Assignments this week
- As suggested by the article in your packets the first week, listen to John at least once a day or read John daily. You can vary your reading of John by reading it aloud to yourself; reading it to someone else; reading it out loud together with a parent or sibling; reading it out loud as a family; taking turns reading it out loud as a family with each person reading a few verses. This is a great way to learn and even memorize all of John 13-15, which is really helpful for those taking the test!
- Continue writing one or two verses of John in a notebook so you will have completed three chapters by the end of the summer! This is also a great way to begin your study each day AND a great way to meditate on the scriptures!
- By the end of this week, you should have ALL the verses memorized!
- Beginner Bees and Primaries are still welcome to bring your crafts and Memory Log Books for Show and Tell. Also, we are including a video of the song the children are learning in their "Beginnger Bee Time" so you can have them practice at home too.
- You are some of the first to know that participants wanting to qualify for Nationals will need to recite 7 memory passages! You can do that by reciting to two adults other than your parents or reciting at the Celebration Day. If any of the participants are ready to recite 7 passages, you can do that at this week's Hive meeting on Saturday, July 23rd and next week's Hive meeting on Saturday, July 30th. The host, parent(s) or participant can choose which 7 passages they would like to recite. Please bring your verse cards. The rule book should be out by this Friday!
- If you haven't already, please be practicing the portion of John 13-15 your family signed up for! Celebration day will be here before you know it!
- We are expecting our t-shirts this weekend!
- Have you been encouraging other families? We were wondering if you could send some encouragement Mr. Ciampi's way! His phone number is (602) 298-2473 for calls, texts or emails. Thank you so much!
- We'd love your help for making the Class Marker Practice Tests from the Greater Phoenix Bible Bee! Email us and we'll send you the info. on how to log in. The test is coming along but we could use some more questions. We'd like to have a really good one for you to practice with in addition to the one that will be provided by BBHQ.
- The Bible Bee Buck store is the GPBB's way of rewarding participants for their hard work. If you would like to donate items to the store, we are now taking donations! Please bring your items to the next two meetings.
Looking forward to seeing everyone soon!
