MFW CTG Week 6

What We Learned:

Bible

• Memory Verse: We reviewed 2 Timothy 3:16-17 & the Books of the Old Testament.  We also began learning The 10 Commandments
• Bible Reading: We read Genesis 11:27 - Genesis 16
• Journey Through the Bible - "Abraham's Journey" & "Abraham & Lot"
  
• Biblical Worldview - We discussed ways to know if something is true; Our senses, thinking, and what we read help us decipher if something is true or not. But we explored this farther to determine that these things are not always true. Our senses can fool us, teachers can mistakes, but God is the source of absolute truth.  
  
  
  Wow.  Our sense can really mislead us.  It took us awhile to see all 16.

Spanish

• Duolingo is a fun, free, & fantastic learning tool.
• Much of the learning happens in the form of quizzes, which switch between testing speaking, listening, and writing. 
• The grammar and sentence constructions become progressively difficult as you go along. It keeps reviewing previously learned words,allowing you to progress from basic words all the way through various verb tenses and abstract ideas. 
• We love that we can compare progress with our friends.
