Busy, busy, busy!

The first quarter is almost over!  The students have been working really hard, learning a ton, and maintaining wonderful attitudes along the way.  I so enjoy these kids.

Here is what we have been up to...

7th English: We're in the middle of reading The Hobbit by JRR Tolkein.  The students seem very excited about their upcoming Hobbit Projects.  Vocabulary and grammar lessons are also in effect. 

8th English: Along with writing, grammar, and vocab, we're about to start The Hiding Place, an incredible novel by Corrie Ten Boom.  We will also be reviewing other works of literature from The Holocaust.  Additionally, this material will coincide with their upcoming trip to DC where they will experience The Holocaust Museum.

7th Bible: We're in Unit 3, learning about the books of wisdom in God's Word.  The students were captivated as we discovered more about God's character and how we can trust our all-knowing Father through the Book of Job.  In addition to Job, we will be learning about Proverbs and Ecclesiastes during this unit.

8th Bible: Moving on to Unit 3, we will be discussing spiritual disciplines such as worship, prayer, service, reading the Word, fellowship, evangelism, giving, silence, and meditation.  I will be in prayer that this will be a special time of growth in our walks with Jesus as we learn more about how we are called into action by our Maker.
