As we continue to study Paul's 3rd missionary journey, during his stay in Ephesus, 

Paul taught the new believers to be aware of false teachers/prophets.

 

 

Our Memory Verse ties in with Paul's challenge and instruction, to the church in Ephesus, 

about what they needed to do personally to stand against false teachers/prophets.

 

Memory Verse: 

1 Corinthians 16:13-14

Be on your guard; stand firm in faith; be courageous; be strong.

Do everything in love.

 Persecuted Church Project

    The overarching study, in our Bible class, this year, is the beginning and development of the early church, primarily based on the books of Acts.  In our class discussions, we learned that one of the factors, the early church experienced was persecution, for their faith.  The 21st century church is not exempt.  Around the world, Christians are still being persecuted for their belief in Christ.  

To better understand, the persecution of the church, each student, will be writing a research paper and giving an oral presentation in class.  I will be sending home a letter that will provide more details about this important project.

This will be a meaningful unit of study to increase our knowledge and awareness of those who suffer, in the name of Christ.  As the Apostle Paul said, in 1 Corinthians 12:26, 'We are one body. . . if one part suffers, every part suffers with it.'

Thoughtfully,

Ms. Kirk

This week we will study Newton's Three Laws of Motion

*An object will stay in rest unless acted on by an unbalanced force. An object will stay in motion at the same speed and in the same direction unless acted on by an unbalanced force.

*The acceleration of an object by a force is inversely proportional to the mass of the object and directly proportional to the force.

*For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.

Physics September 7-11, 2015

This week we will work through the scientific method - from start to finish!  Students were given toy cars, cardboard, felt, aluminum foil as well as access to supplies available in the lab.  As teams, you decided on a "question" to investigate using these tools.  On Tuesday, you will finish up your projects and write up lab reports.  I saw lots of ramps, calculators, meter tapes and good old- fashioned ingenuity!  Vocabulary words this week are all related to the scientific method:
testable question, hypothesis, variable, independent variable, dependent variable, data, analysis, conclusion, communication
