My friends may you grow in grace song!
This week has been busy with NWEA assessments and preparing for our chapel. The kids have been working so hard and are excited to present our chapel next Wed. the 18th! The students are amazing and I am amazed at how much they learned so far this year and they keep growing and growing! Our classroom community continues to grow close, just like a family. It has been so great to laugh together, support each other, and pray for each other. Thanks for being an active part of our classroom, and for supporting us in the many ways you do!




Martin Luther King Jr. Day: 

Monday we will have off school to honor Martin Luther King Jr. Next week, we will have some conversations and lessons about the active work he completed in our world. We will look at how MLK Jr. brought kindness to the world around him and cared so much about people, rather than judging them based on what they looked like. We will talk about the call we have to love others.


Homework: 

*Current reading and math pages are due Tuesday, January 17. 

*On Tuesday, a new reading slip and math page will come home, and they will be due Monday, January 23. This will be our last addition time sheet for some of the kids. After next week we will all be on subtraction.

*Keep Practicing Psalm 1 together at home. 

*Our new words of the week are: ready, might, suddenly

We love that you want to be a mechanic when you grow up! You are so special to God and to us, Jack, and we loved getting to know more about you this week! 


WORDS OF THE WEEK:
