Discipleship
Start your home school day with prayer and Bible reading. Our Character Virtue of the month is Honesty. http://www.kidsofintegrity.com/lessons/honesty has wonderful resources to help instill this character trait in your child.
Math:
On Tuesday, use Review A to assess your student's understanding of the skills learned. There is no need to do every problem if your student understands the concepts well. You may only need to do one or two problems of some skills, and all the problems of others, depending on your student's needs. However, I would recommend everyone work the word problems on p.30, bar modeling where necessary.
Work through Mental Math 3 & 4 this week. Next week we will start adding/subtracting, multiplying/dividing decimals, so keep honing those math facts!
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.
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.
