Discipleship
Start your home school day with prayer and Bible reading. Our Character Virtue of the month is obedience, this week specifically focusing on humility. Read Philippians 2:1-11 How did Jesus demonstrate humility? What stands out to you in this passage? Can you name someone we've studied this year who demonstrates humility and obedience?
Here's another great resource from Kids of Integrity for additional verses, stories, lessons, prayers and hands-on activities designed to help parents instill humility and obedience in their children. Humility
Math: On both Monday and Wednesday we will be using bar models to solve word problems, so you may want to read over the HIG for those two days to familiarize yourself with the material. Math Buddies also provides some great tutorial videos on bar modeling with fractions. Some problems may be easily solved without a bar model, but learning how to use this tool is so important for the more difficult problems. When doing the exercises, require your child to draw a bar model for every problem where one is shown in the HIG answer book.
Math Facts: Start each day with a 5 min warm up using the Math Facts Practice sheets. This week we will work on division facts at school. 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 MM 18 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.
Composition:
We will continue writing story sequence outlines based on a source text, and begin writing a three paragraph story about Theseus and the Minotaur.Objectives for this unit:
1. For students to learn to identify the story sequence in a narrative story.
2. For students to learn to make outlines based on the story sequence chart.
3. For students to summarize stories from their outlines and consequently internalize the components of a well-constructed story.
4. To introduce the idea that each paragraph has a purpose.
Reading
Bring your Early Thunder book to school as we will complete our discussion of this book on Monday.
Begin reading a classical book of your choice this week and pace yourself to complete the book in three weeks. Here is a great resource for choosing a book. Write and score a narration on any one chapter of this week's reading and return to school on Monday. Reading
Spelling
Please continue to review phonograms at home as needed. We will be administering Assessment 2 of the Classical Phonics Assessment Tracker next week.
