Memorizing Bible verses is indeed a meaningful way to grow spiritually, and it can have several positive impacts on one’s life and faith journey. Proverbs 3:1-6 is a beautiful passage with valuable wisdom. Here’s the verse for reference:

Proverbs 3:1-6 (NIV):
“My son, do not forget my teaching, but keep my commands in your heart, for they will prolong your life many years and bring you peace and prosperity. Let love and faithfulness never leave you; bind them around your neck, write them on the tablet of your heart. Then you will win favor and a good name in the sight of God and man. Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.”

It’s a wonderful idea to practice this verse at home with your child. Here are some ways to do so:

1. Read the verse together regularly.
2. Discuss the meaning and significance of the verse.
3. Encourage your child to reflect on how it can be applied to their life.
4. Share personal experiences related to the verse.

We will do minimum practice at school. Students will need to memorize this at home for homewor.

Due to the late posting, I will not test the students on this verse in October but engage in activities around it. Going forward I will be testing the students on the monthly verse at the end of each month. Regular assessment, starting from the end of each month, is an effective way to track progress and ensure that the verse is not only memorized but also understood and lived out in their lives.

This practice can be a valuable part of a child’s spiritual development, helping them build a strong foundation of faith and wisdom. It’s a great initiative, and I hope it brings growth and spiritual enrichment to our class.

In Science we are studying biomes. The students are learning about the biomes found in Canada and will be working on research projects about animals from that biome and what adaptations were needed to survive in that particular climate.

In Socials Studies we have finished up a unit on culture and values. We are starting a unit on the map of Canada. It will be a short unit on the provinces and capitals. From there we will do a longer unit on the study of Canadian explorers.
