"Let the favor of the Lord our God be upon us, and establish the work of our hands..." Psalm 90:17

VIRTUE: Compassion

The definition of compassion is a feeling of deep sympathy and sorrow for another who is hurting, in pain, or has misfortune and is accompanied by a strong desire to help the suffering. Jesus Christ is the greatest example of someone with true compassion, healing people from physical suffering. He also showed the greatest compassion for mankind when died on the cross for our sins. It's not always easy to show compassion, especially when we feel like the person deserves their misfortune. Yet compassion is a true mark of Christian character. (Adapted from Biblestudytoolstools.com)

VIRTUE: Initiative

Initiative is seeing what needs to be done and doing it, without waiting to be asked. Initiative is the opposite of procrastination and laziness, but it's also the opposite of avoidance. Sometimes initiative takes more than motivation; sometimes it takes courage. We see initiative accompanied by courage and motivated by compassion in the lives of both William Penn and William Wilberforce, whom we will study in history this month.

MEMORY WORK:

Scripture: We'll spend the year working on our scripture memorization of Psalm 27 (NIV). Our intent with scripture memory is for students to hide God’s word deep in their hearts so that they can call upon it for comfort, reassurance, and strength in times of trouble. With that in mind, we will not be testing over this scripture, but we will be reciting it together as a school every morning during assembly time. 

Geography: We'll test over the islands of the West Indies this week, and then begin working on Central America. A hard copy of the map can be found behind the "memory" tab in your child's binder. Additional maps, as well as MP3s of the song, are available at this link: Geography Resources.

History: Students will memorize a portion of the Declaration of Independence (bolded portion only) and 21 key dates.The key dates have accompanying jingles that do not have to be memorized, but will help students remember the dates and the corresponding events.
