Week 7

We are so excited that we are starting chapel families this week!  These chapel families are a team of students comprised of K-8 students that will sit together at chapel.  K-2 students will be on a chapel family with their buddies.  These chapel families will also serve as the Indoor Olympic teams in January!

Christian Studies:
This week in Christian Studies we’ll continue going through the Old Testament.  This week we’ll be connecting Passover to the Lord’s Supper.  We’ll discuss the exodus and Moses’ and Miriam’s songs to praise God after He delivers them from Egypt (this is where our memory work comes from this week).

Math:
This week in math we’ll finish off our module on collecting and showing data.  The students will use tally marks to show data, and will use tally charts to show information in both picture and bar graphs.  Then we’ll start the next module, which will dive into place value and will help us master hundreds, tens, and ones.

Language Arts:
This week’s phonics concept is the last of the Bossy R combinations that says “er”—ur.  This is the least common spelling of that sound, but there are quite a few words that the students will be able to read and spell once they learn this concept.

We’ll also continue looking at the genre of informational text.  We’ll identify the main idea of a text and use text evidence to answer questions.  We’ll also learn new vocabulary through the context of the text.

Science:
We’ll continue looking at land and water on Earth, focusing on patterns.  We’ll use what we learn to add patterns to our models.  We’ll also discuss maps from around the world and throughout history.  This will get us prepared to create our own maps of our models.
