Exploring the Old Testament is a study on the Old Testament designed to give students an overall understanding of the Old Testament. The student will receive a summary of each book while at the same time showing how Christ is spoken of throughout. Students will be required to read the Old Testament in its entirety over the course of the school year. No student will receive a passing grade that has not completed the reading of the OT. A notebook will be kept by each student to be checked throughout the year. The notebook must be orderly, containing all of the handouts and other materials collected over the course of the year. The primary textbook for the class will be the Bible. However, other books and materials may be consulted throughout the study. Students will also receive knowledge of various study materials that will aid in their study of the Old Testament Scriptures. Tests, quizzes, and short papers will be required as deemed necessary for learning. However, the majority of the student’s grade will be obtained from his/her reading and the class notebook. A one to two inch binder is required for the class. Students may begin reading prior to class as long as a daily record is kept detailing which chapters have been read.

This class is worth 1.0 high school credits. 

Typing is a skill for a lifetime. Students will learn and review basic touch typing skills that will allow them to type from memory to find keys quickly. Students will learn and practice the keys of the QWERTY keyboard during the first semester. They will learn numbers and symbols during the second semester while they work toward improving their overall personal speed. Students will learn from both typing instruction with repetition and with multiple typing games, activities, and speed drills. Toward the end of the year, students may learn basic word processing skills using Google Docs if time allows, but their personal typing speed and accuracy will be the priority. Goals are set by age and grade, and students work individually in these areas. Parents will be prompted to request a LCA school gmail account for their students or they can use any gmail account already in use. If this is a problem, a classroom account can be used.
