BIBLE
In Bible this week, we discovered that Scripture encouraged us to STUDY!!
Start off with the right attitude.
Psalm 119:15-16 I will study your commandments and reflect on your ways. I will delight in your decrees and not forget your word
Studying Scripture will help you with everyday life and temptations with sin.
Proverbs 4:10-13 Listen, my son: accept my words, and you’ll live a long, long time. I have directed you in the way of wisdom, and I have led you along straight paths. When you walk, your step will not be hindered, and when you run, you will not stumble. Hold on to instruction, do not let it go! Guard wisdom, because she is your life!
Studying helps us serve God better.
2 Timothy 2:15 Be diligent to present yourself approved to God as a workman who does not need to be ashamed, accurately handling the word of truth.
We only had one small thing to learn this week: the conjugation of the irregular verb SUM, which is translated "I am." It is an irregular verb, much as it is in English. Therefore, we simply have to learn the present, imperfect, and future tense conjugations of SUM and commit them to memory.
The chart below shows the conjugation is all six tenses, but you don't need to worry about the 3 perfect tenses just yet. We'll save that for Challenge B! :)
EXAM PREP:
PRACTICE THE FOUR PRINCIPAL PARTS FOR EACH OF THE FOUR CONJUGATIONS
CHOOSE ONE LATIN VERB FROM EACH OF THE FOUR CONJUGATIONS AND PRACTICE CONJUGATING THOSE VERBS IN THE PRESENT, IMPERFECT, AND FUTURE TENSES.
STUDY YOUR LATIN VOCABULARY WORDS.
LOGIC/MATH
We had no new math terms this week, and we didn't even have time to share and discuss the math problems that everyone brought to class. We spent our seminar time discussing and solving practice problems for our final exam. Everyone seems ready, but keep studying this week!
EXAM PREP;
STUDY THE MATH FORMULAS AND LAWS THAT WE HAVE COVERED THIS YEAR
LTW
Today in class we reviewed all the elements of a persuasive essay that we have learned this year. We continued discussing The Bronze Bow and everyone shared a little bit about their favorite novel from this year in preparation for the final exam.
EXAM PREP:
CHOOSE YOUR FAVORITE NOVEL FROM THIS YEAR
PREPARE ONE PAGE OF NOTES WITH DETAILS ABOUT YOUR FAVORITE CHARACTER AND BE READY TO WRITE ONE PARAGRAPH EXPLAINING WHY YOUR CHOSEN NOVEL WAS YOUR FAVORITE
GEOGRAPHY
Today, we reviewed for our geography final by sketching and labeling the world from memory.
DRAW, DRAW, DRAW!!!
STUDY THE FIVE MAJOR CIRCLES OF LATITUDE AND PRACTICE USING THOSE LINES TO PROPERLY PLACE THE COUNTRIES ON YOUR MAP.
DRILL THE COUNTRIES, CAPITALS, AND PROVINCES.
CHECK YOUR DAILY DRAWINGS FOR ACCURACY.
SCIENCE/RESEARCH
Today was our quiz on the ear. I returned those in class, but did not grade them. We practiced drawing previous body systems and drafted example/practice questions based on the 5 Common Topics.
DRAW YOUR CHOSEN BODY SYSTEM DAILY.
PREPARE ONE PAGE OF NOTES THAT CONTAINS YOUR 5 COMMON TOPIC QUESTIONS (DEFINITION, COMPARISON, CIRCUMSTANCE, RELATIONSHIP, TESTIMONY)
BE READY TO STATE HOW AND WHY YOUR CHOSEN SYSTEM DISPLAYS GOD'S HANDIWORK AS CREATOR (instead of evolution)
RHETORIC
We spent our time in rhetoric playing a review game called Hit or Miss. This was our second week playing it, and I wish that I had introduced it earlier in the year. We had such fun with this game!
COMPLETE THE APOLOGETICS PAPER -due next week. It will be read in class.
Suggestions for parents @ home: Drill all catechism questions (remember they must be able to state word for word). Final exam week 15. Review outline & final apologetics paper. Have them practice reading it.
