Hello, everyone! Here are the updates for the week from each of my classes.
6th Religion
In sixth grade religion, we are getting into the Old Testament prophets, mostly during the period of the Babylonian Captivity. This week, we will study some classic Bible stories we all remember from childhood, especially Jonah and the story of Daniel and the Lions Den. If we finish early, we might even watch a few classic Veggie Tale clips to go along with our childhood favorites. The memory verse for this week is Lamentations 3:22-23.
