Social Studies ~ Mr. Fiorenza

American Independence

We will temporarily pause our regular Social Studies curriculum Tuesday through Thursday to allow additional time for our Dead Sea Scrolls mini-unit.

Homework: None!

Bible ~ Mr. Fiorenza

Samson & The Dead Sea Scrolls

On Monday, we will begin Unit 5, studying the life of Samson and how God calls us to use our gifts and abilities for His glory.

Beginning Tuesday, we will temporarily pause our regular Bible curriculum to prepare for our upcoming Dead Sea Scrolls field trip on Monday, November 30.

Throughout the week, students will explore the discovery of the Dead Sea Scrolls, what these ancient manuscripts contain, and why they are significant to our understanding of the Bible and its preservation.

Memory Verse: "24And those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. 25lf we live by the Spirit, let us also keep in step with the Spirit. 26Let us not become conceited, provoking one another, envying one another."

Galatians 5:16-17 16 But I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh. [1]

17 For the desires of the flesh are against the Spirit, and the desires of the Spirit are against the flesh, for these are opposed to each other, to keep you from doing the things you want to do.
