Greetings!

           So far since returning from Christmas break, the students have learned several key doctrines found in the Bible. For example, in week one I taught them about the Doctrine of Theology Proper. This is the study of God the Father and all His attributes such as holiness, sovereignty, and immutability. In week two the students learned about Christ. This study is called, "Christology." Week three students learned about sin and the effects it has on our mind, body, will, emotions, and heart. Finally, the students learned the Doctrine of Regeneration in week four; how God regenerates our entire being at the moment of salvation by His grace through God-given faith.
 
        I know these are difficult concepts for anyone to understand. Whether you have been in the faith a few years or many years these doctrines sometimes are difficult to grasp! I understand this and do my best to teach slowly and be on their level. Overall, the students did a good job listening and understanding.
 
      We have had three quizzes so far along with an open-notes test. I have given al their work back to them. They also have been given weekly board work grades. Grades are up for your viewing. Board work isn't yet due to missing work from several students.
   
      Last, remind your child to read their book. Completion of reading will count for a test grade at the end of the nine weeks. Also, I have assigned a reading report on the book that is also due at the end of the nine weeks. I gave out directions during week one. If you do not have a copy I can give your child another.


In Christ,
