Welcome back! We are so excited to see all the sweet faces again! We hope everyone is feeling refreshed after our wonderful little break. We jump right back into learning this week with beautiful weather for learning about plants. You have all worked so hard with your children! We are almost to the finish line!


*For Thursday's science homework you will need a stem of some sort (ex: celery, carnation flower, etc) and food coloring. It will require you to leave it in the colored water for 24 hours and then record observations.


Math 
Objectives: compare numbers with addition and subtraction using terms greater and smaller; count groups of 10; identify, write and name numbers to 40, with an understanding of what the tens and ones mean in each number.
  • We continue to work on addition and subtraction. In addition to our workbook pages, please practice several story problems (both addition and subtraction) with your student. Let them use manipulatives to solve the problem and have them write the equation that goes with the problem. 
  • We are also focusing on comparing numbers/equations using the terms greater and smaller. We will also be using the terms more than,  less than, and larger so please use all terminology. Follow the Introduction at the bottom of p.98, 102, 103
    Reading
    Objectives: to read and accurately blend words and sentences with all long vowels/silent e pattern; to be able to differentiate between a short vowel and a long vowel word; to be able to read words/sentences with the short vowel 'ck' changing to long vowel 'k' with silent e.
    • Remember to begin the lessons by reviewing our current sight words and reading over words/sentences from previous lessons. *Reviewing and repetition is key!
    • Sight words :to, two, and too are introduced this week. 
    • 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. 
    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 sentences, using handwriting lines correctly.
    • see table
    Spelling
    Objectives:  To be able to spell words that have a double consonant (ff,ll,ss) by using our spelling rule; to be able to verbalize why we double the consonant in those words.
    • Introduce blue key card 9
    • Doubling the letters f, l, and s has already been covered in OPG for reading purposes. This lesson covers the rule for when to double those consonants when spelling them.
    • Please make sure to put the paper from 'Spell on Paper' in the green folder, so that we can check it every Wednesday. Paper used for spelling in kindergarten should be manuscript lined paper (with a top, mid, and bottom line) to reinforce proper letter formation.
        History 
        Objectives: to gain an understanding that history began with God and creation; to see God's hand in every event.
        • We are learning about some amazing inventors this week, who through perseverance and God given talents, greatly contributed to our nation! Feel free to explore GW Carver and Thomas Edison further. You might inspire your own little scientist!
        •  Song for the semester:  The Star-Spangled Banner http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vPKp29Luryc

        Geography

        Objectives: to identify and name the continents and oceans on a map; to sing the name of the 50 US states.

        Science
        Objectives: to be able to identify the parts of a plant and what their job is; to describe the life cycle of a plant; to be able to discuss God's purpose for plants.
        • Throughout our unit on plants, we will be focusing on plant parts, plant needs, life cycle of a plant, and God's purpose for plants.
        • Worksheet "Stem Study". Please return on Monday so students can share their findings with the class.
        • Here's a fun song we will be singing in class:
