Week 34

The sun is shining and we are hydrating!

Christian Studies:
This week in Christian Studies we’re learning about the early church.  We read about the Jerusalem council and how the believers solved their differences in their understandings of how people are saved.  Then we discussed ways in which we can show God’s love for others.  Then we’ll read about Barnabas and Paul in Antioch and how that was the first time followers of Jesus were called “Christians.”  We’ll also discuss names that WE have and how our ultimate identity is in Christ.

Math:
This week in math we’ll finish up our module on 2- and 3-dimensional shapes.  We’ll identify and describe shapes with mathematical vocabulary, such as faces, edges, vertices, sides, and angles.  Then we’ll start our module on fractions by partitioning rectangles into equal parts. 

Language Arts:
This week’s phonics concept is spelling the /oo/ sound (like in “shook” and “put”) with oo and u.  We’ll practice the concept, as well as our new red word: together.

We’ll also do a close read of our text about migration, using text evidence to support our answers.

Science:
We’ll also continue on with our unit on solids and liquids by observing solids and liquids and how they behave.  We’ll use that information to make a claim about sand
whether we think it’s a solid or a liquid.  Then we’ll discover the answer and broaden our minds a little bit about how solids and liquids behave.  We’ll also test three different materials for a “boo-boo pack” and determine which one is better suited for that purpose.
