Memory Work for the Week of December 15th:

Tuesday (First and Second)
I will send thee six by six,
Six flocks of sheep with shepherds....

Thursday (First and Second)
I will send thee seven by seven,
Seven multitudes of angels...

NO MEMORY WORK FOR FRIDAY!

Reading
Next week is unit test time!  This means we will not have regular Tuesday-Thursday night Reading homework.  Kids work hard on the unit tests all week during school time and do not begin a new story on these weeks.  Please take this opportunity to review all of the Unit Two vocabulary words which can be found on the October 24th through December 5th  News and Notes posts.  

Spelling
In the place of a Spelling test next week, each class will be having a Spelling Bee over all words learned so far this school year.  Feel free to look back at all of the old blog posts or to play games with old lists on Spelling City to allow your child to study for their "bee".
