Students will NOT have a spelling quiz this week!

Reading - 

This week, we will wrap up the realistic fiction unit. 

Students are continuing to work on endurance during independent reading time. Students will "stop & jot" their thoughts about their books as well as specific prompts from the teacher. 

⭐ "Stop & jots" will be taken for a daily grade this week. 

⭐ We are accepting lightly used chapter books for the classroom library! 

If you have any books that your child has already read just sitting around the house, we will gladly take them!

Bible 

Christmas Unit- The Birth of our Savior

This week there is no Bible verse. The Bible verse posted below is for the week we get back from Christmas break

Memory Verse: "Therefore do not let sin reign in your mortal body so that you obey its evil desires. Do not offer ant part of yourself to sin as an instrument of wickedness, but rather offer yourself to God as those who have been brought from death to life: and offer every part of yourself to him as an instrument of righteousness. (Romans 6:12-13). 

We will study this verse next week and take the Bible Memory Verse Test on Jan. 12th.

Chapel Leaders:

Stanley HR - London

Bielamowicz HR - Cormac

Doiron HR - Olivia

        We will have the same Chapel leaders next week because these children did not do it last week. We had a special chapel.
