Week 10

Another full week with some shifting weather!  I'll be encouraging the kids to come prepared with layers, since it seems we'll have a different type of weather every day!

Harvest Party:
We'll have our harvest party on Tuesday, October 31 from 1:45-2:45 PM.  The kids will do a craft, have a snack, play a game, and listen to some fall/harvest type books.  Look for pictures on Seesaw!

Math:

This week in math we'll be finishing up our module on hundreds, tens, and ones.  We'll be using place value to 1,000, then we'll do a practice test, and take the test on place value.  We'll do our intro into the next module, and we'll end the week with some more practice on using expanded form.

Language Arts:
This week we'll be learning about a different diphthong: ou and ow.  We'll practice saying the sound and listening to how the different sounds blend together.  We'll discuss the rules for using the spelling (ou at the beginning and middle of words and syllables, ow at the end of words and syllables and when followed by an "l" or "n").  We'll also work on spelling words with ou and ow, both in isolation and in sentences.

In reading we'll discuss pictures and captions and how they can add information to the text.  We'll also identify and define key words in a text.

Christian Studies:
This week we'll continue learning about Moses and the Israelites, and we'll meet Joshua.  We'll talk about God providing water for the Israelites through Moses striking a rock, and we'll talk about the fall of Jericho.

Social Studies:

We'll continue practicing using a map, and we'll talk about location in various ways.
