Week 5

It’s starting to feel like fall!  I’ve been talking to the class about dressing for the weather.  I recommend layers this time of year.  It’s a tricky season for dressing!

Christian Studies:
This week we’ll be talking about God turning bad times into good for His people.  We’ll talk about Jacob and Esau reuniting.  We’ll discuss forgiveness and mercy during that story.  We’ll also talk about Joseph and how his life was really hard, but how God was with him through it all.

Math:
This week we’ll start our module on equal groups.  We’ll identify even and odd numbers, write equations to represent even numbers, and we’ll represent equal groups.  We’ll also add to find the total number of objects in arrays, and we’ll practice with arrays.

Language Arts:
This week’s phonics concept is Bossy R: er.  Of the three Bossy R combinations that say /er/, this is the most common of the three.  We’ll also work on our three new red words: call, room, ball.

We’ll also dive deeply into our realistic fiction text.  We’ll discuss setting and what the words and pictures in a text can tell us about the setting.

Science:
This week in science we’ll learn about different types of land.  This will get us ready to create our own models of land and water.  They’ll choose two of the landforms we learn about to add to their model.
