Thank you to everyone who made it to Back to School Night. It was a pleasure meeting you and speaking with each of you. Extra help is on Thursday morning this week. As I promised, here are the updates for this week.
6th Social Studies
In sixth grade social studies we have been talking about how early people lived. It is important to note that we have discussed at great length the fact that a lot of what is in their book does not agree with what we are taught in the Bible. I told the children that even if this is not what we believe as Christians, it is still important to know what other people believe since we are not always around people who share the same ideas as us. This week we will learning about how early people adapted to their environments, especially during the ice ages. There are no tests or quizzes this week.
6th Religion
This week the students will not have a memory quiz, but they will be tested on their Bible review notes on Thursday. You may view a copy of the packet here.
