This school year has started off very well! We have been getting back into the swing of things and shaking off the summer little by little. Now that we are mid September, everyone has left behind the back to school mentality and they are ready to tackle this school year!
In my math classes, we have been reviewing some of the end of the year lessons from last year. Most of the time it will click right away and they remember the lesson from last year. We are starting now to get into chapter 2, which will begin to expand on the chapter 1 ideas and move into brand new ideas all together. I am very excited for my math classes this year, as I have 2 very excited classes who are eager to conquer math this year.
My Bible class will again be going through the book of Acts. Acts is a very interesting book and what is exciting, for me as a teacher, is that most of the kids have not done a study on this book before 8th grade. It really allows me to introduce them to things that they may know but have never studied before. Early church history and the beginnings of the Christian faith is something we all need to know and learn. Understanding what our early church founders went through after Jesus ascended is such a crucial aspect of our faith and I am so blessed to be able to embark on that spiritual journey with them!
This year is shaping up to be yet another amazing one and I am cannot wait to watch it unfold!
