Memory- January 19- Be able to say the entire Lord’s Prayer.

Reading/Social Studies- We read “My Brother Martin,” a short story by Martin Luther King’s sister, Christine.  This taught us about his childhood.  Next week, we will learn more about the late Dr. Martin Luther King, and his peaceful movement of civil rights, by reading several books, including our Reading selection, “Happy Birthday, Dr. King!”

Math-We worked with multi-step word problems today, and will finish that up on Tuesday.  Next week, we will review and test over Chapter 6.
Science-We did not get to our study about onions, and will work with them next week.  Science Fair planning packets came home this week.  Please make sure your child picks a topic and answers questions all the way to the stop sign by Wednesday.  Thanks! 
DEAR-We finished up The BFG, and watched the movie this week!
