Week 20

We’re packing lots of learning into this short week!

Christian Studies:
This week in Christian Studies we’ll move through the beginning of the New Testament.  We’ll talk about Jesus’ birth and the visit of the wise men.  We’ll discuss what Jesus’ birth means for us, and we’ll talk about gifts that we can give to Jesus.

Math:
This week in math we’ll review and finish up our module on decomposing numbers in different ways to add and subtract.  Then we’ll start our next module on adding and subtracting two-digit numbers.  We’ll be regrouping (“carrying the one” and “borrowing”) in order to add and subtract in the correct order.

Language Arts:
This week’s phonics concept is a really important one, as it shows up all over the English language: kind old words.  These words have long vowel sounds, not following the rules.  These words have the following endings: -ild, -ind, -old, -ost, -olt.  While we only have four days this week, we’re going to have the same number of phonics sessions, rather than rushing through our word studies.

Science:
This week we’ll start off our science unit on finding the best place for a plant to grow by examining what we already know.   We’ll ask questions and determine our thoughts and predictions before moving into more of the unit.
