This week, we will finish Chapter 3 by studying the Great Awakening and its influence on colonial America. Students will learn about important preachers such as Jonathan Edwards and George Whitefield and examine how this religious revival affected colonial society.

We will also spend time reviewing the major topics from Chapter 3, including the New England, Middle, and Southern Colonies, in preparation for our upcoming test.

Bible ~ Mr. Fiorenza

This week in Bible, we will continue studying the story of Naomi and Ruth, focusing on God's providence and faithfulness. Students will learn how God works through ordinary circumstances and people to accomplish His purposes. We will also discuss God's self-sufficiency and how His care for Ruth and Naomi reminds us that we can trust Him even when we cannot see the whole picture.

Memory Verse: "And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose."

Romans 8:28 (ESV)
