Discipleship:

Objective:  Experience the joy of the Lord which comes from spending time in His presence.  

Start your homeschool day with prayer and Bible reading.

Our Character virtue this month is Patience.

Math  Please work through Mental Math 12 this week.

*Note: This week students will learn to visualize 2-D representations of simple solids made out of unit cubes.

This is a precursor to the next part where they will learn that volume is the amount of space a solid occupies

and is measured in cubic units.

You will need Multi-link cubes at home. If you don't have any, let me know and I'll send some home for you to borrow.

Objectives:

1. Review previously learned concepts.

2. Interpret two-dimensional drawings of unit cubes

3. Determine the number of cubes used to make a solid.

4. Build solids from models drawn on isometric dot paper.

5. Visualize new solids formed by adding or removing cubes.

Spelling

Objective: Learn to spell words containing the sound of /u/ spelled ou.

Grammar

Objectives:

1 Know common reasons to write a business letter.

2. Write a properly formatted business letter.

3. Address an envelope and mail letter.

Note: Students will learn four types of business letters and write to a company of their choice.  They will often receive back a reply, which can be exciting. Bring the properly formatted letter, along with an addressed envelope to school on Monday, April 8th. After they are checked, we will mail them!
