I hope everyone had a wonderful, restful Thanksgiving! We’re back to a normal routine, with a full week of school, and we’ll be diving into more Christmas service practice!
Math:
In math this week, we’ll be finishing up our module on three-digit
numbers. We’ve already counted by 1s,
5s, and 10s within 1,000, added and subtracted 10 and 100, and identifying and extending
patterns. This week we’ll be comparing
three-digit numbers, using words and symbols.
We’ll do a practice test to review, and we’ll take our module test on Thursday. On Friday, we’ll start our module on counting
coins.
Language Arts:
We’ll be learning an important rule in English this week called the doubling
rule. You double the final consonant in
a stressed syllable with a short vowel and one final consonant before adding a
suffix that begins with a vowel (i.e., sadder, beginning). If the suffix begins with a consonant, do not
double the final consonant, and do not double the letter “x.”
Christian Studies:
This week in Christian Studies we’ll learn about how God uses leaders, despite
their sinfulness. We’ll briefly discuss
David and Bathsheba, and then we learn about Solomon and his prayer for wisdom.
Reading:
In reading this week we’ll read a new story called The House on Maple Street. This story has a unique structure, so we’ll
discuss the story structure, the setting in the story, and the author’s
purpose.
Social Studies:
We’ll start our unit on North America.
We’ll start off by making predictions about whether some statements are
true or false. Then we’ll learn about
the countries in North America. We’ll
talk about bodies of water and landforms in North America, and then we’ll talk
about how to use a landform map.
