Bible:
We're currently reading stories from the Children's Bible and discussing. I want students to learn to be comfortable asking questions about the Bible and thinking about the ideas and talking about them. Sometimes we may not know the answers to their questions, but we can model what to do in that situation (look it up, ask someone we trust, be patient with not knowing all the answers but look forward to asking God in person one day!). Use maps to find where the events are taking place.
Math:
Math skills are not progressing as they should be. This causes difficulty and mistakes in multiplication and especially division. Students are still using their fingers to count or are counting in their heads. Addition and Subtraction math facts should be memorized by now, and Multiplication tables up to the 5's should be memorized. Have your student complete the math facts sheet of 100 problems (in the old binder or using the ones I sent), seeing how many they can complete in 5 minutes and then finishing the rest after the 5 minutes are up. This is to be done daily. We are reciting the times tables (the 2's, 3's, 4's, etc.) in class aloud. Please add this to the daily routine at home as well. Students can earn candy for being able to recite the multiplication tables from memory.
Spelling:
This week's lesson (14) practices spelling words in which the base word drops its final e to add ed, er or ing. Have students practice finding the "base word" in each spelling word and note the loss of the e.

Latin/Grammar:
The test (Tuesday) over Lesson 6 words will be different - students will need to write out the Latin number words, spelled correctly. We start Lesson 7 on Wednesday. Lesson 7 introduces a new noun chart to begin memorizing. One of the vocabulary words is an adverb, not a noun or verb. See if students can figure out which word isn't a noun or verb.
What to bring to school:
-Little Pilgrim's Progress
-Horse and His Boy
-Exploring Arithmetic 3
-Spelling Workout D
-Latina Christiana
-The World of Mammals
-The Golden Children's Bible
-Copybooks (we have four currently)
Thank you for your patience and faithfulness!
