6th Grade

October 19-23

Bible

Learning Targets:  Unit 2 is both theological and practical. It builds the philosophical and spiritual case for Bible internalization. Each lesson adds a layer: hagah as method, honey as delight, rootedness as fruit, the formation of Scripture, the formation of the heart, the role of the Holy Spirit, and Jesus as model. 

Friendzy:  Unit 2 is “It’s OK to not be OK.”  It addresses the important topic of grief and loss, and the importance of self-awareness to not only feel our emotions but be able to name them.  The key Bible verses are Matthew 5:4 “Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted” and Psalm 34:18 “The Lord is close to the broken hearted. He rescues those whose spirits are crushed.” We will focus on understanding our emotions and grow in self-awareness grounded in scripture.
