Week 22

After a crazy week ending in Indoor Olympics last week, we have a full week ahead!  We’ll be spending lots of time preparing for our chapel (remember, we’re leading chapel next week!) and some time getting ready for our Valentine’s Day party.  We have a fun week ahead!

Christian Studies:
This week in Christian Studies we’ll dive right in to Jesus’ early ministry.  We’ll talk about Him calling His disciples.  We’ll talk about some of His instructions for us as His disciples by looking at what He said in the Bible.  We’ll also learn about Jesus healing a man at the pool, who had been waiting decades for healing.  We’ll discuss sin-sickness vs. physical sickness and talk about how Jesus heals both.

We’ll also spend a lot of time preparing for our chapel skit, which we’ll be doing at chapel next week.

Math:
This week in math we’ll add and subtract two-digit numbers using regrouping.  We’ve learned the foundation behind it; this week we’ll practice using the process to add and subtract, with and without regrouping.  We’ll finish the week starting our next module on addition and subtraction word problems.

Language Arts:
This week our phonics concept is Bossy R: or.  We’ll practice spelling and reading words using that concept, and we’ll learn three new red words this week: these, those, and took.

This week we’ll start a new informational text.  We’ll compare places based on pictures and information presented.

Science:
This week in science we’ll plan an investigation.  We’ll plant radishes and plan which element our plant will receive
either water or light.  We’ll also have a control group that receives both water and light in order to help us determine the cause and effect of light and water and plant growth.
