The memory work for the week is: Matthew 5:6-8 (Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled. Blessed are the merciful, for they will receive mercy. Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God.) due October 27.
We are having a rough time with listening and following directions. It tends to be more so on Tuesday’s and Thursday’s. I’m not sure if it’s the remote learning day that throws things off, but we will continue to work on things. We’re also going to revisit our community and friendship conversation, as we seem to struggle in that area again as well. I’m hopeful things will turn around and we will bounce back like rockstars! Reading: We are continuing our conversation about inventions. So far we learned about Chester Greenwood and his earmuffs, Mary Anderson and her windshield wipers, George Crum and his potato chips, and Elijah McCoy and his oil cup. We are continuing our talk about cause and effect and how we can find them in different books that we read, such as Snowmen At Night and If You Give a Pig a Pancake. They really enjoyed seeing that the things in our reading curriculum are also found in other things, even social studies. Our reading and spelling test will be Friday. Science: We have finished our first topic and we will have our test on Thursday. In their Tuesday folder, you will find a review sheet that will have everything that they will need to know for their test. I will also provide a link for Kahoot, similar to our math review, for them to go through to help them review. Social Studies: We are wrapping up our last lesson for our first topic and we will move into the reviewing stages. We will also wrap up our quest project, which is on National Parks. We will move into the reviewing stages on Friday and continue them on Monday. The test is slated to be Tuesday, but the date can change if we need more time. They will be provided with a review sheet, and a review game/Kahoot, just like with math and science. Math: We are crawling through topic 3. This topic is on some of the harder factors, 3,4,6,7,8, and two complicated properties. We learned 3’s facts on Monday and 4’s facts today, and they struggled with skip counting. Please spend some extra time on those facts, and maybe even have them create a dance. I’ve learned that it helps to get children moving, especially with multiplication and division. So, in class we skip, we make beats, and we play head, shoulders, knees, and toes. If you need more suggestions or ideas, please let me know. Continue to have them use the distributive property, as it’s important that they understand how to use it, but also feel comfortable to use it, This will help them solve equations with factors they have yet to master. On Thursday, we will do a check-in to see if we need to recap before continuing through the topic. Important Dates:
