512: All Things Bright and Beautiful assessed
We hope everyone enjoyed a beautiful weekend celebrating our Lord and Savior!
With such a short time left in our school year, we pray that you are able to find the energy and motivation to finish up the year with a bang. Do not become weary, for you are doing Kingdom work by pouring your time, love and energy into your children.
Our Kindergarteners will be reciting "All Things Bright and Beautiful" at our end of year assembly. Please continue to practice at home!
"You shall therefore impress these words of mine on your heart and on your soul; and you shall bind them as a sign on your hand, and they shall be as frontals on your forehead. "You shall teach them to your sons, talking of them when you sit in your house and when you walk along the road and when you lie down and when you rise up."
Deut. 11-18-19

Objectives: To be able to spell compound words; to understand and explain what a compound word is.
- This week we are focusing on spelling compound words. Sometimes this can be tricky for our students. They might want to leave a space between the two words (ex: sun set). If you see this happening, remind them that the two smaller words have joined to make a brand new word, therefore a space is not necessary.
- 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.
- This week we will be learning all about the United States! We will be focusing on many historical sites and natural wonders.

- Use the science syllabus that was given out at the beginning of the year to study plants along with us at home. This is not required, but spring provides a wonderful opportunity to explore and marvel at God's creation! It is so beautiful to see how he has made everything to work together!
- Please take a few minutes each homeschool day to review memory work! (Poem, Proverbs verses, Geography song)
