This week, the Upper Grammar class focused their studies on the martyrs of the early Christian church. They talked about the faith of these brave men and women, their strength and conviction. In addition they learned about modern day martyrs, prayed for those who are being persecuted and those who are being called to hostile areas to share the gospel. They also learned about Voice of the Martyrs, an organization that aids Christians around the world who are being persecuted for their faith. Finally, they made soap carvings of Christian symbols. The Lower Grammar class focused their studies on the games of the Romans. First, they discussed games for adults, mainly gladiator fights and chariot races. Then, they learned about some of the games Roman children might play--dice, knuckle bones and trigon. Then they took turns fighting each other in mock gladiator battles. The Five in a Row class was busy reading "Storm in the Night." When the lights go out, a young boy listens to tales from his grandfather. Without most of his senses, he must imagine how things look, feel and sound. The kids then did various activities to learn about our five senses, including making froot loop rainbows that are both beautiful and delicious!
