Week of Janurary 19th

Welcome back! I hope you all had a wonderful day off yesterday and are ready for a short week packed with all sorts of learning. 

Famous American reports start TODAY, with children numbered 1 through 4. Because we have Music and Library on Tuesdays, I will hope to begin at 1:30. 
Every other day my goal is to start around 1:00. 
Parents, you are welcome to come see your child's presentation, 
but it is not an expectation.

Here is one final reminder of the schedule.

Students numbered 1 through 4 - Tuesday, January 19th 

Students numbered 5 through 9 - Wednesday, January 20th

Students numbered 10 through 13 - Thursday, January 21st

Students numbered 14 through 17 - Friday, January 22nd 

Please return any library books that were used for this project by Friday. 

Here is a look back at last week. 

If you didn't hear, Delta Dental came to talk to us about how to take proper care of our teeth. What a perfect fit into our study of the human body!

 Overall, your children learned so much about our organs and their main functions!
Be proud of all of their efforts!

 And a little peace and quiet as they watched science videos and played a germ game.

RELIGION

Some people say actions speak louder than words. Jesus' actions speak loudly about who He is. Jesus' first miracle, turning water to wine, revels that He is the Son of God. This week we will explore this Bible Story and learn how God shows His love for us by showing us that Jesus is true God. We will also read about Jesus and His knowledge of grace as He blesses the children. This teaches us that God shows His love for us by offering salvation to all people.

Memory Work

Let the children come to Me; do not hinder them, for to such belongs the kingdom of God.

Mark 10:14

SPELLING and GRAMMAR

This week in spelling, students will work on spelling words with r-controlled vowels (ar and or spelling patterns). In grammar, we will be working on linking verbs. A linking verb is a verb that does not show an action. We will also review the use of capital letters and proper nouns.

LIST ONE

farm	storm	horse	part	start
park	dark	sort	short	for

LIST TWO

farm	storm	horse	spark	starry
charm	dart	cart	sport	porch

BONUS - Famous American 


SOCIAL STUDIES

As your children teach us about various Famous Americans this week, we will look at several Famous African Americans and study their contributions to our country.  Without stepping on toes of any reports, we will dive into some African American History in lieu of yesterday's holiday and February's Black History Month.
