Happy Holidays!
It's a time of wonder and joy as we thank God for His countless blessings and celebrate the birth of our Savior Jesus Christ. With each new day we are learning more about our Lord's awesome power and infinite love for us.
Bible 6 - Each day we are reading through the book of Genesis together and encountering passages that proclaim the wondrous acts of God extending from the creation of our entire universe to all living things. Our classroom, too, seems to have come to life with student work displaying the creation of birds above us, insects and animals crawling along flowers and vines, and sea creatures swimming through ocean depths.
Bible 7 - Together we are taking an in-depth look at the life of Christ, studying his character and commands so that daily we may become more like Him. Everything we are learning directs us to go deeper in our love for God Himself and for the people He has placed all around us. Character qualities such as humility, compassion, zeal, and holiness are pondered through memory verses and practiced through classroom skits and day-to-day real-life experiences.
Math 6 & Math 7 - Our Creator God is also a God of complexity and order, and in our math classes we are engaging complex (two-step) algebraic equations as well as using order of operations in our daily math challenges. Math games continue to be a favorite method of practicing new skills, and we are looking forward to all that is yet to be learned as the new year approaches.
