Discipleship
Start your home school day with prayer and Bible reading.  This month's character virtue is Courage
  
Math: This week we will be reviewing all previously learned skills. Please assist your student as necessary to ensure mastery of each skill. If they have obviously mastered the skill, there is no need to do every single problem.

With summer almost here, start planning now to help your child retain the math skills they have learned! The following books are great ways to keep sharp over the summer. These are challenging reviews of concepts learned, so choose the level you have just completed or go back, but not up.
Singapore Math Intensive Practice 
Singapore Extra Practice for US Edition
Also note that students should have mastery of all math facts, so be sure to work on them over the summer to keep sharp. There are many ways to practice math facts: games, flashcards, electronic devises, wrap-ups, apps, etc. Let's make a point to not lose ground over the summer!

Composition:  Students will be presenting their original myths to the class this week.  Please have them practice a time or two at home.

Reading: Students should be reading a minimum of 40 minutes per day.  After each chapter students should narrate the passage to parents. Parents should then ask questions about the meaning of the passage and engage in Socratic discussion with their student.

Spelling: Students will analyze six ways to spell the sound of /er/. Also, we are giving our final phonogram assessment. Please give Assessment #4 on Tues. and return to school for recording.

Latin:Listen to Latin chants daily to aid in memorization.

Science: 
Pendulum: a weight hanging from a string

Memory Work:  Please spend 15 minutes per day working on the following memory work.
