We will start Chapter 8 "Jesus Had Many Followers". We will learn about how Jesus traveled all over to get followers and that he taught them how to pray. We will also learn what are praying for when we pray the Lord's Prayer.

Week of December 7th, 2020

 Please Note

- There will be a spelling and reading test on Friday.

- Report cards will be given out next week.

- Please be sure that your child is reviewing sight words and is reading, especially during the days off and over break. They can lose these important skills just as fast as they learn them! This should be their "homework" along with math facts every night. Kids A-Z and IXL are both great for practice at home. Please use them!

- I am sending home a packet of "Sight Word Phrases" with each child to practice at home. This will help with sight word recognition and fluency! Work on one page at a time. Once your child can read the phrase without pausing or having to sound out words, check it off! Once they can read all the phrases on the first page with pausing/sounding out, move on to the next page.

- We will be starting homework when we return from Christmas Break.

- We will be having Virtual School on Monday, January 4th and Tuesday, January 5th when we return from Christmas break.

Have a great week!
