Wednesday, September 29 Lesson

We changed the classroom a little, and it was so much fun to hear the questions and comments about the new seating arrangement when we walked in class. Some of the kids were glad to have desks, and others liked just the chairs in a circle. Some of the kids liked the change, but others didn't. Leah's comment was, "But we need consistency!" I told her we were still in the same room, but we may be even more inconsistent than that at some point :)

We were able to review the homework from our last Wednesday night class as a review, and I could say that I was disappointed that none of the students knew their memory verse or had done their homework, but with the meeting and the memorial services attended by many, and the skipped Wednesday night, I was pleased that with some prompting, most of the kids could fill in the blank for Luke 2:52.

After discussing the limited commission, we moved onto a Jeopardy review game in teams of 2.
Leah and Martin were The Dragons, Emma and Eli were the Braves, and Elizabeth and Brianne were Abigail's Chosen People. We didn't have much time to play, and we'll definitely be playing again in the future to review the cards. The harder questions were worth more points, and it was interesting to see the strategy of the teams in choosing their questions. Each team took turns answering questions, and the Braves had the most points at the end of the game. I was so proud of the teams for working together without complaint at all and being kind to their classmates. I hope the kids can use this week to study the cards and focus on learning the ones they don't know before we add more on Sunday!

I will copy this week's homework below. See you Sunday morning!
