This week we are going to learn an extension of the fact family concept – solving for the missing addend. Basically 9 + ? = 17. This is not a concept in the workbook, but I think it’s a valuable topic to cover at this point. For homework, please do the next three lessons in the workbook. There are not very many new concepts presented in the rest of the workbook. We will spend our class time doing review and practicing our skills.

Homework Due April 30th

On Tuesday, we will discuss addition of three digit numbers. This should be a pretty easy transition for them, I think. Homework Wednesday is lesson 101. On Thursday, we are going to start word problems using subtraction as well as addition/subtraction fact families. For homework on Friday and Monday, please finish lesson 102 and complete lessons 103 and 104. Reduce as necessary.

With the exception of a few concepts, the rest of the workbook is just review and practice. I plan to try and cover those few concepts in the next few weeks so that everything is covered before the end of the year. It should leave you with ample practice in the workbook if you feel your child needs to continue reviewing over the summer.

Homework Due April 16

Miss April is taking time off this week and next with her impending wedding. Miss Corrie and Miss Kari are holding down the fort in her absence.

We had a special lesson with our reading specialist today on “ar” and bossy “r.” How fun! The students did very well.

Language Arts:

We are sending home pg. 8 and pg. 53/54 today. We also sent home a spelling list that we will review through 4/11.

Phonics: “sh” sound – review and brainstorm “sh” words

Daily 5: Our new strategy – “Retell the Story” – can you read a story and retell it to our family?

History: Chapter 30 – India under the Moguls.

Science: We are combining with Miss Erica’s class and are covering plants – the parts and also what plants need to grow.

If you have any questions please don’t hesitate to reach out through email – corriecabes@gmail.com or erica.flynn@att.net

Thank you for your patience as I get caught up from my packed weekend! I hope your Easter was very special. Tuesday we are going to work on reviewing even and odd numbers and also sequencing. I will be jumping around in Lessons 94 – 96 practicing these concepts. For homework Wednesday, please complete the unfinished portions of these lessons. Thursday we will be looking at volume – ounce, cup, pint, quart and gallon. On Friday and Monday, please complete lesson 99 – it’s extra long! If you need extra work, feel free to complete Test 10. I am not planning on giving that in class.

Homework Due April 9th

I can’t figure out what’s going on with my posts! So, I decided to try to post from the computer on my desk at school and see what happens.

In our literacy studies, we are continuing on with our grammar lessons in Sonlight and continuing to develop good reading strategies using the Daily 5 method. This week, our new strategy “Tune in to interesting words and use new vocabulary in speaking and writing.” Our spelling words are: shots, sand, stand, rashes, rings, bring, tick, boy’s, dogs’, Sam’s.

This week in history we are studying West Africa. In science we’re talking about coastlines and water flow.

Also, we’re going to hunt some eggs this week. So, please check your email for instructions. Please rest assured that in class our focus will be on the path our Lord will take this week. We will be sending home a poster for your child to color and fill in their thoughts about Jesus; His life, death and Ressurection.

This week we are going to do Test 9 on Tuesday. I hope to have a clear picture of what skills we may need to continue focusing on before moving forward. Wednesday for homework, please complete Lesson 90. On Thursday, I hope to work on measurement using centimeters. We will also compare inches and centimeters. However, if it is clear from the test that there is an area that needs work across the board, we will spend Thursday reviewing that skill. I will send out an email, if necessary, revising the homework assignment sheet, but I hope that won’t be the case. Homework Friday and Monday are Lessons 92 and 93.

Also, please remember to send in the lessons torn out and attached to the assignment sheet.

Homework Due April 2nd

I’ve had a great and much needed spring break. I pray that yours has been restful and fun as well. This week we are jumping back into math with Money! On Tuesday, we will work with adding coin values. Thursday, we are going to tackle graphing. I am going to have a taste test and we will graph our results. I think the kids will really enjoy it. I’m using our school time to work more on concepts and less on completing the workbook pages. So if you see blank pages coming home in the workbook, we ARE doing a lot of math – it’s just in the form of games and manipulatives, with the workbook being saved for home practice.

Homework Due 3/26
