Bible (Lesson 21)
This week's lesson is "Good King Asa". Asa succeeded his father, Abijah, to the throne of Judah. Asa loved the Lord and served Him most of his life. The last years were different. Asa then trusted in people for help rather than in God. Asa received a costly burial, but we know that pomp and splendor could not erase the record of Asa's sins.

Bible Guide Pages: P. 77-79
Lesson 21 grade on Friday, Feb. 11
Creative Writing
Students will begin typing their persuasive paragraphs on their animals this week. This proves to be a fun and exciting piece of process writing! You will be notified when these are up for display in the hall. It will be a couple of weeks.
Note the following:
1. The 5th grade Valentine's Party will be on Friday, Feb. 11. Students should bring their valentines for their homeroom class that morning. They should also bring a bag or box in which to put the valentines that they receive from friends.
2. We leave for Space Camp next Monday, Feb. 14! The countdown is on. Please check the packing list so that you have all items needed before the last minute. We will begin boarding the buses at 8:00 A.M. and leave promptly at 8:30 A.M.
Have a wonderful week!
