This week, we wrapped our mini Christmas unit by exploring the Virgin Birth as a crucial part of the Christmas story, and it's implications for the identity of Jesus as the Messiah. Then, we talked about some healthy habits going into exam week (for example, good sleep and exercise in addition to short, consistent study sessions with breaks in between). The latter half of the week was spent reviewing for the midterm.
Daily scripture reading and response (in class)- The Book of Esther
Matthew's Christmas Story Summary (on Canvas)- Due Wed. Dec. 10th
Next week, we have one normal school day on Monday, and then Tuesday-Friday will be exams. The exam for Freshmen Bible is comprehensive and students have been given a study guide in class. The study guide is also available in digital form under 'Files' on Canvas. We've spent two full class periods reviewing already, and will likely spend a good portion of Monday reviewing as well. If students review their study guide at home and engage during our in-class review, they should do just fine on the exam.
I hope you and your familly have a restful and enjoyable Advent and Christmas.
"May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit (Romans 15:13)."
Merry Christmas!
