Learning Standards Focus this week: 

• DIOBR Learning Standards: 

  • DBR-5-KF-R: Identify ways God desires to reveal Himself to us in Scripture and Tradition.  

  • DBR-5-KF-R: Recognize that faith is a gift from God that calls us to respond to His plan for us.  

  • DBR-5-LE-E: Articulate how participating in the prayer of the Church (liturgy) opens us to hear God’s voice.  

  • DBR-5-ME-HP: Recognize that all people are created by God with a capacity to know and respond to His will for our lives.  

• DBR-5-ME-HP: Recognize that faith is a life-long journey where we are strengthened by the grace of the Sacraments to fulfill God’s will for our lives.  

• DBR-5-ME-HP-1: Understand that to love is to will the good of another.  

• Chapter: Opening Chapter

• Chapter Test: None

• Homework: None   

• Prayers: A new prayer will be given about every 2 weeks to be tested orally.  We say the prayer together in class at the beginning of class.  The current prayer is the Mission Statement. I suggest working on a couple of lines at a time at home.  If a student does not perform well, they are allowed to retest with scores averaged for a final grade. 

• Tests: Study Guides will be completed in class and/or at home 2 days before the test with answers reviewed in class for accuracy.  If students would like to study in advance, they can review the highlights and activities completed in the textbook, as well as any additional worksheets.
