Week 30

We’re back at school after more than a week off, and we’re all (hopefully) refreshed and reenergized!

Christian Studies:
This week we’ll talk about Jesus’ final week.  We’ll talk about His farewell words to His disciples and we’ll apply them to our lives.  Then we’ll discuss Peter denying Jesus.  We’ll talk about the word “confess” and how it can mean to confess our sins or it can mean that we confess our faith. 

Math:
This week in math we’ll finish our module on three-digit subtraction.  We’ll focus on subtracting when the top number is zero, and we’ll put it all together by adding and subtracting three-digit numbers.

Language Arts:
This week’s phonics concept is using “ph” to make the /f/ sound.  Our red words also have “-gh” endings to make the /f/ sound.

We’ll also start a new reading text selection.  We’ll focus on realistic fiction as we read The Seasons of Arnold’s Apple Tree.  We’ll focus on new vocabulary and we’ll discuss the setting and the plot of the story.
