Christian Ethics

We will be working on researching and the rough drafts of the 3 aspects of the trinity in the weeks to come. No final due date has been set. But these rough drafts should be complete to prevent procrastination.

*See the post below or the 'got questions about faith' for a useful website (to the left).

Got questions about your statement of faith?

Here may be a helpful website. There is LOTS of information on here and lots of scriptural references. Hope it helps and is not too overwhleming.

The answers to questions in the kids section will be easier to understand.

Have fun!

*Remember to follow your rubric!

New Testament Challenge

The students and I all want to read our Bible more this year. To encourage this I have challenged the student to read the entire New Testament before Christmas. If we reach our goal we will have a class party. If we don't reach our goal by Christmas we will celebrate once it has been reached.

They are not being marked on this it is more or less just for fun!

Please encourage your son/daughter in their reading.

Maybe you want to consider joining the challenge too.

I handed out a 30-day reading guide that we are following as "check points" (but we are not following the 30 day timeline).

Microscope Quiz Wednesday

There is going to be a microscope quiz on Wednesday. What you will need to be able to do is label the parts of the microscope and be able to match the 'function' of microscope with its proper part.

So labeling and matching.

Hope this makes sense!
