First Monday

Our first Monday of school for 2017!  And a windy one! Reminder that because of the MLK holiday we will not be having school next Monday, the 16th.

For Writer's workshop our older students will be working on a compare and contrast paper. They went to this website to get some ideas on what they want to write their papers on. http://place4papers.com/compare-and-contrast-essay-topics

This week we will have full spelling, SpellingCity and Bible verse assignments.

1^st & 2^nd graders:

“Those who go to God Most High for safety will be protected by God All-Powerful.” Psalm 91:1

5^th – 7^th graders:

“Jesus said to the people who believed in him, ‘You are truly my disciples if you remain faithful to my teachings. And you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.’” John 8:31-32

Older students also received their new reading books and packets. These will be due on February 9.

Our quote for today is from William Jennings Bryan, “Destiny is not a matter of chance; it is a matter of choice. It is not a thing to be waited for, it is a thing to be achieved.”
