also reviewed the following Spanish digraphs this week: ch, rr, and ll.

Social Studies: In Social Studies, we have been reading about groups of people who have immigrated to Michigan, where they settled, and their reasons for immigrating. We then talked about the different push and pull factors. We ended the week by reading a few books detailing immigrants' journey to the United States. We also talked about Ellis Island and how it served as an immigration inspection and processing station. *Please have your student finish and turn in the Social Studies home letter I sent home a few days ago. That sheet asks your student to have a conversation with the family to talk about when your family first came to the United States. We will use this information in a future social studies class.*

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.
