Today in 6A and 6B

ENGLISH: Continuing our grammar week, we built on yesterday's session and the lessons from last unit as we find pronouns to replace subjects and direct objects. It is a tough lesson, especially if a student is struggling with the concept of direct objects to begin with. The easiest way to remember is that the Subject is what the sentence is about and the Direct Object is what receives the action of the sentence. When replacing these terms with pronouns you get the work we did today. I encourage all students to review the www.grammarforwriting.com worksheets in Chapter 7.

RELIGION: Today we looked at the relationship between Jacob and Esau, the two sons of Isaac and grandsons of Abraham. These two very competitive brothers bickered and fought, largely over their inheritance. Jacob tricked his brother into giving over his birthright. Later Jacob was tricked into marrying a different woman. These scenarios allow us to examine our own actions in moments of frustration and offense.

SOCIAL STUDIES: Students wrote their Chapter 2 test today covering the three lessons from this chapter.
