Behold, children are a heritage from the Lord, the fruit of the womb a reward. Like arrows in the hand of a warrior are the children of one's youth. Blessed is the man who fills his quiver with them!

Wednesday: Link to Saul's Conversion Painting can be found HERE.
Objectives:
1. To be able to order numbers
2. To recognize and order ordinal numbers (1st - 10th)
3. To understand different ways to measure time.- This week we continue to focus on ordering, and will introduce ordinal numbers. We are also focusing on understanding the different ways to measure time (our day, time, calendar).
- PLEASE continue reviewing at home, some of the bigger topics we have touched on : adding/subtracting, tens/ones, numbers up to 40, number bonds. Repetition is so important for our young kiddos!
Reading
Objectives:
1. To begin reading and accurately blending words and sentences with hard and soft c and g.
2. To be able to verbalize understanding of the spelling rule applying to the sounds of c and g.
3. To continue to grow in reading fluency.
- 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.
- This week's minibooks can be found here. L78, L79, and L80.
