Memory Verses

As part of our Bible curriculum, each student is required to memorize selected portions of Scripture. Students will highlight and/or mark the assigned verses in their Bible whenever they are given. They will then use their Bible for memorizing the verses; therefore, it is imperative that they have their Bible with them in class every day. Scripture selections will include single verses, as well as partial passages. During Bible class, we will practice reciting the verse(s) one or two times. However, the majority of memorization will need to occur at home. If a student finishes an assignment in class early, they may work on memorizing the verse independently. 

Classroom Supplies Wish List

I hope everyone is having a wonderful summer! I am getting excited to kick off our school year together!
