What's Happening This Week:
Bible- Lesson 6- The Effects of Sin
This week the students will be responsible for Ephesians 6: 11-18
Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.
Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place.
And with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one.
Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the Lord’s people.
Pray also for me, that whenever I speak, words may be given me so that I will fearlessly make known the mystery of the gospel, for which I am an ambassador in chains. Pray that I may declare it fearlessly, as I should.
I know, it's a lot, BUT don't worry! If they've learned all of their verses thus far, they'll be fine! I'll give them a fill in the blank verse. We'll do a practice in class on Wednesday.
READING
The students are enjoying both historical fiction novels, Ghost Cadet and Elijah of Buxton. They tie in perfectly with the Civil War unit they're covering in Social Studies.
Mrs. Brown and Mrs. Speir's Ghost Cadet readers will be covering chapters 2-4. They'll also be having a vocabulary test on chapters 1 and 2 on Thursday.
My homeroom class is getting a late start because their last book was longer. They will begin the historical fiction books on Tuesday. They'll cover chapters one and two this week.
The Elijah of Buxton readers will be covering chapters 3 and 4 this week. They will have a vocabulary test on chapters 1-4 next week.
LANGUAGE
We'll begin Unit 2 on nouns this week. We'll cover pages 27-36 this week.
WRITING
We'll begin a research writing assignment this week. The students will each be researching one of the battles of the Civil War and creating a mini- battle book about it.
Have a super week!
