THE LATEST ABOUT MY CLASSES



History 6 – In History, we have finally completed going over all the introductory material and the first section of Chapter 1 (Early Humans) in the textbook! We have just learned about the differences between Paleolithic (“Old Stone”) and Neolithic (“New Stone”) Age humans, and we will be moving into the very first civilizations starting next week!

In 6th Grade Bible, we are in the midst of studying Worldviews, answering the 5 basic questions of a worldview: 1. Questions about God; 2. Questions about the Universe; 3. Questions about People; 4. Questions about Truth; 5. Questions about Right & Wrong. The students have even taken some time to answer these questions for themselves, to start to formulate an awareness of their own worldviews! We will soon be getting into learning about different worldviews, including the biblical Christian worldview, and we will eventually do some comparing & contrasting of worldviews!

In 7th Grade Bible, we are learning about character traits of Christ, and how we can be like Him. We just finished learning about Christ’s meekness and compassion. In the coming weeks, we will be examining Christ’s Holiness, as well as the very important teachings in His Sermon on the Mount.

In 8th Grade Bible, we are studying the Apostle Paul’s writings. At the very beginning of the year, we did an overview of Paul’s conversion and learned about his calling to preach to the Gentile world, and why that was so important for us. We have just finished examining his first letter (chronologically), I Thessalonians. We will begin II Thessalonians next week and will then move on to I and II Corinthians, Galatians, Romans, and Ephesians throughout the year.
