Week of April 22 to 26

What We Learned this Week:

Bible: We have started the Elijah unit. We have kicked off this week by studying how God provided for Elijah while he was on the run from King Ahab. 

Math: The students took the unit 5 test this week. We will be starting the fractions unit next week!

Reading: We have started to read the book "Number the Stars." This is the book we are reading together as a class for the historical fiction unit. The students look forward to starting to read their own historical fiction chapter books with their groups. 

Writing: We are finished with the personal expertise essays. We will start our brand-new unit on literary essays next week.

Grammar: This week, we studied the silent "h" that can sometimes be found in front of a Spanish word. We also reviewed the Spanish past tense participles and how they can be used as an adjective to describe nouns. 

Plant Sale Update: We have about 62 pepper seeds that have germinated. We are excited to see them become strong, little plants. However, we would like a bit more pepper plants. Therefore, we will be planting a few more on Monday.

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.

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...
