“Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows.
Whoever sows to please their flesh, from the flesh will reap destruction;
whoever sows to please the Spirit, from the Spirit will reap eternal life.”

We will have a practice test on Thursdays and a retake for the ones that need it on Fridays.

Reading
Story of the week: Let’s Camp Out
We are still working on reading fluently and accurately.
We are also still working on using parts of known words and using known parts, as well as spelling patterns, to help us during reading. This is where I look for transfer knowledge from spelling.

Writing
We are reading from the New Testament. We are learning about Jesus’ life as he began teaching.
We will still focus on how to write in complete sentences. (capital letter at beginning, spaces, noun, verb, makes sense, tells the entire thought, punctuation at the end) We will also work on using details in our stories.

Math
We are still working on comparing numbers. (greater than, less than, equal to)

Religion
PRAYER PROJECT IS DUE Monday, January 24.
We are learning how our Parish works to help many people.

Social Studies
Our Unit over our country will be completed on Friday, January 28. We will have a Social Studies test on Monday, January 31.

100TH DAY OF SCHOOL:
PLEASE SEE THE NOTE IN TODAY’S FOLDER REGARDING A CLASSROOM PROJECT FOR THE 100TH DAY. WE WILL BE USING THE 100 SNACKS TO SORT AND COUNT BY 10’S TO 100, SO THIS WILL COUNT AS PART OF A MATH GRADE. PLEASE MAKE EVERY EFFORT TO PARTICIPATE IN OUR TRAIL MIX PROJECT.
