Hello, everyone! Welcome back to a new week. We had a fantastic time at camp on Friday, and hopefully we are all rested and ready to take on this week.
6th Religion
The students will have their test on Unit 1, Creation- Job, on Thursday, October 20th. They will begin reviewing in class on Monday. There is no memory verse this week.
6th Social Studies
This week we will be finishing up Topic 2: Mesopotamia. We will learn about the achievements of the Phoenicians, and then learn about the history of Israel and the Jewish people, which will tie in with religion. The topic 2 test is tentatively on Thursday, October 27th. The students will receive their review later this week.
7th Religion
This week we will be learning about the Minor Prophets of the Old Testament, and then they will learn about the chief parts of the Christian faith through studying the story of 12 year old Jesus in the temple. The memory verse for this week is Romans 4:3. The quiz is on Wednesday.
7th Social Studies
In social studies, the students will be working on group research projects that will explore the truth behind people and events from colonial history. For example, the students might research the true story of Pocahontas, explore the theories of what happened to the colonists at Roanoke, or what life was like for both free and enslaved Africans in Jamestown. The students are very excited to begin this project!
8th Religion
On Thursday, October 20th, the students will take their test on Unit 1: Creation- Passover. There is no memory quiz this week.

This week we will finish studying Reconstruction and how it affected life in the South, and the last 150 years of African American life in the United States. Tentatively, the students will take their test on Topic 9: Reconstruction, next Thursday, October 27th.
