Yay, Chiefs! :)

YAY, CHIEFS!  I hope you had a fabulous weekend!  Here is our Friday newsletter (a bit late!)

*Our SNOW MAKE-UP DAY  is TODAY January 20th (MLK Day).

*Report cards are coming home today. 

*Lutheran Schools Week is coming up!  (January 26-31)  Details about each day are listed in the Dates To Remember below.  Thank you! 

Here is what we have been up to this week:

Religion- This week, we have studied the prophet Elijah and how God showed His almighty power!

Memory for next week-

1/21- Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us.

1/24- And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.

For Thine is the kingdom, the power, and the glory forever and ever.  Amen. 

Language Arts/Social Studies- This week, we learned all about Martin Luther King Jr.  We studied his life, his ministry, the difference he made, and how God helped him along the way.  We listened to his “I Have a Dream” speech, and then wrote dreams of our own.  We will continue studying him next week too! 

Spelling Words for Friday, January 24^th (whole class) from the story, “My Brother Martin.”

west, steep, member, gleam, fresh, freedom, speed, steam, beast, believe, speck, kept, cheap, pretend, greed, shelf, least, eager, reason, chief, *segregation

Math- Third graders learned how to multiply double digit numbers by ten and will continue to practice this skill this week too.  Fourth graders are practicing dividing by double digits and will begin LONG, long division this week!  We are ready!  PLEASE continue practicing facts at home!  Thank you!  Getting those memorized will be SO helpful!
