Memory Verse: Recite on March 29th

Matthew 8:2-4

And there was a leper who came to him and knelt before him, saying, “Lord, if you choose, you can make me clean.” He stretched out his hand and touched him, saying, “I do choose. Be made clean!” Immediately his leprosy was cleansed. Then Jesus said to him, “See that you say nothing to anyone; but go, show yourself to the priest, and offer the gift that Moses commanded, as a testimony to them.”

Reading for Week of March 21- 25, 2016

Since I was out so much of the week, I have decided to do the same assignments as last week.  In class we will read the chapter "Hard Work Fills the Iron Kettle".  At home the children will read "Amos on the Mountain".  We will discuss this chapter in class on Thursday.  We will make a corn husk doll like the one Amos Fortune made for Celyndia.

We are getting close to the end of the book.  Be thinking about the Book Project you would like to do for Amos Fortune Free Man.  I have a link for the ideas below.  Choose a project you have not done before.

Book Project Ideas

ELA 3/21-3/25

This week we will be working on finishing our friendly letters, addressing our envelopes, and typing up questions to ask the schools. We didn't get quite as far with our letters as I had hoped this past week due to our test taking longer than anticipated.

Enjoy your Spring Break!
