Discipleship
Start your home school day with prayer and Bible reading. Our Character Virtue of the month is: Faith. We've been reading and discussing stories of faith in the Bible. What are some of your favorites? Read one together and discuss how you can apply what you've learned in your own life.
Math:
We start working with fractions this week. The fraction bars and circles in Appendix A will be helpful to copy and have available to your student. Allow your student to use them as long as necessary as they work through the problems, until they no longer need the concrete reinforcement.
Math Facts: Start each day with a 5 min warm up using the Math Facts Practice sheets. This week we will continue doing Practice Sheet G (multiplication) at school. We're seeing great progress, but please continue doing facts practice sheets daily at home until all facts are completely mastered.
Mental Math: Continue your warm up with 5 minutes of Mental Math. This week work through Mental Math 9-11 in the HIG appendix.
Workbook Exercises: Please check these daily and have students make corrections.
Math Buddies: We encourage you to regularly use this web site to help you better understand how to teach a lesson and to provide opportunities for your child to practice new skills or review previously learned concepts that they may need extra practice with.

Optional Math Buddies: Adding Fractions Using Equivalent Fractions
Bar Modeling: Bar modeling is a key component of problem solving. We will now do a practice "Bar Model of the Day" each day at school along with our normal math facts and mental math warm-ups. Encourage your student to use bar models for all word problems, even if they can solve without one, as it's good practice for the more difficult word problems.
