With this unit, we come to the end of our Day School Bible lessons. During the year, we have traveled through the Old and New Testaments, and we have learned of Bible heroes, adventures, miracles, and ministries. Most of all, we have learned about God’s great love for us, sent in His only Son, Jesus. Because of this amazing gift from God, we have salvation.

After Jesus’ death, and before He ascended into heaven, He appeared many times so people would believe He had risen. Before He ascended, He also gave His disciples a mission. He told them to go throughout the world, telling others about Him. In this final group of Bible stories, we will see examples of how early Christians spread the Good News of Jesus with others.

The mission Jesus gave to His followers is the same mission He gives to us. Someone near you needs to know the Good News of salvation in Jesus Christ. With God’s help, you can find that person. Just as you have brought your child to this school, you can bring that person to hear about Jesus.

We are almost done learning about the agri-hobo Johnny Appleseed. In our next unit we will be reading several stories about the westward expansion. This will also be our history focus for our next unit.

The students are nearly done making slides for their natural disaster reports. Our next step will be to make a weather video in front of a green screen. These fun videos will be available for you to view once they are done.

We continue to add new concepts in our math lessons. We have been working on the 2's multiplication facts and continue to review 10's and 100's facts. 

We learned about drawing pictures and writing equations for multiplication (equal groups) story problems.

We also learned about intersecting line and perpendicular lines.

We are learning about how the pioneers traveled west. We talked about the Oregon Trail and played a round of the old Oregon Trail game together! Unfortunately we didn't make it to Oregon.

We have been learning about the parts of an eye and also our sense of touch. We looked at our hand with a handlens so we could see what it looks like up close.
