Welcome to February!! What do you do when you want to have a space party?
You planet!!
We are half way done with our solar system and have moved into the gas giants! Ask your student the difference between a terrestrial planet (solid - you could land on) and a gas planet (one that you would pass through).
Math
Objectives: to complete number bonds for tens and ones; to understand simple addition problems and relate addition equations to number bonds; to understand different combinations of number bonds.
- We are performing operations on numbers! Though the first pages of addition discuss the = sign as 'makes', we will be using the definition of "same as" for the equals sign, as noted on page 44.
- Remember that the hands-on (concrete) portion of the lesson is the most important. If your child is struggling with the paper portion (the abstract), go back to concrete. It is important to stay in the concrete phase as long as they need to.
- There is more practice with addition on MATH BUDDIES!
Reading
Objectives: to begin reading and accurately blending words and sentences that contain three consonant blends (scr, str, spl, spr).
- Please make sure to go over each OPG reading lesson, including reviews, daily. Consistency and repetition is key, for creating beautiful, competent readers!
- Please follow up each lesson and mini book review, by having your child read to you, a book at their appropriate level. This should be done at a separate time of the day from their OPG lesson.
- We have been sending home books in reading folders for each student at their appropriate reading level. However, if you feel that you would like your own phonics friendly books at home, you are welcome to copy and paste the link below for a list of phonetic readers that will go along well with our curriculum. *These are NOT at all required or mandatory for you to purchase. They are simply resources for anyone who is needing or wanting additional resources.

These readers are also phonetic and would provide additional practice for your student :
All About Reading "Run, Bug Run" reader/ "The Runt Pig" reader/ "Cobweb The Cat" reader
Composition (see table)
Objectives: To write the capital letters and lower case letters correctly (typically top to bottom/left to right) on handwriting paper; to write first and last names correctly on handwriting paper; to be able to accurately copy a sentence, using handwriting lines correctly.
- see table
Spelling
Objectives: To be able to write words with th, sh, and ch from dictation; to be able to write phrases from dictation.
- Add yellow phonograms ck, ng, and nk to your daily review - these have been covered in reading.
- Please note the "Dictate Phrases" portion of the lesson. This is a new addition to the work load. Remind your student to put spaces between their words. Unless a proper noun, words should be written with lowercase letters. These are phrases and not complete sentences, so they do not have punctuation.
- Please make sure that the spelling words and phrases are written on manuscript paper and returned in the green folder on Wednesday.
History
Objectives: to gain an understanding that history began with God and creation; to see God's hand in every event.
- Song for the semester: The Star-Spangled Banner http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vPKp29Luryc
Science
Objectives: to be able to identify the 8 planets in order of distance from the sun; to identify and describe the 5 phases of the moon; to be able to explain that the rotation of the earth is the reason we have night and day.
