Spelling List

Spelling List #22: old, find, taking, fault, saw, plastic, now, shouted, joining, starvation, word, four The kind old man told me some tales. The little lost kitten was both blind and cold. The child romped and played in the straw. Its sharp claws got me as it jumped on my lap.

Poetry Project Next week we will begin a unit about poetry in English. For this project, your child needs to be looking for his or her favorite poem. This favorite poem needs to be turned in to me by Wednesday, April 24. By the way, did you know that April is National Poetry Month? You might want to take this opportunity to share your favorite poem with your child!

Spelling & Memory Verse

We will have a spelling test and a memory verse test on Friday of next week. The new spelling list and memory verse are both being sent home today in your child’s folder.

Memory Verse

“He makes me lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside quiet Psalm 23:2

waters.”
