Social Studies ~ Mr. Fiorenza

Social Studies — Chapter 2

We have officially completed Chapter 1: America's First People! Next week, we will begin Chapter 2 and continue developing the skills historians use to understand the past.

We are also beginning a new Social Studies binder organization system. Students will be responsible for keeping their guided notes and important class materials organized and in order. We will practice checking our own materials each week before beginning small Friday binder checks. This system is designed to help students take greater ownership of their learning and make studying easier when assessments come around.

Homework: None

Bible ~ Mr. Fiorenza

The Trials of Job

We will continue Unit 2: The Trials of Job. Students will explore what the book of Job teaches us about suffering, God's wisdom, and trusting God even when we do not understand our circumstances. We will discuss how grief and faith can exist together and how Scripture encourages us to bring honest questions to God while continuing to trust His character.

Students will also continue using their DeepRoots Reflection Journals to thoughtfully respond to what we are learning.

Memory Verse: Job 2:9-10 "Then his wife said to him, 'Do you still hold fast to your integrity? Curse God and die.' But he said to her, 'You speak as one of the foolish women would speak. Shall we receive good from God, and shall we not receive evil?' In all this Job did not sin with his lips." (ESV)

Students will recite the verse during Chapel and complete their memory verse quiz on Wednesday, September 16.
