Bible

Memory Verse:

Please encourage your child to work daily in hiding God's Word in their heart. The focus this week is on Jesus. There will be a test each Thursday.

“For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.” Jeremiah 29:11


Math

My class is made up of a variety of different math classes, therefore please check your child's planner to know what homework they might have.


Language Arts

Your child should be reading a book of their choice at least 20 mins each night. They should write down the title of the book they read, the pages they read, and when completed, ask you to sign in their planner that they completed the reading for the night.
Your child will be receiving their Spelling words each Thursday so that they have time to practice over the weekend. Tests will be the following Thursday.

I am adding two geography words each week to our lists. I believe it is important for the children to be responsible with learning the correct spelling of the states and countries of our world.
