Spring is here, and your little ones are certainly growing before our eyes! Do not grow weary as you continue your task of teaching at home! The seeds you are planting, and the time with your children is something you will cherish for years to come.
Math
Objectives: Identify, write and name numbers to 40, with an understanding of what the tens and ones mean in each number; understand that numbers have order, and be able to order numbers up to 40.
- We are working with numbers to 40 this week - ordering, counting, writing, and understanding the tens place. While working with numbers, continue to address the pattern that our number system follows. We see this order (0-9) in the tens places as well as the ones place. A number chart is particularly helpful for recognizing the patterns. You can find two different number charts on the main blog page under Curricula -> Math -> Singapore Math Resources -> Number Gird and Ten Frames or here.
Reading
Objectives: to read and accurately blend words and sentences with hard and soft c and g; to be able to verbalize understanding of the spelling rule applying to the sounds of c and g.
- Remember to begin the lessons by reviewing our current sight words and reading over words/sentences from previous lessons. *Reviewing and repetition is key!
- This week we focus on the hard and soft sounds of "c" and "g". We learned in AAS that when "c" is followed by e, i, or y, it makes the soft sound. The same rule applies for "g".
- 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 'k' or 'ck' at the end; to be able to verbalize when and why we would use each one.

- It is so exciting to see our kinder kiddos learning and memorizing spelling rules! It will serve them well in the years to come!
- Introduce blue key card 10
- Remember to begin each lesson by going over yellow phonogram cards and blue key cards.
- 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.
- Song for the semester: The Star-Spangled Banner http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vPKp29Luryc
- We will be focusing on Thomas Edison and Theodore Roosevelt this week.
Geography
Objectives: to identify and name the continents and oceans on a map; to sing the name of the 50 US states.- The assessment of the names of the 50 states will be on April 26th.

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.
- Make sure you are getting outdoors in this beautiful weather and exploring nature! Make observations about plants. Ask your student "What do you notice?" or "Tell me everything you can about this."
- Here's a fun song we will be singing in class:
Parts of a Plant (tune: head, shoulders, knees and toes)
Flower, stem, leaves, and roots.
leaves and roots.
Flower, stem, leaves, and roots.
leaves and roots.
All it takes is water, air, and light!
Flower, stem, leaves, and roots.
leaves and roots.
- Please take a few minutes each homeschool day to review memory work! (Poem, Proverbs verses, Geography song)
- Memorization of good, true and beautiful things is a part of our wonderful classical education!
