Discipleship
Start your home school day with prayer and Bible reading. Our Character Virtue of the month is obedience. A helpful resource is available at kidsofintegrity.com
Here you can download lesson plans, Bible stories, hands-on activities, and even a parent prayer to help instill this character quality in your child.
Math:
You may notice that the lessons are slightly out of order this week. The lesson which goes with WB Ex 26 is relatively easy compared to the other concepts we are learning this week, and we've already touched on it in class. With this in mind, I've scheduled it for Friday instead of Monday. That way, we can cover the new, more challenging concepts earlier in the week.
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 Mental Math 16-18 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.

Optional Math Buddies: Fractions of a Set
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.

Composition:
We are beginning Unit 3 this week: summarizing narrative stories. In this unit, outlines will be different from the KWO they have been doing, where they pick key words from each sentence. They will now by asking and answering questions about the characters, setting, conflict, climax, and resolution. Please note: the answers will not always go on the line across from the question, and sometimes it may take more than one line to answer a question. The goal is to outline the story elements in order to retell it in their own words.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
We will complete our reading Early Thunder this week. Bring book to school each day, as we will be reading and discussing it in class.
This week, please have your child choose a classical book to begin reading next week. 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
Continue to review phonogram cards until your student has mastered them.
Students who are due to create a timeline figure are listed in red in the above table after the lesson number. The following class day, they will show the class the figure, tell 2-3 important points about the lesson, and place their figure on the classroom timeline.
Memory Work: Please spend 15 minutes per day working on the following memory work.
