Spelling test will be on Friday.  I would like to give a WV History quiz this week.  Information will be given later.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

After Spring Break, we will begin West Virginia History.  4th graders make a West Virginia State Notebook.  In today's folder you will find a letter explaining this project and DUE DATES.  Please look over the information.  Your child needs a 1 inch  3-ring binder, and approx. 40 clear sheet protectors.  The ABeka state notebook does not have holes already punched so I have found this is the best way to make our notebook. Remember, if you are traveling pass WV rest areas this next week, stop and pick up brochures for your notebook.  You will need many pictures.

 CLASSROOM NEED:   WE ARE OUT OF TISSUES.  PLEASE SEND IN BOXES AFTER SPRING BREAK, THANKS

 

Please remember to get the pledges for HOOP-A-THON. 

 

Thanks to the parents that helped me with driving last Wed.  The students learned a lot.

SPELLING LIST and LOCATION!!!!!!!!  See attached sheet  Know #1-20

Love

    ¹If I speak in the tongues^{[ a]} of men and of angels, but have not love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. ²If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. ³If I give all I possess to the poor and surrender my body to the flames,^{[ b]} but have not love, I gain nothing.

    ⁴Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. ⁵It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. ⁶Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. ⁷ It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

    ⁸Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away. ⁹For we know in part and we prophesy in part, ¹⁰but when perfection comes, the imperfect disappears. ¹¹When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put childish ways behind me. ¹²Now we see but a poor reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known.

    ¹³And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.

BIBLE VERSE
 13You, my brothers, were called to be free. But do not use your freedom to 
indulge the sinful nature[a]; rather, serve one another in love. 14The 
entire law is summed up in a single command: "Love your neighbor as 
yourself."[b] 15If you keep on biting and devouring each other, watch out or 
you will be destroyed by each other. 
 16So I say, live by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the 
sinful nature. 17For the sinful nature desires what is contrary to the 
Spirit, and the Spirit what is contrary to the sinful nature. They are in 
conflict with each other, so that you do not do what you want. 18But if you 
are led by the Spirit, you are not under law. 
 19The acts of the sinful nature are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity 
and debauchery; 20idolatry and witchcraft; hatred, discord, jealousy, fits 
of rage, selfish ambition, dissensions, factions 21and envy; drunkenness, 
orgies, and the like. I warn you, as I did before, that those who live like 
this will not inherit the kingdom of God. 

 22But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, 
goodness, faithfulness, 23gentleness and self-control. Against such things 
there is no law. 24Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the 
sinful nature with its passions and desires. 25Since we live by the Spirit, 
let us keep in step with the Spirit. 26Let us not become conceited, 
provoking and envying each other.
