Thursday, September 13

Today we did some Bible and some Geography. (We also did some Living Through History with 7a and 7c) In Bible, we worked on a map and location/question sheet from pages 205-212 which is in the last unit in the book. I feel it is important to get a basic understanding of the geography of Palestine. We will complete the map part tomorrow in class. In Geography we read pages 30-33 and answered some journal questions on the Moodle site.
Paper drive tomorrow.

Wednesday, Sept. 12

Well, today the kids took their first quest on Moodle for me. It was in Geography and covered Chapter 1. Most of them did very well. We did not have any additional assignment. In Bible we worked on "Beginning of the Kingdom of Israel", pages 11-12. We started a worksheet together, and they are expected to finish it for Thursday. In it they have to read Bible passages and compare Saul and David in their relationship toward God.
Pray for Libya today

TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 11

Today all we did was work on Geography. We are planning a Quest for tomorrow, I know this is a bit of a surprise, but we spend a lot of time reviewing, and I feel most are ready to go tomorrow. I will give hem a few minutes to get organized, and jot down some important things on a "smart card" which they can use during the quest. Hope to see you parents tonight at the meeting.

MONDAY SEPT. 10

Today in Bible we reviewed a history of God's people as they traveled from the individual, Jacob, to their entering the promised land. We did not have a written assignment. There still are a few kids who did not turn in last weeks memory passage. The next passage is Psalm 89: 1-2. I would love to have it due next Wednesday, but I will make it due Thursday.
In Geography we reviewed the factors that affect climate, and then I had the kids read pages 22-27, take notes as they read, and then take a quiz. They could use their note sheet, and if they did not finish, they have to complete it for Tuesday.
