Magic House is presenting to the 4th graders with hands-on activities about electricity.
We need 10 parents to help from 8:00-10:00 am on Monday, February 26th.  Please email us if you are able to help that morning.
We have five parents signed up to help as of now.
Thank you!

Graded papers were sent home on Friday. Please take a few moments to look over your child's graded papers to see how they are doing on their school work and read any important notes from school.

Character Formation Lesson: Jesus Heals the Blind Man
Diligence: God's power for you to focus on your work.
Read Mark 10:46-52
Focus Question: What do you need to let go of to follow Jesus with determination? 

Memory Work (ESV): 
Hebrews 12:1
"Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight, and sin which clings so closely, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us"

Mark 10:45 
"45 For even the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.”

Math: Review and a Test on Tuesday along with Lessons 61-63.

Please print a math sheet here: Daily Math Homework Sheet

Spelling: Five spelling words were given on Tuesday, on the back of the grammar calendar. There will a test on Tuesday.  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.
Monday's Test is Week 7 
Spellings Words starting 2/27 are Week 8

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 this week.

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

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

Awesome job during Jump Rope for Heart week.  Kindergarten - 4th Grade raised a new record of $14,777 -- that's 294 lives saved!!  Give your kids a great big hug for all their hard work!

Operetta Practice: Mrs. Killian sent home parts for the operetta. Please help your child prepare for their part in the operetta.
