Discipleship
Start your home school day with prayer and Bible reading. Our Character Virtue of the month is obedience, this week specifically focusing on trust.
Math:
We will finish up the unit on tables and graphs and begin a new unit on angles.
Math Facts: Start each day with a 5 min warm up using the Math Facts Practice sheets. 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 any of MM1- 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.
Reading
Finish reading the classical book of choice this week. Next week, we will read How We Crossed the West: The Adventures of Lewis & Clark.

Students will be working on a Civil War lapbook or presentation board instead of writing narrations this week and next. More information can be found here.
