Weekly Update

I hope everyone had a blessed Easter!

Now that we're back into the swing of things, the kids are buckling down and studying hard. In Literature, we are reading the novel Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry. The students are exploring the effects of racism on children as they reflect on and discuss this book.

During English we have been reviewing prepositions and talking specifically about how they can affect our writing, depending on which preposition we choose. Next week, in addition to participating in some fun preposition activities (it's possible), they will take a quiz to help prepare them for the test the following week.

In Religion, the students are learning about the founding fathers of our Church. They are also working on their long-term assessment project of creating a travel guide that would assist visitors to the Roman Empire between the years of 300-500 A.D. This travel guide includes all of the important people and events that we have been studying. It also includes things to watch out for like heresies and invading tribes that threatened both the Church and the Empire.
