Class Work
Memory
Tuesday: Prepare the royal highway; The King of kings is near!
Let ev'ry hill and valley, A level road appear!
Then greet the King of Glory, Foretold in sacred story:
Hosanna to the Lord, For He fulfills God's Word!

Friday: It came upon the midnight clear, That glorious song of old,
From angels bending near the earth To touch their harps of gold:
"Peace on the earth, goodwill to all, From heavn's all gracious king."
The world in solemn stillness lay, To hear the angels sing.

Religion
In Unit 3- God the Father's Gracious Gifts- we are learning about God's continuing care for the world and each of us personally.

Spelling
Spelling Patterns: 
"ight" (like bright ), 
"ew" (like new),

Grammar
We will focus on combining sentences, by joining two nouns with "and." (Spiders can live in holes. + Spiders can live in water. = Spiders can live in holes and water.)
