Discipleship
Start your home school day with prayer and Bible reading. Our Character Virtue of the month is Self-Discipline. Read Psalm 141:3 "Set a guard over my mouth, O Lord; keep watch over the door of my lips.", Proverbs 16:32 "Better a patient man than a warrior, a man who controls his temper, than one who takes a city.", Proverbs 25:8 "Like a city whose walls are broken down is a man who lacks self-control.", Proverbs 29:11 "A fool gives full vent to his anger, but a wise man keeps himself under control.", and my favorite, 2 Corinthians 2:9 "But He said to me, 'My grace is sufficient for you, for My power is made perfect in weakness...'". Thankfully, where we are weak, He is strong. He will help us develop self-discipline.
Math:
Work through Mental Math 1 & 2 this week.
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.
Reading
We will finish reading The Wright Brothers this week. Please bring your book to class each day. Write and score one reading narration, and return to school on Monday.
