Benjamin’s 9th grade year is going well. He has a handle on the amount of work he needs to do each week and is getting into a routine. <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>For bible Benjamin is joins our church in our yearly bible reading plan. He also has The Westminster Shorter Catechism<\/span> and read More Than A Carpenter<\/span> for a theology book. We started What If Jesus Had Never Been Born<\/span>. He has a weekly scripture memory for school and usually for youth as well.  <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

In history\/social studies, we have three main spines: The Story of Christianity,<\/span> The 100 Most Important Events in Christian History<\/span>, and From Jerusalem to Irian Jaya<\/span>. He also has timeline and a current events assignment each week.<\/p>\n

I’ve been able to do about half of his read alouds with him this unit. We read Till We Have Faces<\/span>, Twelfth Night<\/span>, The Ramsay Scallop<\/span>, and started Pride and Prejudice<\/span>. He also has daily readings from A Child\u2019s Anthology of Poetry<\/span>.<\/p>\n

Benjamin has started to give in and try a little harder on his writing on the first draft. It is nice not to have to push. He usually has a weekly creative writing assignment and a weekly short timed essay. He does vocabulary with Vocabulary From Classic Roots B<\/span> and Wordly Wise 3000, Book 9<\/span>, analogies with Analogies 1<\/span>, and spelling with Sequential Spelling 6<\/span>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>This year we are doing earth science. We have Discovering Design with Earth Science<\/span> which includes experiments, vocabulary, reviews, and tests. We have figured out the schedule, one week is experiments and the next is a test. Ben is doing pretty well with the notebooking and getting good test grades.<\/p>\n

Math is Math U See Geometry<\/span>. He does well in this subject.<\/p>\n

\n

For dual credit, Benjamin is taking the required first class called \u201cLearning Frameworks\u201d. He realized about a month in that he didn’t sign up for an online only class like he thought he had and so we are having to go to “college” once a week for his in person instruction. He tells me he is doing well and they just have a few weeks left in the semester.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Benjamin is glad volleyball is over and now it is his turn. Nate is assistant coaching and Benjamin has been having three or four basketball practices a week. He made the JV team and games will start mid November. He babysits about once a week and helps out as our tech man at church. He attends most of our church and Connections event and also participated in the Purity Ceremony. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
