Language Arts: We are reading a story called “Mighty Jackie”. The focus is on biographies and narratives as the class decodes looking for the writer’s purpose. 
Students are working on their own AR books this week for Book Club. Please log onto AR and check to see if your student is meeting their personal goal.

We are in the third week of studying Acts.

This week’s Memory verse:

 Ephesians 6:4-5

“Fathers, do no exasperate your children; instead, bring them up in the training and instruction of the Lord. Slaves, obey you earthly masters with respect and fear, and with sincerity of heart, just as you would obey Christ.”
