My 2013-2014 Class @ BIS

My 5th & 6th Graders (2 missing)
Funny Quotes:

"I wet my pants." The person meant to say, "I got my pants wet."

"I had an accident.  I peed on my nose." (Don't worry, this kid isn't in 5th and 6th grade.)

After a Science Unit on Heredity, Genetics, Mitosis:

"Miss Duke... this may not be awkward for you, but you aren't us."

They were all about the Punnett Square, even said, "Let's pretend you marry a Brazilian.  Let's see if you will have blue-eyed kids."

Some comments and questions my kids had this week:


This year, we are going through the Old Testament in Bible class.  I get to teach Bible 4 times a week for 35 minutes.  Last week, we finished Genesis.


"Why did God pick to go through Leah's descendants for the Messiah?"

"I think it's weird that Genesis tells us so much about Joseph, and then the Messiah comes through Judah."

"Hmmm... (very pensive) So, Jacob's name is Israel... and his children became the Israelites... I get it."

"So, beginning with Abraham, their job is to bless the other nations?"

I love 'em.
