Class Work

Memory

Tuesday: Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you. Ephesians 4:32

Friday: Jesus said, "I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me." John 14:6

Religion

We will begin a new unit- God Makes us His Witnesses.

Spelling
Spelling Pattern: "base word + -er" (like teacher)
*Students will write in cursive for their practice and final tests.*

Challenge: caught, straight, immediate, option, location
 

Math
We will focus on map skills, using a number line to add, subtract, and multiply, and dividing a 2-digit number by a 1-digit number.  

Grammar
We will continue with adverbs, which are words that tell more about a verb, and we will focus on adverbs that tell when and where (first, soon, here, ahead).
 
Health
We will complete three days of family education, based in the book, "Where do Babies Come From?" We will talk about types of families and how they change, body parts, and pregnancy.
