⛄January

In Mrs. Erica’s 7th grade Bible for the month of January, they are starting to learn about the third year of Jesus' ministry. They have previously learned about the first two years of his ministry and his life prior. The students are learning that the opposition from the Jewish leadership intensified in the third year of his ministry because of his claim to be the Son of God and his claim to forgive sinners. They also reviewed their Bible Drill verses from last semester with a crossword puzzle. The 7th grade competition for that is coming up in March. Next week, they will study why Jesus called himself the Bread of Life following the miracle of feeding the five thousand in John 6.

Since returning from winter break, the 7th grade history class has picked back up learning about European exploration and colonization in the 1500s. They have learned about the settlements of the Portuguese, Spanish, French, and English and what has made each one distinct. The 7th grade had a fun discussion where they compared the English colonies to those of the French in North America when they discovered the importance of religion and the emphasis placed on God in the English colonies. They even got to see some of the American values develop and what made our fight for freedom so successful.

December🌲

Upon returning from Thanksgiving break Mr. Scheeser's seventh grade History class has been having some incredible discussions as they have learned about European explorers and their motivations for setting sail. They asked the question: "Could you set sail for months on end, with no land in sight, not knowing where you were going?" They also looked at the Native American groups that were in the American group that were in the Americans before the Europeans arrived and focused on their differences, and whether or not we should call them "Native Americans" or "Indians" and how this debate started.

November🫓

By Reese Fender

On October 27-31, Mrs Erica’s seventh-grade Bible class learned about the Protestant Reformation. During this lesson, they learned about the key figures, the five solas, and the Gutenberg Press. Ending the week with a fun day of making their own printing press, nailing the 95 Theses to the door, and eating a diet of worms, which were gummy worms, and Luther's hammers, which were pretzels and marshmallows.

Last week, they began the week learning about 2 Kings and 2 Chronicles in their Route 66 Bible book. They also reviewed the 10 identifying verses for Bible drill. The class was given part of the verse, and they had to know the reference and turn to it in the Bible. On Wednesday, November 5th, they took a quiz over the 10 identifying verses. This week, the seventh grade will take a Unit Five test covering lessons 18-24 in their Route 66 books on Friday.

Last week in Mr. Scheeser's seventh-grade World History class, they finished talking about the Renaissance and the Reformation, which is chapter six. After finishing the chapter and taking the test, the class compared and contrasted art and the differences that occurred during the Renaissance. This week seventh grade will begin learning about European Exploration.

Titanic Drawings

By: Ady Velazquez

The Titanic was a sad time in our history; a lot of people didn’t make it off the ship, but some people jumped into the cold water. The Titanic was built beginning March 31, 1909. Construction began with the laying of the keel. On May 31, 1911, the completed hull of the ship was launched. The next year, on April 2, 1912, construction was completed, and the ship was finished. Finally, on April 10, 1912, the set sail on its maiden voyage.

The captain was Edward Smith of the Titanic. There was also a man named John Harper who saved other people and gave up his life so the babies and mothers could be saved. He put his daughter and niece on a lifeboat to survive, then when the ship began to sink, he jumped into the water. He was the biggest hero of the Titanic.

The number of people who survived and how many died. Approximately 706 people survived the sinking of the RMS Titanic out of the over 2,200 passengers and crew on board. The percentage of First Class passengers who survived was 61% . The percentage of Standard Class passengers who survived was 42% . Sadly, the percentage of Third Class passengers who survived was 21%. More than 1,500 people died when the Titanic sank, with exact figures varying slightly between different investigations and historical records but generally falling between 1,490 and 1,517 deaths.

The Titanic was called "the unsinkable ship". Even though the ship struck the iceberg on April 14, 1912, the day it really sank was on the 15th because it was 2:20 am. Within about five minutes, the Titanic rose into the air, snapped in half, and sank under the water. The water in the North Atlantic Ocean when the Titanic sank on April 15, 1912, was approximately 28°F (-2°C), which is below the freezing point of fresh water but remained liquid due to the ocean's salt content. This extreme cold led to rapid hypothermia and death for most of the 1,500 people who went into the water, with survival times often limited to minutes.
