Coming Up in Bible: We will be focusing on Christmastime and working on memorizing this verse:

*Students will be tested on their memory verses on Friday mornings and given a sticker if they are successful. We are including studying the memory verse during the time we study spelling words each day, but working on it at home is very helpful too! Our verse this week is Isaiah 9:6:

In reading, we will continue studying texts that explain Christmas Around the World, do comprehension questions on them, and add them to our "luggage". We will also finish up any testing from this week. We will read from some Christmas Around the World books that Mrs. Johnson supplied our classroom with! In math, both groups will be finishing up lessons in the chapter they are working on and reviewing concepts. They will be taking tests and getting a preview of the next chapter.
