Thanks to Chris, Eli, Jacob, Martin, Leah, Brianne, and Emma for participating so well in class tonight! We started class by going over the rules that Renita and Jonie set in place, and we talked a lot about the word relevance throughout the class. The students were wonderful to not complain about another "test" that was the main part of our lesson tonight. Kay and I thought it would be helpful for us to see what the students already knew, and then at the end of our quarter, to let the students take the exact same test and see how the two compared.
I'm very proud of Eli, Leah, and Emma for remembering the genealogy lesson from last quarter and knowing that Ruth and David were part of the genealogy of Jesus! When we got to the lesson about the genealogy, Eli was ready to explain what it meant, and said, "Mrs. Renita kept talking about this, guys!" It is so exciting to see these kids learning so much!
We went over the cards given on Sunday, and then briefly discussed our homework, which I will post. I hope that the homework will help the students and their families discuss and review the lesson from class. I would really like the "Survey of YOU" sheet to be turned in to us to help us learn a little more about the kids, but the other homework is for the family to use. While we will ask to see the homework from the students, it is not something that will be graded or recorded in any way, and is for the family to use as works best for them. I will be happy to email the homework or the pretest to anyone who would like it, or I will have extra copies on Sunday for anyone who missed class and wants to take it home. Please let me know if you have any ideas, suggestions, or concerns about class. Our only goal is to help these students learn as much as possible, and we want to do that in the best way. Thanks for your help and support!
