I hope everyone had a happy and healthy Thanksgiving! We back in full swing this week. Here are the updates.

In religion this week, we will learn about the Israelite entry into the Promised Land. We will learn about the miraculous crossing of the Jordan River and then the Battle of Jericho. The memory verse this week is Isaiah 55:8. The quiz is on Friday.
6th Social Studies
On Monday, the students will present their first research projects to the class. The students worked diligently on their slides and put together some very well-researched projects. I am looking forward to their presentations! Then, we will begin Topic 4: Ancient India. We will start off learning about the civilizations of the Indus River Valley, and then we will move forward in history a bit to learn about India’s Vedic Age.

This week we will continue to study the work of the Holy Spirit. We will learn about staying strong in our faith, what the term Church really means, and why we have so many different denominations in Christianity. The memory verse this week is Acts 4:12. The quiz is on Wednesday.
