BIBLE/VIRTUES: This month, we'll be focusing on the virtue of joy.
MATH:
- Work toward mastery of division facts
- Multiply a decimal by 10s, 100s, or 1000s
- Review previously taught concepts
Here are the instructions for administering facts practice sheets:
1. Set a timer for five minutes. Have your child complete as many facts on the page as possible before the timer goes off.
2. When the five minutes is up, if your child has not finished, please mark the place where he/she left off, and then have the student finish the sheet.
3. Parents, please use the key sent home in binders to check your child's work. (Save these to use for grading all future facts pages.) Have the student make any corrections.
3. Turn the sheet in as homework on the next school day. I will take it as a homework completion grade. (100 if they complete it; 0 if they didn't complete it or don't turn it in)

Psalm 139:1-18
For
the director of music. Of David. A psalm.
1
You have searched me, LORD, and you know me.
2
You know when I sit and when I rise; you perceive my thoughts from afar.
3
You discern my going out and my lying down; you are familiar with all my ways.
4
Before a word is on my tongue you, LORD, know it completely.
5
You hem me in behind and before, and you lay your hand upon me.
6
Such knowledge is too wonderful for me, too lofty for me to attain.
7
Where can I go from your Spirit? Where can I flee from your presence?
8
If I go up to the heavens, you are there; if I make my bed in the depths, you
are there.
9
If I rise on the wings of the dawn, if I settle on the far side of the sea,
10
even there your hand will guide me, your right hand will hold me fast.
11
If I say, “Surely the darkness will hide me and the light become night around
me,”
12
even the darkness will not be dark to you;
the
night will shine like the day, for darkness is as light to you.
13
For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb.
14
I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
your
works are wonderful, I know that full well.
15
My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place,
when
I was woven together in the depths of the earth.
16
Your eyes saw my unformed body;
all
the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to
be.
17
How precious to me are your thoughts, God! How vast is the sum of them!
18
Were I to count them, they would outnumber the grains of sand—
when
I awake, I am still with you.
