Read Mark 6:14-29
Focus Question: How can you trust God's justice when you have been treated unfairly?
Memory Work (ESV): Galatians 1:10
10 For am I now seeking the approval of man, or of God? Or am I trying to please man? If I were still trying to please man, I would not be a servant[a] of Christ.
Luke 1:37
37 For nothing will be impossible with God.”


Math: Students will have a test this week.  Please help them use their review to study for the test. 
Lessons - Investigation 5 and 51.Link to online math textbook: 4th Grade Math Textbook
Don't have a math homework sheet?  Please print a math sheet here: Daily Math Homework Sheet

Spelling: Five spelling words were given on Tuesday along with the weekly grammar assignment.  There will a test on Monday.  On their test, students will be required to correctly write a meaningful sentence using each spelling word; spelling and grammar will be checked for each sentence.  They can practice and prepare sentences before Monday.  We are glad to proofread and discuss sentences with students if they have them prepared by Friday of each week.

Reading: Students are working in their reading notebook to document their reading time. We are working on building reading stamina.  Students will be using reading logs to record the time and number of pages they are reading during one sitting.  Students are expected to record a reading time each day at school and five per week at home.  We expect them to read for at least 20 minutes (or longer) each time they log. By Monday of each week a parent needs to initial their student's reading log. Students should log at least 10 readings per week.

Science: We are starting a new unit on Energy.  We will be looking at circuits, electricity, magnets, and more!

Six Flags Reading Logs are sent home.  They are due Friday, February 23rd.
