We have some fun planting planned for this week! The kiddos enjoyed taking their bean plant home and we should have fun planting beautiful flowers in our Kindergarten planting boxes! We are enjoying getting our hands dirty!

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; understand the order of events and the concept of "first".
  • Please continue reviewing tens and ones place! (ex: use beans to show number 36: 3 groups of 10 and 6 ones; Can you write down the number that has 2 tens and 7 ones?; How many tens and ones does number 42 have?; What does 3 tens really mean? 30!) This can be a difficult concept for some students. 
  • This week we are ordering. Please make sure that you are doing the activities in the Introduction at the bottom of the page. Remind students that we can order from beginning to end, end to beginning, largest to smallest, smallest to largest. 
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. 
Writing 
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.
  • Keep monitoring proper pencil grip and correct letter formation! Have your student self-correct any backward letter or number!
Spelling
Objectives:  To be able to spell words that have "ng" at the end.
  • We have already been practicing the phonogram ng in reading. In this lesson students will build upon their knowledge to apply the phonogram to spelling.
  • Remember to begin each lesson by going over yellow phonogram cards and blue key cards.  
  • Please make sure to return Spelling Journals.
History 
Objectives: to gain an understanding that history began with God and creation; to see God's hand in every event.
  • see table
  •  Song for the semester:  The Star-Spangled Banner http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vPKp29Luryc
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.
  • Your child should have come home with a cup containing a bean plant. We have learned that a seed needs warmth, water, and air to grow.  All of the plants were growing well.  Ask your child to describe what is happening and identify parts. Please extend this study as much as you would like at home. I encourage you to take the plant out of the cup and plant it in your flower bed.
  • 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!
Geography
Objectives: to identify and name the Continents and Oceans on a map; to sing the names of the Southern States of the US.
  • Click here for the Geography songs for the year.

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 all long vowels/silent e pattern; to be able to differentiate between a short vowel and a long vowel word.
  • We are continuing our study of long vowels with silent e and open syllable (we will cover this later in All About Spelling, but OPG provides a friendly way to explain it to your child right now in lesson 73). 
  • We have covered all vowels with silent e!
  • Transitioning from reading just short vowel words to reading long vowel words can require extra time and practice; that is why we are slowly working our way through these lessons. Please bring in the All About Spelling key cards to guide your child if they are missing words. For example, "A vowel's first sound is short. Is there anything in this word that will make this vowel long? A silent e? The last and only vowel? So, will this vowel make its long or short sound? Good! Let's try that word again!"
  • 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. 
Writing 
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.
  • Keep monitoring proper pencil grip and correct letter formation! Have your student self-correct any backward letter or number!
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.
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.
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 are 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!

  • Pacific States will be introduced next and will be the last Geography song for the year!
Memory Work
Objectives: To memorize true, good, and beautiful pieces and recite to the class.
